3. Dispensing procedure
a) For safety reasons make sure that the discharge tube does not point at the user or
any other person. By using the built-in FIX adapter it is possible to fit the dispenser
accordingly. Remove stopper cap by holding the discharge tube tight with other hand.
b) Set the desired volume with the volume setting system.
c) Lift the dispensing piston up with the finger guard. Do not touch the piston itself
to avoid contact with chemicals. The piston stops at the volume set. The graduation
on the glass cylinder is an additional optical control of the volume set or air-bubbles.
d) To dispense the liquid push the piston down.
e) Avoid uneven piston movements or hard pushes against the stopper ring.
f) Replace stopper cap after the dispensing procedure by holding the discharge tube
tight with other hand.
Warning:
The piston must be pushed down manually. Therefore chemicals may remain in the
dispensing cylinder after dispensing. To avoid unintentional dispensing, always
dispense the total volume set. The stopper cap must be placed on the discharge tube
after every use. When dispensing observe safety precautions!
V. Operating Temperature
The operating temperature is from +15° C (+59° F) to +50° C (+122° F).
VI. Sterilization
The dispenser can be autoclaved at +121° C (+248° F) / 1 bar.
Before sterilization
loosen screw of the volume setting system.
The piston can remain in the cylinder when autoclaving.
Warning: Do not autoclave with higher temperatures. This will damage the dispenser.
Wait before use until the dispenser has room temperature.
VII. Transport and Storage
1.
When transporting the dispenser never carry on the finger guard but always on
the PP valve block to avoid unintentional dispensing of liquid! Replace the stopper
cap before transporting and fix the volume setting system at the zero-position.
2. Please transport and store the dispenser only in the original box to avoid damages.
Storage temperature: -10° C (+14° F) to +50° C (+122° F).
VIII. Maintenance and Cleaning
1. To guarantee a trouble-free function also for a long term it is necessary to clean the
dispenser regularly.
2. Do not leave the dispenser empty without having it cleaned before to avoid blocking of
the valve balls! If this happens all the same please put the dispenser for some hours in
cold water or clean it by using ultrasound. Once the piston can be moved again, dismantle
and remove any residual impurities by cleaning with a normal solution.
3. The dispenser can be left on the bottle all the time if the channel system is filled.
4. When changing the dispensing liquid the dispenser should be cleaned.
