Volume calibration
5.5.1.
General
There are two ways to calibrate the volume delivered by the ARGUS707 volumet-
ric pump, select one:
•
By entering the correction factor
•
With the internal calibration program of the pump
Needed equipment:
- balance with a resolution of 0,1g at least
5.5.2.
Volume calibration by entering the correction factor
1. Insert a new IV-set (only recommended IV-sets may be used, see appendix in
the user manual) in the pump and perform a “warm up” infusion of 10 ml at an
infusion rate of 999.9 m/h!
2. Infuse now a volume of 15 ml of water in a measuring cup on a zeroed balance
at an infusion rate of 250 ml/h.
3. Determine the weight of the delivered water.
4. Enter the configuration mode as described in chapter 2.3.
5. Go to address #319 and read the present correction factor.
6. Calculate the new correction factor as follows:

e.g.:

7. Enter the new correction factor at address #319 (e.g. 1013) in the right hand
display and save it by pressing key “START”; then switch the pump off.
8. Perform a control measurement according to the steps 2 & 3 above. Repeat the
calibration procedure if necessary.
