EXHAUST connector 

Connector for connecting a “retain” pressure source or for EXHAUST. If no “retain” pressure 
is connected, the system is exhausted as long as no pressure is applied to the pipette. 
 

(4)

 

IN connector 

Connector for connecting the filtered, dry and oil-free gas source. The gas source must be 
filtered by a 5 µm filter element. 

Important

: Do not connect sources of OXYGEN or COMBUSTIBLE gases!! 

 

Note

: npi recommends an input pressure of 1 bar / 14 psi more than the maximum output 

pressure. 
 

(5)

 

Pressure regulator 

Rotary knob for regulating the pressure of the ejection channel. The pressure is indicated by the 
manometer (#

1

). 

 

(6)

 

OUT connector 

Connector for connecting the injection micropipette, or for connecting the tubing to external 
valve, e.g. the micropipette holder 

micro

JECT. The EJECT pressure is supplied to this 

connector. 
 

(7)

 

EXTERNAL VALVE connector (optional) 

Connector for the electrical connection of the external valve. 
 

(8)

 

TIMING MONITOR 

BNC connector providing a TTL signal that indicates the status of the regulated injection valve 
(HI = valve open, LO = valve closed). 
 

(9)

 

PRESSURE MONITOR 

BNC connector monitoring the pressure output; sensitivity: 1 V / bar or 0.1 V / psi, respectively. 
 

(10)

 

REMOTE CONTROL connector 

BNC connector for connecting a remote control, e.g. a pushbutton. 
 

(11)

 

TTL INPUT 

BNC connector for connecting a TTL signal for EXTERN operation or for using the internal 
timer in TIMER operating mode (see also #

12

).
