QUICK GUIDE
Setting the Volume
The volume of liquid to be aspirated is
set using the volumeter. The dials are
colored either black or red to indicate the
position of the decimal point, depending
on the model (refer to Figure 3).
The volume is set by turning the
thumbwheel or the push button. The push
button makes it easier and faster to set
volumes, especially when wearing gloves.
The thumbwheel may be turned to slowly
reach the required setting.
To achieve maximum accuracy when
setting the volume:
●
When
decreasing
the volume setting, slowly reach the
required setting, making sure to not pass the setting.
●
When
increasing
the volume setting, pass the
required value by 1/3 of a turn and then slowly
decrease to reach the volume, making sure to not
pass the setting.

Fitting the Tips
To fit a new PIPETMAN DIAMOND Tip, push the tip holder
into the tip using a slight twisting motion to ensure a firm
and airtight seal.
NOTE
For the P2 and P10 models, a dual-position
adapter (plastic) is required to fit DL10 tips
(long tips) or D10 tips (short tips). The metallic
rod of the tip ejector is shaped so that the
adapter may be clipped to it in either position.
P2 and P10 models are delivered with the
adapter in place ready to use Dl10 tips.
When D10 tips are used, the adapter must be
repositioned in the shorter slot as follows:
1.
Pull the adapter down from the metallic rod.
2. Turn the adapter 180°.
3. Refit the adapter so the end of the
metallic rod engages the shorter slot of
the adapter.
