FEATURES
The Model 100 series are simple, accurate cost effective syringe pumps designed to hold glass
or plastic syringes, of any make, from 10 microliter to 60 milliliter for the KDS100; 10 ul to 15 ml
for the KDS120; and 10 ul to 10 ml for the KDS101.
The models KDS100 and KDS101 are infusion only pumps. The flow rates of the KDS101 and
six times slower than that of the KDS100 and the units of flow rate are suitably adjusted.
The KDS120 is a push-pull infusion/simultaneous withdrawal pump.
Setup and pump operation for all the 100 series pumps are similar and extremely simple. A
menu, displayed on an alphanumeric LCD "prompts" the operator to make the necessary
selections using the keypad for choice of features and numerical entries.
The internal diameter of the syringe is used by the control program to calibrate the pump and
deliver the volume and flowrate selected. For simplicity the syringe diameter is also used to set
automatically the volume and flowrate units.
The syringe diameter can be entered directly or the syringe can be identified from a table of
syringes held in memory. When the syringe is selected from the table the diameter is entered
automatically.
Two dispense modes are available:
a) dispense volume mode in which the pump keeps track of the volume
dispensed and automatically stops the pump when a set target volume is
reached.
b) run mode where the pump runs at the set flowrate until manually
stopped.
In the event of a power interruption during operation, the pump can be programmed to either
resume operation or remain stopped when power is returned.
For convenience, all pump settings are stored in non-volatile memory to minimize the
number of setting changes required.
1) KEYPAD FUNCTIONS
åThis key has two functions:
a. Moves the display to the left
b. Causes the numerical entry to decrease. To change the displayed number by a
single unit press and release the key quickly. If the key is pressed longer the
number changes with increasing speed.
äThis key has two functions.

c. Enter numerical values.
run/stop
a. Turns the motor on and off.
b. Acts as a "pause" during a dispense.
2) DISPLAY
After the pump is programmed an arrow on the right side of the display indicates
the direction of operation. This arrow pulses when the pump is running.
3) OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SWITCH
The power switch is located at the right, rear corner of the pump. When the power is turned on
the LCD will display the Volume or Rate setting. Press the select key to return to the main
menu.
MAIN MENU
Pressing select repeatedly will always return the display to the main menu.
The main menu consists of five variables, three of which are displayed at all times. The center
variable pulses to indicate that this option can be reviewed or changed.
The menu acts as a continuous loop and the arrow keys, åäare used to move around the
loop. The variable to be changed can be selected with the select key.

SYRINGE DIAMETER ENTRY
For automatic internal calibration the syringe diameter must be entered. Once entered the
diameter is retained in non-volatile memory and need not be entered again unless the syringe
used is changed. When a syringe diameter is changed the Volume and Rate settings are set to
zero.
There are two methods of diameter entry.
a. Internal library
Select TABLE from the main line menu. The table of syringes is organized by
manufacturer, then by glass or plastic, and then by size. Use the arrow keys to scroll
through the table and the select key to enter the correct setting.
First, scroll through the manufacturers and select the manufacturer of the syringe used.
The menu will next display either syringe type or syringe size. Again, use the arrow
keys to move through the table until the correct size is displayed. Press the select key
when the correct syringe size is displayed. This automatically enters the internal syringe
diameter.
See Table 1 for the syringe library.
b. Direct entry
From the main menu select DIA. The display will read "xx.xx mm". Use the
arrow keys to display the measured internal diameter of the syringe in millimeters and
enter with the select key.
Changing the diameter clears the Volume and Rate settings, and the display will now
prompt for the new Volume setting.
VOLUME ENTRY
The Volume setting mode is selected from the main menu or is displayed
automatically after changing the diameter.
Display reads: xx.xx ul (Units ul or ml depend on syringe diameter entered)
1) Use the arrow keys to enter the dispense volume required.
2) When the correct dispense volume is displayed enter this number with the select
key.
note: If no target dispense volume is required enter volume = 0.0
The pump will run at the set flowrate until stopped manually or a stall occurs.
3) After setting a Volume the menu prompts for the flowrate setting.
When the pump runs the actual dispensed volume will be displayed and will
increment until the set volume is reached, at which time the pump will stop
automatically.
FLOWRATE ENTRY

7
RATE can be selected from the main menu or will be displayed automatically after the
Volume setting.
The display reads: Rate: X.X ul/h or X.X ml/h
Rate units are ul/h or ml/h, microliter or milliliter/hour and are selected automatically
from the syringe diameter.
1) Use the arrow keys to display the flowrate required.
2) Enter the rate with the select key.
3) If the rate entered is out of range, a message is displayed:
" Max Rate XX ml/h"
To continue enter a lower rate ,or select a larger syringe.
note: a. If a dispense volume was set then the display will now change to
"Volume : 0.0" ,that is, in automatic dispense mode.
When the pump runs the actual dispensed volume will be displayed and will
increment until the set volume is reached, at which time the pump will stop
automatically.
b. If no dispense volume is set the LCD displays the set flowrate and,
when running, the directional indicator arrow will pulse.
START THE PUMP
a. Press the run/stop key to start the pump. A second press will stop the pump.
b. If the pump is stopped during a dispense the volume accumulator is not cleared -the
dispense is paused. Restarting the pump with a second press of the run/stop key
continues the dispense to the target volume.
POWER FAILURE MODE
If there is a temporary power interruption, when no dispense volume is selected, the Power Up
run/stop option allows the pump to either resume the dispense when the power returns, or
remain stopped but display a message warning of the power failure.
1) Move the main menu to the right and select PWR UP.
2) The display will read Power Up Run ( or STOP ). Use the arrow keys to change display
and select the required option
Run After power is returned the pump resumes normal operation. The display flashes
PowerFailed to acknowledge a power interruption. Press Select to display the Rate.
STOP Pump does not run when power returns. The LCD displays the rate setting.
If a dispense volume is entered the power interruption stops the pump, clears the volume
accumulator and returns the volume to the setpoint. Only if the power failure setting is “run” will
the power failure warning be displayed.
CHANGE OR REVIEW VOLUME SETTING WHILE RUNNING
While the pump is running it is possible to look at the volume and flowrate settings without
interrupting the operation of the pump. If required the volume and flowrate settings can be

