Priming or Purging the Pump
If there is not fluid all the way through the tubing or if it is the first dispense of the day, the pump should be primed. If
there is unwanted fluid in the tubing, it can be removed by purging the pump. In order to prime or purge the pump, a
program must be loaded or just saved. The following display appears when a program is loaded or just saved:
1. Press the arrow key under PRIME and the following display appears:
2. To prime the pump, press the arrow key under PRIME. The pump runs in the direction (clockwise or
counterclockwise) of the program. The display updates to show the progress of the pump action. Press CANCEL/
STOP when the tubing is primed with fluid.
3. To purge the pump, press the arrow key under PURGE. The pump runs in the opposite direction (clockwise or
counterclockwise) of the program. Press CANCEL/STOP when the tubing is purged of fluid.
4. Press ENTER to continue.
Performing a Calibration
You must prime the pump to purge the air from the tubing before calibrating, dispensing, or diluting. Air in the tubing will
also cause an inaccurate volume display while a pump program is run.
NOTES: If the pump has never been calibrated, the default range for the selected tubing size is displayed. If the pump
has been calibrated, the valid range for the tubing size is calculated based on the results of the calibration.
The dispensing system stores the calibration for each tubing size in each pump number (1–4).
Before continuing, ensure that the tubing is properly loaded and the pump is primed.
The DIGI-STALTIC can be calibrated anytime a program is loaded. After creating a new program or loading a previously
created program, the following display appears:
1. Press the arrow key under CALIBRATE. The following display appears:
NOTE: CLEAR CAL appears only if the tube was previously calibrated. Press the arrow key under CLEAR CAL to
delete a calibration and restore the factory calibration.
2. Press the arrow key under VOLUME, and enter the amount you want the pump to dispense for calibration. Press the
arrow key under RUN CAL to start pumping action. The following display shows the dispense interactively:
3. When the pump stops, the following display appears:
4. Measure the actual volume that the pump dispensed. If the actual volume and displayed volume are the same, press
CANCEL. If the amounts are different, press the arrow key under VOL and enter the actual volume. Press ENTER to
continue.
After performing step 4, you may want to run the entire procedure again to confirm the calibration.
After the calibration is completed, the actual flow rates for the selected tubing size for the pump are calculated. The
calculated rates are displayed when creating or modifying a program.
