Set Up & Operation 

5.1.

 

Syringes 

The 

NE

MESYS XL module must only be used with those syringes that have been 

developed  especially  for  this  module;  other  syringes  may  not  withstand  the 

applied  forces  applied  by  the  pump  unit  during  operation.  This  may  cause 

damages to the syringes and the module or injuries to the operator(s). 

 

 

ATTENTION 

Use the 

NE

MESYS XL module only with one of the exclusive syringes 

especially developed for it by cetoni GmbH. 

 

EPDM is used as the default sealing material in 

NE

MESYS XL-compatible syringes. 

Additional  replacement  seals  plus  seals  made  from  FKM  and  NBR  are  supplied 

with every module. Other materials are available on request. 

 

 

CAUTION 

Please ensure that the material of the syringe seal is compatible to the 

medium to be actuated. If necessary or recommended, you should use a 

seal of another, compatible material. 

 

To  thoroughly  clean  the  syringes  or  to  change  the  seal,  the  XL  syringes  can  be 

disassembled. This procedure is explained in detail in section 5.1.3. 

5.1.1.

 

Syringe Configuration 

Before a syringe is used for the first time, you must tell the software about that 

particular  syringe.  Only  this  will  ensure  that  the  flow  rates  and  dosed  volumes 

shown  by the  software are  equivalent  to  the  actual  values,  respectively;  it  also 

prevents  mechanical  damages  due  to  wrong  stroke  distances.  The  correct
