TUBE CALIBRATION

dispensing of fluids. Tube calibration can be accessed from the Continuous Mode Run screen or from either
of the Volume or Time Mode Edit screens.

General Preparation:
• Confirm the correct tubing has been selected and is properly loaded into the pump drive (for further
• Confirm all fluids and containers are ready.
To calibrate tubing:
1. Insert the tube inlet into the supply fluid.
2. Insert the tube outlet into a suitable container.
NOTE:
The container should be graduated or placed on
a scale for increased accuracy. If using a scale, an acceptable weight to volume conversion for water is: 1
gram = 1 mL.
3. Switch the drive on using the power switch located at the rear of the drive.
4. Navigate to the Continuous, Time or Volume Mode screens.
5. Tap DIRECTION to select either clockwise
or counterclockwise

recommended to properly condition new tubing and to increase calibration accuracy.
NOTE:
If required,
the pump can be run dry while conditioning the tube.
