Running a Recipe
Each pump may have a setting for the dose volume (mL) and the flow rate of the pump (mL/min).
To create a batch recipe:
1. Set the flow rate for each pump. Most applications will use the pumps at full speed. The speed may be
reduced if required for your application.
2. Set the volume that each pump should dose.
3. Save the recipe if desired by selecting: File > Save. Choose a location and name the file then press “Save.”
Saved recipies may be recalled by selecting: File > Open and choosing a recipe file.
Run a Batch
Once the recipe is configured, it may be “run” by pressing the green “play” button. The pumps will begin dos-
ing with the first pump. Once the specified volume is completed, the next pump will begin. When all pumps
have metered the volume in the recipe, the batch is complete.
Stop Pumps
All pumps may be stopped immediately by pressing the red “stop” button.
Prime
Each pump may be primed for 10 seconds automatically by pressing the “Prime” button for the respective
pump. The pump will operate at the speed selected allowing the speed to be previewed or tested.
