1. Pump/stirrer speed control
2. Pump speed display
3. Power switch
4. Power and CAN connection
5. Dispersion unit connection
Pump/stirrer speed control
This control alters the speed of the stirrer / pump and thus the flow rate of sample/ dis-
persant through the cell.
Pump speed display
Indicates the speed of the pump stirrer in rpm.
Power switch
Press once to power on the unit, press again to power off.
Power and CAN connection
The CAN connection provides the power to operate the dispersion unit.
The CAN cable is connected from the CAN connection to one of the CAN connections on
the side of the optical unit.
Dispersion unit connection
The dispersion unit connection provides both the control signals and power to the dis-
persion unit from the dispersion unit controller.
