7.1. Dosing pump
The cleaning program is used for the rinsing of the micro dosing pumps and the inlet tubes. Be aware
that air in the inlet tube could tamper the results. Therefor, make sure you check the Inlet tubes
regularly for air bubbles.
It is necessary to clean this component in any of the following situations:
- if the titration liquid is changed
- if there is air in the inlet tubing
- if the equipment is used for the first time
- if the instrument has not been used for some time
In all cases, about 10 ml of titration liquid is sufficient.
1. Press key "Dosing Pump":
- Enter the amount of titration liquid through the numerical keypad. The cleaning process is star-
ted by pressing "Enter". The dosing pump is supposed to transport 0.05 ml per rotation. Small
deviations are possible but they are compensated for by an internal calibration unit. At the end
of the process, the actual amount of liquid used is displayed.
2. By pressing "Enter" you get back to the main menu.
If there are still air bubbles in the inlet tube after the rinsing process, then you should check whether
the tube connections at the micro dosing pump and the titration tank are attached correctly. Then,
repeat the rinsing!
