Fusion Series User Manual
Caution
Flow rate is often set for the needs of the experiment; however, users should be aware that
setting high flow rates, especially for viscous fluids, may require high linear force beyond the
limits of the pump which may cause the pump to stall out. Additionally, high flow rates can
exert tremendous pressure within a syringe that may cause glass or plastic syringes to burst.
In the case of high-pressure experiments, users should consider using Chemyx Stainless-
Steel Syringes and the high-pressure Chemyx Nexus 6000 pump.
Start-Time Delay
The Delay field represents the amount of time (in minutes and seconds) to delay starting the
pump after pressing the Start button.
When entering this value with the numeric keypad, the decimal key is used to indicate the
separation between minutes and seconds. The first two values entered will be minutes unless a
zero is the first value or a decimal is entered, the occurrence of which causes the next values to
be in seconds.
Example
To set a delay of 1 min and 30 seconds, press the “1” key, then the decimal key, and finally
the “3” and “0” keys. To set a delay of 45 seconds, press the decimal key, then the “4” and “5”
keys.
To remove the delay, simply press the clear key (C) or set the time to zero.
