button. The cursor then goes to the next line (SPEED).
Pump speed
The speed is measured in RPM (Rotation Per Minute), that is to say, rotations per minute. The pump
speed and inner diameter of the tubing condition the flow. (The flow also depends upon the viscosity of
the liquid.)
To change the speed, select the line “SPEED” and press on the rotating button.
Then by turning the button, change the number and validate by pressing the button.
Another method, to change the speed in a experimental mode :
Launch the program (see chapter 3.7.4 Use a program). When the pump is working, the speed is
displayed on-screen and you can modify with the rotating button. The last chosen figure is memorized in
the program.
Inner diameter of the tubing
You have to enter and memorize this information for each program. It will then be useful to calibrate the
pump.
To change this figure, select the line “TUBE” and press the rotating button.
Then by turning the button, change the figure and validate by pressing the button.
Note : after having changed the figure of the tubing’s diameter, it is recommended to make a calibration.
(Cf. chapter 3.7.3 Calibration).
Power of the pump motor
You can choose the maximum power, economy (minimum) or automatic mode. In the automatic mode,
the power of the pump is settled according to the speed and diameter of the tubing.
Volume of a dose
If you have chosen the mode dose OR multi-dose, enter here the volume in mL.
Number of doses
In the multi-dose mode, the FlexiPump
®
dispenses several doses consecutively making a pause in
between each one.
If you choose the multi-doses mode, select the line “DOSES” and the number of doses to dispense.
Delay between each dose
If you choose the multi-doses mode, select the line “D ELAY” and enter the number of doses to
deliver.
