Restriction of Use

NEVER use the Zippette with:
• Liquids which are not compatible with PTFE, PVDF, FEP, Borosilicate glass, Alumina ceramic or might

Before Using the Zippette

Check that the instrument has not been damaged in transit.
Do not grip the electronic housing head (2) when carrying or adjusting the instrument.
The Zippette Digital is fitted with a non-rechargeable Lithium battery. The battery life is greater than
30,000 three minute sessions.
The Lithium battery should be disposed of correctly, on no account should it be incinerated.

Assembly

The Zippette is packed with the dispense nozzle attached and the inlet feed tube removed. The 300mm
length of PTFE inlet tube provided should be trimmed to fit your particular reservoir. The bottom end
should be cut diagonally at a length that is close to the bottom of the container when the Zippette is
assembled to the container. Longer lengths of inlet tube are available on request.
The threaded platform base of the Zippette has a 30mm screw thread for use with the recommended
Jencons Safety amber reservoir 1.4 litre with side filler neck (Cat. No. 262-086) or with the 2.5 litre
amber reservoir with side filler neck (Cat. No. 262-103). The assembled Zippette is screwed to the reser-
voir using gentle hand torque applied to the Zippette's threaded platform base only. Removal should also
be by means of hand torque applied to this same base.
Do not operate the piston until the unit is safely and fully mounted on the reservoir bottle!
Three adaptors are supplied to suit containers with a 38mm, 40mm or 45mm screw neck.
