D <strong>Series</strong> <strong>Syringe</strong> <strong>Pumps</strong><br />

Section 3 Single & Multiple Independent Pump Operation<br />

system pressurization. This can be done by selecting limit 5,<br />

FLOW LIMIT. The FLOW LIMIT value is used as the upper<br />

range of flow rate during pressure control. This limit is not the<br />

same as the MAX FLOW limit which is a threshold above when<br />

the pump is stopped, or an alarm is activated as selected by the<br />

operator.<br />

To exit<br />

1. To exit the limits menu, press softkey D, PREVIOUS. You<br />

will be returned to the main menu; and your changes will<br />

be saved.<br />

3.5.5 RAPID PRESS This option is available when operating in the constant flow<br />

mode and in the two-pump concentration gradient mode. It<br />

allows rapid pressurization to a stable pressure point and then<br />

switches automatically to the constant flow setpoint. This is<br />

helpful when you are operating at a low flow rate but wish to<br />

rapidly pressurize a solvent.<br />

1. Press the CONST FLOW key, to put the pump in constant<br />

flow mode or enter a two-pump concentration gradient.<br />

2. Press the RAPID PRESS key to start rapid pressurization.<br />

3. The controller will display maximum flow rate and target<br />

pressure setting. If these values are correct, press the softkey<br />

D to continue rapid pressurization.<br />

4. If you know approximately what the pressure will be when<br />

the system is stable, enter this value as a target pressure.<br />

Press the softkey A and enter the desired pressure value.<br />

This should shorten the time required to stabilize the system<br />

pressure.<br />

5. If you would like to limit the maximum flow rate during<br />

the rapid pressurization phase, press softkey B and enter<br />

the desired flow rate limit.<br />

6. Press the softkey D to continue rapid pressurization.<br />

Note<br />

This feature is automatic, i.e. the user does not enter a pressure<br />

and the RAPID PRESS key is pressed only once.<br />

3.5.6 HELP When the HELP key is pressed, information regarding the<br />

current operation of the pump will be displayed. If you are<br />

setting parameters, a short description about the parameters<br />

being prompted will be displayed, along with other helpful information.<br />

Because most pump programming is self-documented,<br />

the HELP messages are limited.<br />

3.5.7 ACC CTRL The ACC CONTROL key will allow you to manually operate<br />

accessories, such as valves, via the Digital Output terminals on<br />

the back of the controller.<br />

To set the digital output<br />

1. Press the blue ACC CTRL key. The accessory control menu<br />

will be displayed.<br />
