DISPOSING OF THE ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS
In accordance with art. 13 of Law Decree no. 151 of 25 July 2005, “Implementation of
the Directives 2002/95/CE, 2002/96/CE and 2003/108/CE, concerning the
reduction of the use of dangerous substances in electrical and electronic equi-
pment and waste disposal ”
The symbol of the crossed waste bin on the equipment means that at the end of the
equipment’s useful life it must be collected separately from other waste.
To this end, the user shall take the equipment, at the end of its life, to a centre that col-
lects electronic and electrotechnical equipment for recycling or hand it over to the retailer
when he buys a new similar piece of equipment, at the rate of one to one.
Collecting equipment that is no longer used, so that it can be recycled, treated and dispo-
sed of in an environment-friendly manner, all helps avoid any and all possible negative
impact on the environment and on people’s health and also contributes to recycling the
materials it is made of.
If the user disposes of the product improperly, he is liable to pay an administrative ne
in accordance with Law Decree no. 22/1997 (art. 50 and subsequent articles of Law
Decree no. 22/1997).

- Weekly -It lets you dose the quantity of product
wanted (expressed in millilitres) within a settable pe-
riod of time (period) and at the hour set and only for
the days of the week set (Date and Time).
Example 3
The example in Fig.11 shows pump programming al-
lowing to dose 50 ml of Iodine at 14:55 and repeated
every day of the week.
- Calibration - it lets you calibrate each single pump
so as to achieve a dosage that is as accurate as
possible.
The pump calibration procedure is the following:
1) Take the graduated container supplied.
2) By means of the button related to the pump you
wish to calibrate, make sure the pipes are full of liquid
and completely free of air.
3) Access the calibration screen page of the pump
wanted.
4) Set the amount of liquid for pump calibration: The
menu automatically displays as default a calibration
quantity of 40 ml; you can change this quantity if you
want a different one (see g. 12).
Note: For accurate pump calibration, we suggest
using as much liquid as possible (40-50 ml) to
minimise any parallax errors or if the push but-
ton is not pressed properly.
5) Press the push button on the pump (more than
once if necessary), until the graduated container is
lled with the preset amount of liquid.
6) Now press Enter on the controller.
The pump is now calibrated and ready for program-
ming to suit your needs.
