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

Section 9 Modifier Addition<br />

7. MODIFIER ON will be displayed above softkey B, and %<br />

PUMP will be displayed above softkey C. To designate the<br />

desired modifier concentration, press softkey C. Then use<br />

the numeric keys to enter the desired percentage of modifier.<br />

Press the enter key to save the desired value.<br />

8. Open the outlet valves of both pumps if they are not open.<br />

9. Press the RUN key on the controller front panel keypad.<br />

10. When A pressure is established, the message “HOLD:<br />

PRESS RUN” will be displayed.<br />

11. Open the extractor inlet valves.<br />

12. The message “EQUILIBRATE” will be displayed on the<br />

controller screen. If the controller does not display<br />

“EQUILIBRATE,” press the RUN key. While this message<br />

is displayed, no modifier will be delivered.<br />

13. Immediately open the extractant outlet valve(s).<br />

Note<br />

Flow MUST be established through the system at or before the<br />

time “EQUILIBRATE” is displayed. To properly equilibrate the<br />

pumps, they must be delivering fluid.<br />

14. Once the message “Running” is displayed, modifier will be<br />

delivered at the selected rate.<br />

9.5 Refilling Once your modifier addition system is running, you will occasionally<br />

need to refill the pumps. The system must be stopped<br />

while the pumps are refilling. Pump A, the “CO 2 ” pump, may be<br />

refilled simply by designating the pump to be refilled and then<br />

pressing the REFILL key on the front panel (refer to instructions<br />

below). Pump B, “the modifier pump”, may also be refilled in this<br />

manner. However, if you wish to ensure that air is purged from<br />

pump B, it must be placed under independent control before<br />

refilling. Once under independent control, the pump will run<br />

until 5-10 ml of modifier are delivered back to the source (see<br />

refilling pump B below).<br />

To refill pump A (the CO 2<br />

pump)<br />

1. Press the STOP key.<br />

2. Close the outlet valves of both pumps.<br />

3. Press the REFILL key, and press softkey A to designate<br />

pump A.<br />

4. As soon as the pump pressure drops below the known tank<br />

pressure, open the tank supply valve and the pump A inlet<br />

valve.<br />

5. After pump A has refilled, the message “cylinder full” will<br />

be displayed on the controller front panel. Wait 15 seconds<br />

before closing the tank supply valve and the pump A inlet<br />

valve.<br />

6. Open the outlet valves of both pumps if they are not open.<br />

7. Press the RUN key on the controller front panel keypad.<br />
