Tip 1
Methadone container and cups
Setup:
A. Unpack all components, visually identify and inspect for damage.
B. At the Dispensing Window, place the Methadone container to the far left, the LabTec to the
right, and the Stand and Clamps furthest to the right.
C. Connect the LabTec to the PC using the USB cable (P/N 090-158) may be used. The driver
is found on the thumb drive as this manual for all except Windows 10 users. Windows 10 will
recognize this as a USB Serial Device automatically.
D. Plug in and power up the LabTec.
E. Remove the short piece of tubing installed in the pump for shipping, and retain it for use at
when sending the system in for maintenance, or for storage purposes.
F. Cut two pieces of the Tygon tubing. Make one long enough to go from the bottom of your
Methadone container to the input of the pump head, on the lower left. Insert the sinker in the
Methadone end of the tubing, and connect the other end to the head by loosening the
compression nut, inserting the tubing as far as it will go, and tightening the nut.
G. Cut the other piece long enough to go from the output of the pump head on the upper right
to the clamp at the dispensing location. Install one end in the pump head as before, and
insert a dispensing tip at the other end, and clamp it in place above the cup location.
H. The LabTec is ready for use with your Clinical Software. Use the software to Prime the
system, check for leaks, and check the Calibration.
