Since tubes of different materials, sizes, ages, and durometers produce different
flow rates, the
CALIBRATE key
allows you to calibrate each piece of tubing you
use. Calibration accuracy data is shown in Table 9-1 in Chapter 9. Once the
tubing is calibrated, you no longer need to be concerned about flow rate
variances outlines in Table 9-3.
Along with the usual pumping equipment (pump(s), pump motor), you will
need calibrated beakers or cylinders to function as source and drain
containers.
1.
Before you initiate the calibration process, you must set the pump up for
pumping in the same direction as you plan to use during normal pump
operation (refer to Section 5.2). In addition, make sure the display shows
STOPPED Display Mode
(the motor is not running).
2.
Set either the RPM or FLOW RATE setting of the pump motor:
2a. To set the RPM, press the
RPM key
. The display flashes the current RPM
setting (xxx rpm). Use the
UP and DOWN ARROW keys
to adjust the
setting.
2b. To set the FLOW RATE, press the
TUBE ID key
and use the
UP and DOWN
ARROW keys
to select the inner diameter of the tube you are using. Press
the
FLOW RATE key
. Use the
UP and DOWN ARROW keys
to adjust the
setting.
3.
When the display shows the RPM or FLOW RATE setting you desire, you are
ready to initiate the calibration process.
4.
Press the
CALIBRATE key
. The display should flash and show, “Prime or
START ?”.
5.
To prime the tube, press and hold down the
PRIME key
. As long as you hold
down the
PRIME key
, fluid flows in the tube, and the display shows,
“Priming...”.
6.
When fluid has completely filled the tube, simply release the
PRIME key
. The
pump motor stops running, and fluid stops flowing.
7.
To dispense fluid for calibration, hold the tubing outlet over the drain container
and press the
START/STOP key
. Fluid flows, and the display enters the
Running
Display Mode
, showing the message, “Dispensing...”.
8.
When you have allowed fluid to dispense for a minute or two, press the
START/STOP key
to stop the pump. Fluid stops dispensing, and the display
returns to the
STOPPED Display Mode
. The display momentarily flashes the
message, “Enter TOTAL VOL.” and then flashes the total volume dispensed (xxx
ml or xxx Liters) alternating with the message “Start or CAL ?”.
9.
To continue to dispense fluid, press the
START/STOP key
again. Fluid flows,
and the display returns to the
Running Display Mode
, showing the message,
“Dispensing...”.
