Trouble Shooting: 

Air Bubbles.

  If air is pulled into the flow sensor, the pump will behave erratically.  Always ensure there is 

sufficient aqueous solvent in the reservoir and that the inlet tube is submerged in liquid.  Furthermore, when 
using the pump with a negative flow rate value (in an aspirate mode), ensure that air is not pulled into the 
flow sensor.  Degassing of the fluid supply is recommended if bubble formation is an issue.  Once air bubbles 
are introduced in to the system, purging of the pump is recommended.  

 

Small bubbles will be trapped in the Dampener/Bubble Trap tube located below the flow sensor on the 

pump front face plate.  These apical regions serve as a bubble trap to limit the bubbles entering the flow 
sensor.  The small trapped bubbles should not affect the performance of the pump. 

 

All major air bubbles should be removed from the system using the purge process.  If desired, small trapped 
bubbles may be removed from the system by using a plug of air.  This can be accomplished by removing the 
inlet tube from the liquid source for just a few seconds before returning the inlet tube to the liquid source.  
This will generate a plug of air that will sweep out the small trapped bubbles in the system.

Trapping Tube

IMPORTANT:  

If the pump is acting erratically where the motor spins back and forth with quick jerky movements, 
there is most likely an air bubble in the flow sensor portion of the system.  To rid the system of air 
bubbles, first try purging the flow sensor, and if the pump still behaves erratically, perform the 
entire purge process.
