Figure 6-1. Block Diagram: Pumping in the RPM Mode
In the RPM Mode, you pump fluid at a certain motor speed, without setting the
amount of time you pump or the volume you dispense. The pump motor
measures the time of pumping and volume of fluid dispensed but ignores the
TIME and TOTAL VOLUME settings.
6.1.1 Pumping in the RPM Mode
To pump fluid in the RPM Mode, do the following:
1. Set up the pump motor for pumping, according to Chapter 3.
2. Toggle the ON/OFF switch to turn on the unit’s power. The display is in the
STOPPED Display Mode. Refer to Figure 6-1.
3. Either set the tube ID for the tube you are using (following Section 5.3) or
calibrate the tubing (following Section 5.5) before continuing.
4. Press the RPM key. The display flashes the current RPM setting (xxx rpm).
