4.9 Using the foot and benchtop switch
The optional foot switch or benchtop switch can be used for hands-free operation. There
are no specific setting needed, just connect one of the switches.
Depending on program mode and step, the switch can be used instead of the S
TART,
PAUSE or STOP key. However, the keys will still work, even if a switch is connected.
In D
ISPENSE mode, set the PAUSE parameter to manual. The first pedal/button pulse starts
the set number of doses, the next pulse will pause the process, and so on until the process
is completed.
In P
UMP mode, the pump starts with the first pedal/button pulse (=START). With the next
pulse it stops (=STOP) and so on.
4.10 Remote control by a PC
Remote operation can be performed by simulating the foot switch, e. g. with a PC and an
input/output interface box as described above for the foot switch.
