The Verderflex Vantage 5000 is a peristaltic cased tube pump designed for precise and reliable fluid transfer, particularly in applications requiring accurate dosing and handling of sensitive or abrasive fluids. This document outlines the software upgrade process, as well as key operational and maintenance features.

Function Description:

The Vantage 5000 operates on the peristaltic pumping principle, where fluid is contained within a tube and moved by rollers compressing the tube against a track. This design ensures that the fluid never comes into contact with any mechanical parts of the pump, making it ideal for sterile, corrosive, or shear-sensitive fluids. The pump is equipped with a touchscreen interface for easy control and monitoring of various parameters, including flow rate, dose, and batch operations. It supports different tube materials and sizes, allowing for versatility across a wide range of applications. The pump's software enables job file management, system settings configuration, and diagnostic functions.

Important Technical Specifications:

The software version for the Vantage 5000 is 1.1v-09/2019, as indicated by the "Software Upgrade" document. The pump's interface displays real-time information such as date, time, software version (e.g., 1.0.5), language settings (e.g., English (UK)), touch screen calibration status, brightness, and page timeout period. It also shows the tube size (e.g., 1.6 x 1.6 LP), product specific gravity (e.g., 1.00), and flow rate (e.g., 150.00 ml/min). The pump's serial number is also displayed (e.g., S/N:1234567890123456789012345). The system is designed to handle job files and settings, which can be backed up and restored using a USB drive. The USB drive must be formatted to FAT32 for software updates and file transfers. The firmware file for updates must be named 'Jupiter.bin' (with a capital 'J').

Usage Features:

The Vantage 5000 offers a user-friendly experience through its touchscreen interface.

Job File Management: Users can create, save, and recall job files, which store specific pumping parameters for different applications. This feature streamlines operations by allowing quick setup for recurring tasks.
Operational Modes: The pump supports various operational modes, including "Flow," "Dose," and "Batch," catering to different fluid transfer requirements.
Settings Configuration: The settings menu allows users to adjust language, screen brightness, page timeout period, and perform system backups and restores.
Software Upgrade Process: The pump's software can be upgraded via a USB drive. The process involves backing up existing job files/settings, formatting the USB drive to FAT32, copying the 'Jupiter.bin' firmware file, and then initiating the update through a specific power-on sequence while holding the red stop button. The pump's red LED will flash during the update and turn solid red upon completion, eventually switching to green when ready for normal operation.
Screen Calibration: The touchscreen can be calibrated to ensure accurate touch response. Calibration is prompted after a software update or system reset. The process involves touching specific points on the screen as instructed.
System Reset: A system reset can be performed to clear all existing information on the pump. This is initiated by holding both the red stop and green start buttons while switching the pump on, and then confirming the reset on the screen. A system reset will also trigger screen calibration.

Maintenance Features:

Backup and Restore: A crucial maintenance feature is the ability to back up job files and system settings to a USB drive. This is strongly recommended before any software upgrade or system reset to prevent data loss. The backup process is accessed through the settings menu and allows users to save pump configurations to both the SD memory card and USB port. If files already exist, the system prompts the user to confirm overwriting. Similarly, job files and settings can be restored from a USB drive, with prompts to confirm overwriting current settings or jobs.
USB Drive Management: For software updates and file transfers, the USB drive must be formatted to FAT32. The manual provides detailed instructions on how to check the format and reformat the USB drive using a Windows PC. It emphasizes the importance of naming the firmware file correctly ('Jupiter.bin') and safely removing the USB stick from the computer.
Troubleshooting: The manual highlights potential issues, such as losing job files during an upgrade (hence the backup recommendation) and unresponsive touch commands due to incorrect screen calibration. It provides steps to reset screen calibration if needed, which involves a system reset followed by recalibration.
Warnings and Cautions: The document includes important warnings, such as "Formatting will destroy all data!" when reformatting a USB drive, and "Do not press the stop button for longer than 5 seconds when updating software as this may lead to problems with the USB software." These cautions are vital for safe and effective pump maintenance.
