Atlas Scientific ReadyPump Versatile Peristaltic Pump

Product Information

Ready PumpTM is a small-volume peristaltic dosing pump that works right out of the box. It is versatile and can be used by a person or connected to a machine for auto-dosing. The pump is food-safe and NSF/ANSI 51 compliant, with high accuracy (+/-1%). It is easy to use and comes with a 30-day warranty. The pump has been designed to work for 1,000 hours before servicing is required. The Ready PumpTM has a pump head of 8.1 meters (26.5′) and dimensions of 106.5mm x 145mm x 90.5mm (4.1″ x 5.7″ x 3.5″).

Product Usage Instructions

To use the Ready PumpTM, follow the below instructions:

1. Connect the pump cassette, tubing connectors, and tubing to the pump housing.
2. Connect the power supply and extension cable PLC/machine connector to the pump housing.
3. Ensure that the liquid being dispensed is compatible with the pump’s materials (Tygon A-60-F tubing and HDPE tubing connectors). Refer to a chemical compatibility chart for confirmation.
4. Check the Ready PumpTM LED display, which indicates the current mode of operation.
5. In continuous dispensing mode (default), press the dispense button to begin pumping, press again to pause, and press and hold for 3 seconds to clear volume and start over.
6. In programmable dosing mode, dispensing a preset volume with each button press. The dispensing volume can be calibrated at 10ml with an accuracy of +/- 1%.
7. The Ready PumpTM has an uncalibrated accuracy of +/- 5% and a calibrated accuracy of +/- 1%.
8. The Ready PumpTM can dispense liquids with a viscosity ranging from 0.6 (Acetone) to 10,000 (Hershey Chocolate Syrup) cP. However, the flow rate may be lower with higher viscosity fluids.
9. The Ready PumpTM has a pump head of 8.1 meters (26.5′) and is highly chemically resistant.
10. If the pump arrives damaged, contact Atlas ScientificTM tech support within 30 days for warranty repair.

A small volume peristaltic dosing pump that works right out of the box.

Ready Pump™ can be used by a person or connected to a machine for auto dosing.

• Food safe NSF/ANSI 51 Compliant
• High accuracy +/- 1%

Easy to use

• Two modes of operation:
• Continuous dispensing 105ml/min *water
• Programmable dosing 0.5mL – 10 liters

Included items

Chemical compatibly

The Ready Pump™ is highly chemically resistant and can be used with may different chemicals. A liquid being dispensed with the Ready Pump™ will come in contact with the following materials:

• Pump tubing = Tygon A-60-F
• Tubing connectors = HDPE

Reference a chemical compatibly chart to see if your chemical is compatible with the above mentioned materials.

Viscosity

The Ready Pump™ is capable of pumping liquids within a viscosity range of 0.1 – 2,000 cP.

• 0.6 =Acetone
• 1 =Water
• 10 =Kerosene
• 100 =Corn Syrup
• 200 =Maple Syrup
• 2,000 =Honey
• 10,000 = Hershey Chocolate Syrup

Dispense accuracy

Pump head

Pump head refers to the maximum vertical height a pump can dispense. The Ready Pump™ has a pump head of 8.1 meters (26.5′).

Continuous dispense mode

Continuous dispensing

• Press button to begin pumping.
• Press again to pause.
• Press and hold for 3 sec to clear volume and start over.

Programmable dosing mode

Dispense a preset volume with each button press.

Programmable dosing

• Turn the knob to set volume.
• Press button to begin pumping.
• Press again to pause.
• Press and hold 3 sec to start over at the previously set value. To re-enter continuous dispense mode turn the knob towards 0.

Programmable dosing display
By default the display will count up from 0 (like a gas pump). Turn the knob to count down from preset volume to 0. Turn the knob again to show preset volume.

Settings mode

To enter the settings mode, press and hold the knob for 2 seconds. To exit the settings mode, press the knob or press the button.

= Direction

Changes the dispensing direction
Press and hold the knob for 2 seconds. Reverse LED will turn on, indicating that the Ready Pump will now run in reverse.

CAL = Calibration
= Calibrated
See page 11 for calibration instructions.

= Clear calibration

Clears the calibration
Press and hold the knob for 2 seconds. The screen will flash twice and then reboot. Calibration has been cleared.

= Factory reset

Returns the Ready Pump™ to its original settings
Press and hold the knob for 2 seconds. The screen will flash twice and then reboot. All factory settings have been restored, calibration has been cleared.

Calibration

• Uncalibrated accuracy +/- 5%
• Calibrated accuracy +/- 1%

Calibrating the Ready Pump™ is only required if your dosing accuracy needs to be greater then +/- 5%.

Calibration frequency Once.
Recalibration is only needed if your dispensing a liquid with different viscosity than what was used to calibrate the Ready Pump™.

Example
Calibration was done with water; But now the Ready Pump™ is dispensing corn syrup. Because corn syrup has a higher viscosity than water, recalibration may be necessary.

Pre-calibration requirements
Before calibration is attempted all the air bubbles should be removed from the tubing. This is done by running the Ready Pump™ while tapping the tubing. If air bubbles are not removed from the tubing they will slowly group together into larger air bubbles. Over time this will lead to accuracy issues.

Calibration procedure

Procedure overview

• A. Dispense a preset volume
• B. Measure the volume of liquid dispensed.
• C. Tell the pump how much liquid it actually dispensed.

Equipment needed

A graduated cylinder 10ml or greater.

Make sure the tubing is full of liquid and has no visible air bubbles before calibrating.

1. Instruct the pump to dispense 10ml or greater.
2. Dispense the preset dose into the graduated cylinder. Take note of the volume in the graduated cylinder.
3. Press and hold the knob for 2 seconds, navigate to CAL.
4. Again, press and hold the knob for 2 seconds to enter CAL. (Both LED will be blinking)
5. Using the knob, enter in the actual volume that was dispensed into the graduated cylinder, then long press (2 sec) the knob to confirm your value.

1. CAL will flash 3 times, and Ready Pump™ will reboot.

Embedding the Ready PumpTM into a machine

• Use the included PLC / machine connector to control the Ready Pump™. This connector lets you automate a button press. Programming a preset volume to dispense must be done using the encoder knob. The Ready Pump™ cannot be programmed through this cable.

• When the power lead is connected to the GND lead the Ready Pump™ will detect a button press.
• Short press = 100ms
• Long press = 3,000ms
