Preface
Thank you for choosing our products!
This Quickstart Guide should help you to start implementing your project as quickly as possible by
showing you the initial installation of an exemplary device setup with two Low Pressure Syringe Pumps
neMESYS 290N.
Nevertheless, please take the time to study our hardware and software manuals. They contain all safety
instructions as well as detailed information for the use of the CETONI products. For a first overview
about the basic functions with our pump system we recommend to review chapter 4, 5 and 7 in our
QmixElements software manual. For further detailed instructions or technical information you can
download diverse manuals and technical data sheets from our website www.cetoni.com.
In addition, our application specialists are of course available for your questions and assistance.

Installation
Step 1: Creating a device configuration
1. Install the QmixElements software on the supplied CD on your PC.
(Please review chapter 3 in the QmixElements software manual for the system requirements and installation process.)
2. Please connect the base module with your control unit (PC). Use the supplied USB-cable and
power-cable for this.
3. Start the software and click on “Create Configuration”.
4. Create a new device configuration setup like the physical device setup with the “Device Wizard”
by “drag & drop”.Please note, adding the base module to your configuration is not necessary,
that's why you won't find it within the device list (except you own a "starter module" with
integrated pump).
5. Save this configuration and go on further by clicking on “Configure”.
Please do not plug all modules of your setup together from the beginning as it needs to
be a step by step procedure. The software carefully guides you through the configuration
process of each single module on your screen.

Step 2: Configuring single modules
1. Please first connect only one module with the base module and follow the instructions displayed
on the screen step by step.
2. After the successful configuration, disconnect the first module.
3. Follow the instructions displayed on the screen as before.
4. Repeat the same steps for the second pump module.
For an easier mechanical handling you can use the interconnect cable for creating
connectivity between the base module and pump module.
Each time plug in only one single module to the base module and configure it solely in
the software.

Step 3: Plugging hardware modules together
and connecting with software
1. After the successful software device configuration of all modules, you can connect the physical
devices all together to one whole setup now.
2. After restarting the software you can finally create a connectivity with the physical devices by
clicking on the “plug”-symbol in the left upper corner on the graphic user interface.
3. Now the syringe pumps are ready for use.
In the graphic user interface of the software the pump modules will be shown from left to
right in the chronological order during the first hardware configuration. You can also rename
the pumps individually in the interface (left-click into the pump name and re-writing any
other name).

Further functional software settings
If your device consists of an external I/O-interface, you can assign e.g. a pressure sensor.
By right-clicking on the “AnalogIN 1”icon (label „neMESYS Low Pressure 1 AnalogIN 1”) you can
transform the channel into the adequate sensor property.
(Please review chapter 8 QmixElements software manual for more details.)
After converting the AnalogIN channel into the adequate device property (here: pressure) you can
assign the pressure sensor from the I/O channel column per drag & drop to the pump module.
By right-clicking on the pressure-value-symbol below the valve you can activate the pressure-
monitoring-function, which is recommended to avoid undesired harmful pressure peaks into the system.
(Please review chapter 7 of the QmixElements software manual for more details.)

Also by right-clicking to the valve-symbol you can configure an automated switching modus for the valve.
(Please review chapter 7 of the QmixElements software manual and chapter 5 of the neMESYS 290N hardware manual for more details.)
By moving with the mouse cursor over diverse icons, an explaining-window pops up‚ by
right-clicking on the symbols different functional options are displayed.
