The on-screen menu are hierarchical: the user can, when choosing an option in the menu, go to another
menu, called sub-menu. For example, the option “MODIFY PROGS“ of the main menu leads to the
following sub-menu:
At any time the “esc.” button makes the user quit the on-screen menu and to get back to the main menu
or the top menu.
3.5 Concept of program
FlexiPump
®
is a programmable equipment.
The user can choose his preferred programs and memorize them.
Each preferred user mode, (for example 9 mL in mono dose at a 3 mL/s flow) is then called a program.
The user can then enter other programs and name them so they can easily distinguish them.
FlexiPump
®
is delivered pre-programed with the following programs:
• 9 ml tube: distribution of 9 mL doses
• 18ml dish: distribution of 18 mL doses
• 9ml Multi: multiples 9 mL doses
• Continuous: continuous and fixed flow
3.5.1 Programs and tubings
FlexiPump
®
can be equipped with tubes with various diameters. If you have several tubes and wish to
change it according to your application: either specific flow or viscosity.
Please keep in mind that a program is made to function with a pre-determined diameter tubing. The flow
distributed by the pump depends on the tubing's diameter and its speed fixed by the program.
Advice for the choice of a tubing
During the liquid flow the inner diameter of the tubing is important to get a good precision. The more the
tubing has a bigger diameter, the more the flow (milliliters per minute) and less it will be adapted for
dispensing of little volumes.
On the side of the FlexiPump
®
are engraved 2 diagrams for FlexiPump
®
and FlexiPump
®
Pro. They show
the precision that you can get according to your volume and the inner diameter of the tubing.
