4.1 PROGRAMMABLE R-P: Setup
SUMMARY:
The Setup menu is identical to the Edit menus in the other two modes except that
the Pump Rate and Pump Pressure are input as part of the Step-by-Step instructions mentioned
in the previous section.
Use
“Up”
and
“Down”
keys to make a selection, then press
“Select”
to implement that
selection.
Pump Tubing:
Select sizes #13, 14, 16, 25, 17, 15, 24 or #35, use
“Up”
and
“Down”
keys for
choice of pump tubing size, then press
“Select”.
Based upon your selection
,
the FilterTec Plus
will access factory installed calibration tables, which relate the system output in ml/min. to motor
speed. The FilterTec Plus output can also be re-calibrated by the utilizing the front panel star
(
) key. (See CONSTANT RATE Mode)
Clear Cumul:
Resets (Clears) the following counters in the “Exec” front panel display: CV =
Cumulative Volume; RT = Run Time; Q1 = Filtrate Weight.
Response F:
Response Factor setting. The Pump Response Factor = 100 is the default value.
Increasing the Pump Response Factor will increase the pumps responsiveness to pressure
changes.
Pressure Zero:
Allows you to zero the backpressure readings of all 3 pressure sensors. The
FilterTec Plus pump must not be running when resetting pressure sensor output.
Alarm Enable:
Allows you to select alarm options for five (5) different alarm conditions. There
are 3 options available: 1. Disable the alarm
(Off);
2.Enable an auditory alarm
(Alarm Only);
3.
Stop pump and provide an auditory alarm
(Pump Stop)
when user defined alarm limits are
exceeded. The Hi-Pressure Alarm has a fourth option:
Pmaintain
, which allows you to switch
from the rate control method to the pressure control method when running an R-Step or R-Scan
step.
Alarm Limits:
Allows you to assign alarm limits for several different alarm conditions:
Cumulative Volume
in milliliters;
Hi-Temperature in
⁰
C;
Run Time
in hours:minutes;
Lo-Pressure
(monitor system leakage) in psi;
Hi-Pressure
(Monitor filter plug-up);
Lo-Flow
(high filter backpressure) in ml/min;
Filtrate Weight
in grams. (This alarm must be
enabled in order to obtain and display the
Filtrate Weight (FQ).)
The Lo-Pressure, Hi-Pressure and Lo-Flow alarms are related to the pressure source chosen in
SETUP: Press. Sensor, Source.
The Alarm condition is triggered when alarm limit is
exceeded.
Alarms are not mutually exclusive. You may select any combination of alarms.
