5.19.1 General help – calling a description of the modes
This describes the elementary steps for all modes. This option does not contain any
adjustable parameters.
5.19.2 Volume limit – setting the volume limit
This limits the aspiration volume in all dispensing modes.
Use the volume limit in the following cases:
• For strongly foaming solutions in order to prevent contamination of the tip cone or the
protection filter.
• For pipette tips or filter tips whose aspiration volume is smaller than the nominal
volume of the pipette.
• When using ep Dualfilter T.I.P.S. in the Ads, Dis and Pip (reverse pipetting) modes and
the Xplorer plus Rev. Pipetting mode. For these three versions, there is a risk of the
liquid coming into contact with the dualfilter because of the additional volumes during
aspiration.
Press the Help softkey to display information on the selected option.
After a volume limit has been set, a note will be shown on the display when the
Pip, P/M and Man operating modes are edited and when the volume limit has
been reached. In this mode, too large dispensing volumes will be automatically
reduced to the defined volume limit. The number of potential dispensing steps
will be automatically limited in the Dis and Ads modes.
If the corresponding volume is above the defined volume limit, saved
dispensings can no longer be executed under History and under the Spc, Prg
and Fix modes. The volume can be changed in the corresponding mode or the
Edit mode.
