Translation of original operating manual
Viscosity up to 100 cSt
Symbol: V
This setting is for media with a viscosity up to approx. 100 cSt.
The pump suction rate is reduced.
The maximum flow rate is limited to 50 ml/min.
Viscosity up to 500 cSt
Symbol: H
This setting is for media with a viscosity up to approx. 500 cSt.
The pump suction rate is significantly reduced.
The maximum flow rate is limited to 20 ml/min.
7.14. Calibration
The pump has already been precisely adjusted in the factory (see
section 4.3).
However, the device can operate even more accurately if it is
properly calibrated. Calibration eliminates any variances caused
by supply lines, back-pressure and viscosity.
The calibration function uses the specified flow setting as the
target value. This means the pump can always be calibrated
for the current operating point.
To calibrate the pump
1. Take an accurate measurement of the flow rate or metering
volume.
2. Use the control knob to make the required menu selection [Cal.
100.0%].
3. Input the measured actual value with the control knob and
confirm.
4. Check the calibration with a repeat measurement.
If the target flow rate is still not achieved after several
calibration attempts (see Chapter 10).
Calibration can be used to increase or decrease the pump flow
rate by up to 20%.
