5.3.5.5 Pressure Sensor Calibration Procedure
1. Move the plunger driver to approximately 1/3 the distance from
the bottom end of its travel (barrel clamp end).
2. Ensure that the pole clamp is on the pump and mount the pump
upside down on the IV pole.
3. Press CONFIRM and observe that CAL PRESSENS appears
on the display.
4. Press the

key to select
Y.
Do not select N as this will
cause the pump to skip the Pressure Sensor Calibration
sequence.
5. Ensure that the plunger driver is still at 1/3 distance from the
barrel clamp and install the load yoke (CAS4001802) in the
plunger driver.
6. Attach the chain or monofilament line to the hook on the load
yoke. Ensure that the plunger driver is pushed in towards the
pump and the load yoke is fully captured by the driver. Gently
attach the 10 lb. load to the bottom of the chain or monofilament line.
7. Ensure that the weight is not spinning or swinging before proceeding to the next step.
8. Press CONFIRM and observe that the prompt, VERIFY 10.00 LB appears on the
display.
9. Calibrate Gain (10.00 lbs)
9.1 Press CONFIRM and observe the 10.00 LB prompt at the bottom of the display as the
motor begins to run. Approximately 5 seconds later, the pump displays the A/D
reading which remains displayed as the motor continues running for approximately
another 10 - 15 seconds. When the motor stops, VERIFY 0.00 LB appears at the
bottom of the display.
9.2 Remove the 10 Lb. load but leave the load yoke in the plunger driver.
NOTE
During the remainder of the PRESSENS calibration sequence, the
pump’s motor will activate and make two more sequential runs when
CONFIRM is pressed. The 1st run will last approximately 15 - 20
seconds and the 2nd run will start immediately after the 1st run has
completed. During the 1st run, A ZERO LB A/D number will appear on
the display and then disappear once that run has completed. Because
