External dispersant pump
Using the auxiliary connector on the rear of the dispersion unit an externally enabled
pump can be connected to control the flow of dispersant from an external source into the
tank via the upper dispersant inlet port.
Note: The External dispersant pump and external trigger control is only com-
patible with later versions of software, please contact Malvern Instruments for
details.
Malvern supplied peristaltic pump
Malvern supplies an external peristaltic pump that can be connected and plumbed into
the Hydro LV and Hydro MV dispersion units. The pump will be used in conjunction with
the software, and activated when a specific fill or clean routine is selected.
