GENERAL
Programs may be designed and saved, or may be run immediately without saving. After the program is run, the user can
modify the program, try it again, and when satisfied, save it. A designed program that is not saved will be lost if power to
the dispenser is removed. After the program is saved, it may be run, modified, and saved under the same or another
number.
Settings for optional parameters such as acceleration ramping, deceleration ramping, and no-drip are usually
determined through trial and error. Acceleration and deceleration are programmed separately. Acceleration is the
amount of time in seconds it will take the pump to reach the programmed speed. A setting of 0.0 (zero) instructs the
pump to reach the programmed speed as quickly as possible. Deceleration is the amount of time in seconds it will take
the pump to slow to zero from the programmed speed. A setting of 0.0 (zero) instructs the pump to stop as quickly as
possible. Use acceleration/deceleration to minimize splash of dangerous materials or to improve accuracy when
dispensing viscous materials.
A no-drip value instructs the pump to reverse direction before stopping, preventing fluid in the tubing from dripping after
the pump has stopped. The best no-drip setting is dependent on tube size, rate, physical setup, and viscosity of the fluid
being pumped. No-drip can be set from 0 (zero) to 10, where 10 equals one pump revolution.
CREATE OR EDIT A PUMP PROGRAM
To create a new pump program, ensure that the console displays the PROGRAM MENU. If any other menu appears,
press the BACK key until the PROGRAM MENU is displayed.
Press the arrow under NEW to create a new program or press the arrow under EDIT to select a program to revise.
Follow the flowchart in Figure 7 to create or edit a pump program.