8
changed while the pump continues to run. When the changes are entered the pump immediately
changes to the new settings.
1) While operating press select to return to the main menu.
2) Select Volume to display the set dispense volume.
If no change is required press select
3) For a volume change use the arrow keys and enter with the select key.
4) The display moves to RATE, permitting a change if required.
Press select if no change is required.
or
Use the arrow keys to change the setting. The select key immmediately changes to the
new flowrate and the volume display continues to increment, uninterrupted to the new
dispense setting.
note: If the VOLUME is changed to a setting smaller than the volume already
accumulated then the pump stops when the new, smaller dispense volume is
selected.
CHANGE OR REVIEW RATE SETTING WHILE RUNNING
1) Press select to change the volume accumulator display to the main menu.
2) Select RATE.
3) Make rate changes if required and press select.
The pump immediately changes to the new flow rate and displays the continuing volume
accumulation uninterrupted by the change in flow rate.
FAST FORWARD
Press the run and the →keys simultaneously to actuate the fast forward mode. The pump
travels at its maximum rate while both keys are pressed simultaneously.

4) LOADING THE SYRINGE
KDS100 and KDS101
To facilitate loading , the pusher block (1) can be released from the leadscrew and manually
moved along the guide rods to accommodate the syringe.
Press the bronze button (2) on the side of the black pusher block (1) to release the block from
the leadscrew.
Raise the spring loaded retaining clamp (3) and rotate away from the syringe barrel.
Place the syringe barrel in the V of the syringe holder, making sure that the flange of the syringe
barrel is pressed against the side of the syringe holder.
Rotate and release the syringe clamp to hold the syringe in place.
Press in button (2) and move the pusher block back along the guide rods to make contact with
the syringe plunger.
GLASS SYRINGES
With some glass syringes the corners of the flange of the syringe barrel are rounded and can
cause a tendency for the syringe barrel to ride up out of the syringe holder.
To give a more secure, flatter surface to clamp against an O-ring or metal collar can be placed
over the barrel and pressed against the flange.

10
KDS120 Push-Pull pump
To facilitate loading , the pusher block can be released from the leadscrew by pressing the
bronze button (1) and can be manually moved along the guide rods to accommodate the
syringes.
First place the withdraw syringe in the withdraw syringe holder, using the spring loaded retaining
clamp to retain the syringe barrel in the V of the syringe holder.
Make sure the barrel flange is held firmly by the withdraw clamp and that the adjusting screws on
the withdraw clamp are firmly tightened.
While keeping the button (1) pressed firmly "in" slide the block along the guide rods so that the
syringe plunger flange can be retained by the clamp on the pusher block.
Tighten the locking screws on the adjusted syringe clamp .
Loosen the locking screw on the Adjustable syringe rest and position the rest so that the plunger
of the loaded syringe is pressed firmly against the pusher block and the syringe barrel flange is
pressed up to the syringe rest.
The barrel of the loaded , infusion syringe should be clamped in the V of the syringe holder with
the spring loaded clamp.
Tighten the screw on the syringe rest to lock the rest in place on the guide rod.
5) MANUAL STALL SETTING AND MICROLITER SYRINGES
A movable collar, located on the rear guide rod, can be set to restrict travel of the pusher block.
The block moves until stalling against the collar. Stalling does no permanent damage but may
result in increased wear on the drive mechanism and should not be used routinely but only as a
"fail safe" device.
Microliter syringes with fine wire plungers can be damaged if the plunger is forced into the end of
the syringe barrel; the collar can be adjusted to prevent this occurrence.

11
6) NV RAM FAILURE
If the settings in the non-volatile memory become corrupted the display will read "NV Ram
Failure" and the pump will not operate.
To recover from this condition the pump must be powered down and then turned on again. The
pump will be re-initialized to the default settings and can now be programmed as normal.
A second method of clearing the “NV Ram Failure” is to press select and then enter a changed
rate setting.
7) FUSES
The fuses are located, in the power entry module on the rear panel.
The linecord must be first removed to gain access to the fuse holder.
FUSE 5x20mm, 250V~ slow blow
US model 0.1AT slow blow
CE model 0.05AT slow blow
8) MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is required only for the moving mechanical parts which should be kept
clean and lubricated. Occasionally, a little light machine oil should be applied to the
guide rods and a little grease or oil to the leadscrew.
