Pumping Operation
Pumping Operation
Battery Backed RAM
The delivery and recordkeeping parameters for the pump are stored in a battery-backed random access
memory (RAM). Battery backup is provided by a lithium manganese dioxide rechargeable battery. This
battery is designed to provide a minimum of 10 months of backup power to the memory when the pump
is turned off. It takes a maximum of 250 hours with the pump turned on to fully charge a completely
discharged backup battery.
Note:
The backup battery charges during normal operational use and does not require 250 hours of
charging before use.
The internal rechargeable battery is designed to last for 10 years and provide a minimum of 10 full charge
and discharge cycles. The shallower the battery discharge, the longer the battery will last.
LCD Circuitry
The LCD circuit contains a power supply that provides bias voltage to the LCD panel. To conserve battery
power, the microprocessor disables the LCD drive circuitry when not in use.
An LED backlight is necessary to enable LCD viewing. When the microprocessor enables the LCD, it also
enables the LED backlight. A low brightness setting can be used to conserve battery power. Raising the
brightness setting of the display makes the display more vibrant at the cost of decreasing pump battery life.
The backlight is shut off by the microprocessor when the LCD is turned off.
The LCD backlight flashes for 12 ms during each motor operation.
LED Status Indicators
An amber and a green light emitting diode (LED) on the front panel of the pump provide pump status
to the user. Under software control, the LEDs can either flash at a low duty cycle or be on continuously.
A flashing indicator typically indicates a normal mode of operation and a steady “on” indicator typically
indicates a fault condition.
Audible Alarm Circuitry
The audible alarm circuitry is backed up by a capacitor. The capacitor provides energy for the alarm if all
power is lost while the pump is in the RUN mode. There is enough energy in the capacitor to drive the
audible alarm for 2 minutes after the pump has been powered up for 4 minutes or longer.
Power Circuitry
Power for the pump is normally supplied by 4 AA alkaline batteries, the rechargeable battery pack, or
the AC adapter. Alkaline AA batteries have a fairly low internal resistance over their discharge range,
which keeps power supply noise low. Other types of batteries, such as carbon-zinc, exhibit high internal
resistance, especially near depletion. A voltage drop across the internal resistance occurs when current is
drawn by the motor during pump activations. This current is demanded in short pulses when the motor
is first turned on, and generates large spikes in the battery voltage. This noise can cause the low battery
detection circuit to shut down the pump.
