SAFETY

Please read this section carefully before installing and operating the equipment.

The instrument described in this Users Guide is a programmable piston pump that can give flow rate gradientsand can synchronize with other instruments using rear panel input and output connections. It should only beused in the laboratory or similar indoor environment, by qualified personnel. If the instrument is used in amanner not specified by Gilson, the protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.

For safe and correct use of the instrument, it is essential that both operating and service personnel followgenerally accepted safety procedures as well as the safety instructions given in this Users Guide.

Cleaning, installation, dismantling, maintenance, adjustment and repair should only be performed bypersonnel trained in such work, and who are aware of the possible dangers involved.

Voltages present inside the instrument are potentially dangerous. If there is a problem with the instrument, thepower cable should be removed until qualified service personnel have repaired it. This is to prevent anyone frominadvertently using the instrument, thus causing possible harm to themselves or damage to the instrumentitself.

The leakage current of this instrument is within the limits allowed by safety standards for laboratory equipment.An efficient ground connection is imperative for the physical protection of the user.

Ensure that the ventilation fan on the Piston Pump operates and is not obstructed when the instrument isinstalled.

Power supply cord reference 500005 is for use in France and Germany. Power supply cord reference 500006is for use in the USA and Canada. For other countries contact your local Gilson representative. You must onlyuse the type of fuse described and specified in this document: 2.0 Amp type T slow blow for use where thepower supply is between 100 V and 120 V, 1.0 Amp type T slow blow for use where the power supply isbetween 220 V and 240 V.

Adequate protection such as ventilation must be provided if dangerous liquids are used in the analytical work.If incidental spillage occurs, carefully clean-up the spillage, taking into account the nature of the spilled liquidincluding all required safety measures.

This instrument must not be sterilized, using an autoclave, or any other mechanical device. When you needto clean this instrument, use one of the three following methods:

1 - A clean dry cloth.2 - A cloth dampened with water.3 - A cloth dampened with soapy water.

If a cloth dampened with soapy water is used to clean the instrument, only domestic soap may be used. No otherform of detergent or chemical may be used.

MODEL 307 PISTON PUMP

INTRODUCTION 1

The Gilson 307 Piston Pump is designed to produce accurate and reproducible flow rates in the range0.025 to 5 ml/min. It can be programmed to give flow rate gradients and to synchronize with otherinstruments using the inputs and outputs.

USING THIS MANUAL

The 307 Piston Pump is a precision instrument which is simple and easy to use. To gain themaximum from the instrument, you should:

Read the description of the instrument in chapter 2. Install the instrument as shown in chapter 3. Follow the operating instructions given in chapter 4.

UNPACKING

The 307 Piston Pump is packed in a single carton. Upon receipt of your instrument, carefullyunpack the unit and inspect it for possible damage. Check the contents of the carton againstthe parts list to verify that all parts are included and undamaged. The parts list is given inAppendix A. Do this now, even if the unit will not be used immediately. Report any damageto the responsible carrier immediately. Read the description in chapter 2 to become familiarwith the instrument, its different parts and their names.

WARRANTY

If the instrument does not appear to function correctly, first verify the electrical connectionsare correct and that the instrument is switched ON. Contact your Gilson agent for technicaladvice or an eventual service visit. Any service required will be given within the warrantyconditions assured by your Gilson agent.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

Gilson and its worlwide network of authorized representatives provide you with four typesof assistance: sales, technical, applications and service.

The service personnel of Gilson's representatives are able to serve you more efficiently if youprovide the following information:

The serial number and model number of the equipment involved. Computer model (if used), available memory, microprocessor and operating software

version(s) in operation. The installation procedure you used. A concise list of the symptoms. A list of operating procedures and conditions you were using when the problem arose. A list of other devices connected to the system and a system diagram showing the connections. A list of other electrical connections in the room.

KEYPAD

Figure 2 shows the keypad with the numeric keys, the display and the soft keys.

1) Power on indicator

2) Display: two 24-character lines are used to displayparameters, commands and messages.

3) Softkeys: their functions are determined by thesoftware and may change from menu to menu. Thepresent functions are displayed above each softkey.

4) PRIME: the pump runs at its maximum flowrate untilyou press the STOP softkey.

5) HELP: displays advice and instructions at any time, withno effect on the operation of the pump.

6) CANCEL: cancels your last entry before it has beenstored in the memory.

7) ENTER: confirms a selection or parameter value andstores t in the memory.

8) Numeric keypad: this is used to key in values duringprogramming. The parameter being modified is alwaysunderlined with a flashing cursor.

INSTALLATION 3

This chapter describes how to install the 307 pump. It is recommended that you follow the installationinstructions in the order that they are presented in the manual.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The instrument requires two fuses to be installed. The type of fuses required are:2.0 Amp type T slow blow for 100 - 120 V, 1.0 Amp type T slow blow for 220 - 240 V.

For safety reasons, Piston Pumps are delivered without fuses installed. Fuses must be installedby the user upon delivery.

INSERTING THE FUSES

Ensure that the power cord is not connected before startingto install the fuses. Follow the procedure below to install thetwo fuses.

The voltage selector and fuse holder is located below thepower socket. See Figure 4. Pull the voltage selector out ofthe power receptacle. This is done by gently levering theselector out using a small screwdriver.

Pull out the drawer as shown in Figure 4. Insert the firstfuse into the clips.

Push the drawer back into position.

Pull out the drawer for the second fuse which is on theother sid
