6. For the RD-1: Slide the clear plastic cover over the pump head and tighten the knurled nuts to secure the tubing.
7. For the RD-2: Reinstall the tubing clamp and secure with the two thumbscrews so that the clamp holds the tubing in
place but does not pinch the tubing. Replace the clear plastic cover and the four knurled nuts.
Tubing life can be extended by periodically shutting down the pump and moving the tubing so that a different segment is
in the pump head, thereby avoiding excessive tubing wear at any specific point.
When using tubing links, the tubing in the link may bunch up at the output end over an extended period of use. Replace
the link, or gently pull on the output side of the tubing link to eliminate the bunch. Pulling the tubing too much will change
the flow rate and adversely affect accuracy.
POWER ON
After the control console and all the pump drives are properly connected and the drives are plugged into an AC source,
the system may be powered up. Refer to Figure 2, and place the POWER switch on one of the pump drives in the On (I)
position. The pump number appears on the LED display. The welcome screen appears on the control console.
Place the POWER switch on the remaining pump drives in the On (I) position.
If the system does not power up, place the POWER switch in the Off (O) position. Check that all interconnection wiring is
secure. Make sure that the voltage selection switch on the back of the pump drive(s) are set to the correct voltage.
Ensure that the pump drive(s) are plugged into a live, grounded AC source.
If the system powers up but the pump number 0 (zero) is displayed, the pump drive is not properly connected to the
control console. Place the POWER switch in the Off (O) position, check all the interconnections, and place the POWER
switch in the On (I) position.
INITIAL OPERATION
When power is first applied from any of the attached pumps, the control console displays the welcome screen:
After three seconds, the Program Menu appears:
The number displayed in the upper right corner represents the pump number currently being controlled. The first time
the dispenser is powered, #1 is displayed. Pressing PUMP# on the control keypad changes the pump number. When the
dispenser is shut down, it remembers the pump number last displayed, and that pump number appears the next time the
dispenser is powered. Figure 9 depicts the Main Menu and its functions.
From this menu, the user can create a new program, edit a program previously saved under a known number, load a
program previously saved, or link pumps. The first time the system is started, there are no saved programs, and
pressing any arrow key other than the one under NEW or LINK results in an error message. Refer to OPERATION for
instructions to create new programs, load programs, save programs, and link pumps.
