Calibration procedure
Make sure the tubing is full of water and has no bubbles before calibrating.
1.
Instruct the pump to dispense a volume of water.
2.
Measure the dispensed amount to determine how much water was actually dispensed.
3.
Calibrate the pump by sending it the volume of liquid you have measured.
1. Instruct the pump to dispense 10ml into a graduated cylinder or beaker on a scale.
2. Measure the amount of liquid that was actually dispensed.
3. Inform the pump how much liquid was actually dispensed.
4. Calibration is now complete.
Once the pump has been calibrated it will accurately dispense any volume of liquid. It has
not been calibrated specifically to the volume used during the calibration procedure
(10 ml). It has now been calibrated to all volumes.
Use the same procedure to perform a volume over time calibration.
Example
Calibrate the pump by dispensing 10ml
Calibration should be done with water and not a chemical
