3 First steps
3.1 Principles of use
FlexiPump
®
has 3 dispensing modes: continuous, dose and multi-dose.
Continuous mode:
In this mode, the user controls (by hand or by foot) the starting and stopping moments of the pump. The
pump speed controlling the flow, is initially programmed by the user.
Dose mode:
In this mode, the user controls (by hand or by foot) the starting moment of the pump. The pump
immediately stops when the programmed volume is dispensed. The pump speed and the volume to
distribute are initially programmed by the user.
Multiple-dose mode:
In this mode, the user controls (by hand or by foot) the starting moment of the pump for the first dose.
The pump automatically stops when the programmed volume is dispensed. Then it automatically
dispenses again after a programmed delay. The speed of the pump, the volume to dispense, the number
of doses and the delays in-between are programmed initially by the user.
3.2 Principle of operations
FlexiPump
®
is a peristaltic pump controlled by a microprocessor.
When a dispensing is programmed, the microprocessor controls the pump in movement and stopps it
when the pump has done the asked number of rotations.
A calibration operation is necessary to settle and memorize the number of necessary rotations.
3.3 Display and control buttons
The general use of FlexiPump
®
is easy. The front panel is composed of a screen, a rotating button and a
few other buttons.
