Section 2 - INTRODUCTION
2.1. INTRODUCTION
The Univentor 864 Syringe Pump is designed to be precise and reliable and offers a wide
range of possibilities.
Flow rates are constant and pulse free from as low as 0.001 µl/min up to 5 ml/min and any
syringe within the clamping range of the chosen syringe holders may be used.
Should you have syringe holders for a total of 4 syringes of up to 50 ml, the Univentor
WithdrawalAdaptor can be fitted to enable withdrawals as well as simultaneous infusions
and withdrawals. With the Univentor Operational Software, the Syringe Pump can be
programmed to start, stop, wait, change flow rate and to start or stop external instruments
such as the Univentor Microsampler or valves.
A built-in computer makes the unit self-calibrating and takes care of all the calculations
required to control flow rates and delivered volumes for different sizes and types of
syringes.
For your convenience, the setting for the most common syringes are pre-programmed and
readily available. You must, however, at all times set the limit switch to protect the syringes
and the pump.
Operation requirements are abbreviated on the control panel, however, we recommend
that you read this user’s manual before starting the instrument.

Section 3 - GENERAL
3.1. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
Remove the instrument from the shipping container and inspect both the instrument and
the package for any signs of damage. If any damage is noted, contact the freight handler
immediately, see section 1.2.
Missing Items?
Carefully check the packing list against the contents of the shipping package. If anything
appears to be missing, check the packing material very carefully for any overlooked items.
If any items are missing, contact your Univentor representative immediately.
3.2. POWER SUPPLY
MAINS - Use an earthed wall plug and the adapter 2401100 supplied with the 864 Syringe
Pump. The adapter can automatically handle input voltage in the range from 100 VAC to
240 VAC 50 to 60 Hz.The mains cable has an ON/OFF switch and a permanently fixed
mains plug.
BATTERY - 12 V. Consumption: 400 mA.
3.3. CONTROL PANEL
The following functions, together with brief instructions, are located on the panel of the
Univentor 864 Syringe Pump. (See Figure 4.1)
TEXT FUNCTION
Fast feed Switch for forward/reverse fast feed. The carriage moves to the desired
position quickly.
Set Press the right hand arrow to move the cursor for different settings. Press
the up and down arrow to change the value where the cursor is.
Syringe Stroke mm: Set the length of the stroke in mm. By pressing the up arrow,
passing 90 mm, you can choose from the programmed syringes.
Volume: If you have chosen a programmed syringe the volume is set.
If not, set the volume of the syringe in use.
Units Select either µl/min or ml/hour as units for the flow rate.
Flow rate The flow rate in µl/min or ml/hour.
Preset Is used when a fixed volume should be delivered. When this function is
used the pump will deliver the preset volume and then stop. The volume
is displayed in the same units as used for the syringe volume.
Delivered The volume delivered is continuously displayed in the same units as the
syringe volume.
Reset To reset the volume.
Start/Stop Start/stop button.

4.1. INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect the instrument to the mains using the AC adapter and switch it on.
2. Insert the syringes. Set the limit switch by turning the limit switch dial until the pointer
is in the required stopping position.
3. Set the pusher to the start position by pressing the arrow buttons Fast feed on the
control panel. For continuous movement of the pusher hold the required button down
for a few seconds. Press the opposite button to stop the movement or the pusher will
stop automatically when it reaches the rear end position or the front limit switch.
4. By using the Set arrows you move the cursor in the display window. Up, down or to
the next setting.
5. Set the desired syringe or mm
length of the syringe stroke. The
most common syringes are
programmed and will be shown
after passing 90 mm in stroke
length. Press Set to scroll
through the syringe menu. Press
Set to enter the required setting.
If not using a programmed
syringe set the stroke length in
mm and the volume.
6. Move to Units by pressing Set . Select µl/min or ml/hour by pressing Set .
7. Press Set to move to Flow rate. Set the flow rate. Refer to Section 6.
8. Press Set to move to Preset volume. The volume to be injected is set by up/down
arrows. The injected volume is shown on the display window continuously. The pump
stops when it has reached the preset volume. The units will be the same as the syringe
volume. For continuous injection leave the preset volume in the -SET- mode.
9. Press Start/Stop button to start the pump. Present action indicates the mode of the
pump. The pusher moves forward forcing the plunger into the syringe at the preset flow
rate. The delivered volume is continuously displayed in the window. For repeated
injection press Reset and restart by pressing Start/stop button. This can be
repeated until the entire syringe contents have been utilised.

Section 4 - OPERATION

10. OOR appears on the display to indicate that certain combinations of syringe size and
flow rate are Out Of Range for the pump. E.g. 1000 ml/min with a 1.0 ml syringe. The
pump will reject faulty values and OOR will be displayed until a different combination
of syringe size or rate that is within the range is set.
11. SPIN - ERR appears on the display if the force of the pusher exceeds 200 N.
12. SELFTEST IN PROGRESS appears on the display when the calibration settings are
being refreshed. If so, wait until completed.
12. The last settings are stored in the pump’s memory. When the pump is switched on it
will display the values last set.
4.2. REMOTE CONTROL CONNECTIONS
The Univentor 864 Syringe Pump can be controlled by a computer or terminal connected
to the serial port on the pump. The pump is equipped withTTL logic and a built in RS-232
interface via the 15 pin connector at the rear. There is also a relay that can be operated
through RS-232 to control equipment outside the pump e.g switches for light.
PIN FUNCTION
1, 2, 3 Used for RS-232 Computer Control.
4 - 13 START/STOP. Momentarily applying 5 -12 V DC between Pin 4 and Pin 13
will stop the pump if it is running or start the pump if stopped.
5 - 14 Momentarily applying 5 -12 V DC between Pin 5 and Pin 14 resets the
volume.
6,7,8 NC.
9 - 10 RUNNING INDICATOR. Relay closed when the pump is running.
11 - 12 AUX. Relay operated via RS-232.
These relays can handle maximum 12 V DC 300 mA
15 5 V DC supply current not more than 50 mA. Can be used as supply to Pin
4 and Pin 5 as well as supply for a LEED connected via the running
indicator relay. 6
