Overview
The NE-300 is a general-purpose single syringe pump capable of infusing at
digitally set pumping rates. It is controlled by a microcontroller-based
system that drives a step motor, allowing a wide range of pumping rates
calibrated to the inside diameter of the loaded syringe. The syringe is driven
by a drive-screw and drive-nut mechanism.
Features:
- Infusion pumping of syringes up to 140 ml.
- Pumping rates from 0.73 L/hr with a 1 ml. to 1500 mL /hr with a 60 mL. syringe.
- Display of the infused volume
- The non-volatile memory of all operating parameters
- Power Failure Mode: Re-starts pumping after a power interruption.

Parts of a Syringe
Terminology
Mornentry Press: A quick press, less than I second, and then the release of
a key on the keypad.
Display Blink: A momentary blanking of the LCD display. This indicates that
the new data entered by the user is valid and has taken effect.
Setup
- Place the pump on a stable surface.
- Plug the round connector end of the supplied power supply adapter into the power plug located on the lower right of the pump’s rear. See section 8, Rear of Pump. for a diagram of the rear of the pump. Plug the other end of the power supply adapter into an appropriate electrical outlet, The pump will be powered when the bottom of the power switch, located on the upper right of the rear of the pump, labeled ‘I’, is pressed. The red indicator on the switch is visible when the power switch is in the on position. After power is applied to the pump, the pump’s display wilt flash
- Next, the Pumping Parameters can be entered. Before the pump can be started, pump needs the measurement of the inside diameter, in millimeters (mm, of the syringe that will be loaded. The syringe diameter is entered using the keypad on the front panel of the pump
- Finally, the syringe can be loaded and the pump started
Loading Syringes
The syringe is loaded by securing the barrel and the pusher flange as follows:
- Press in fully the white drive-nut button on the pusher block, releasing the block. Taking care not to drag the drive-nut on the drive-screw, slide the block away from the syringe holder, providing sufficient space for the loaded syringe. Then release the white button.
- Lift the syringe clamp above the syringe holder block. Turn it I/4 turn and then lower it onto the syringe holder block. The syringe clamp should be out of the V slot.
- Load the syringe with the barrel over the syringe holder and the syringe plunger towards the middle of the pump. Place the barrel on the syringe holder, in the ‘V slot, with the barrel flange to the left of the syringe holder block.
- Lift the syringe clamp to slightly above the height of the syringe barrel and then turn the syringe clamp 1/4 turn it back to its original position and lower it onto the syringe barrel.
- Press the white drive-nut button to slide the pusher block against the syringe plunger. Release the white drive-nut button.

User Interface
5.1 Entering Values
When applicable, values can be changed by displaying the current value, then
using the up-arrow keys, When the display blinks, the new value will be stored
in the pump’s non-volatile memory, meaning that the new value will not be lost
the net time that power is applied to the pump.
A displayed value can be changed by pressing the up-arrow keys below each
digit. To set or clear the decimal point, press the 2 up-arrow keys below the
2 digits next to the decimal point position.
While the current value is being changed, the unit LEDs associated with the
value, if any, wilt blink. Except where noted, the new value is stored, and/or
the selected operation takes effect, when either
- The anon-arrow key is pressed or
- After a 2-second delay since the last arrow key was pressed
If the new value is valid and different from the original value, the display
wilt blink, indicating that the new value was stored. Otherwise, if the value
was invalid, an error message will be displayed. Pressing any key clears the
error message and restores the original value.
In general, if a parameter has 2 values, ‘off and on, they are represented by
the numbers 0’ and ‘1’, respectively.
5.2 LCD Display
The display consists of a 4-digit reflective LCD display. This is the general-
purpose user display device for displaying floating point values, functions,
and parameters. The colon (:) is used for separating function abbreviations
from their parameter values.
5.3 LEDs
To the right of the LCD are 8 red, round. LED indicators. The first 2 columns
display the units of the displayed values. Units are expressed using I or 2
LEDs. For example, mL/ hr’ is expressed by lighting the mL’ and the ‘hr’ LEDs.
| LED | Description |
|---|---|
| mm | Millimeters |
| mL | Milliliters |
| min | Minutes |
| υL | Microliters |
| Hr | Hours |
Withdraw
| Pumping Direction:
Lit: Withdraw Purge Pumping
Dispensed| Displayed volume is dispensed volume
Pumping| Lit: Motor is operating
Not lit: The Pump is stopped
5.4 Up-Arrow Keys and Decimal Point
Each of the four digits in the display is associated with the up-arrow key
directly below it. When applicable, the up-arrow key is used to increment the
value of that digit or advance to the next setting.
Each press of up-arrow keys increases digits by 1, up to 9, and then back to
0. Hold down arrow keys for continuous incrementing of digits. With fixed
range value parameters, such as on/off parameters, arrow keys scroll up to the
maximum value, then back to the minimum value.
When changing a parameter’s units, each press of any arrow key will change the
unit’s LEDs to the next unit selection.
When the display blinks, the new value is stored and takes effect. This will
occur when a non-arrow key is pressed or after a 2-second delay since the last
key press.
Decimal Point
There are 4 decimal point positions on the LCD display. Each decimal point
position is to the right of a digit. The last decimal point position, to the
right of the right-most digit, is not displayed, indicating whole numbers with
no decimal point.
To set or clear a decimal point, simultaneously press the 2 up-arrow keys
under the 2 digits next to the decimal point.
Alternatively, use the left-most up-arrow key/decimal point key ( ). Press and
hold this key for at least 1 second and wait until the left-most digit scrolls
from ‘9’ to ‘0’. While continuing to hold this key, the decimal point will
shift 1 position to the right. After the right-most decimal point position,
the decimal point will shift to the first decimal point position. Release the
key when the decimal point is in the required position.
5.5 Diameter’ and Setup Key
The ‘Diameter’ key displays the syringe inside diameter with the mm’ LED lit. With the pump stopped, use the up-arrow keys to change the diameter setting (see sec. 5.4, Up-Arrow Keys and Decimal Point). The ‘mm’ LED will blink while the diameter is being changed. If the ‘Diameter’ key is pressed and held, ‘Setup’ mode will be entered. (see sec. 5.10, ‘Setup’ Key). **5.6 ‘Rate’ Key** The ‘Rate’ key displays the pumping rate. With the pump stopped, another press of the ‘Rate’ key will switch between the ‘Rate’ display and the select rate units mode. Use the up-arrow keys to change the pumping rate (see sec. 5.4, Up-Arrow Keys and Decimal Point). The rate units will blink while the rate is being changed. If the new pumping rate entered is valid, it takes effect when the display blinks after a 2-second delay or when a non-arrow key is pressed. See section 9.5, “Syringe Diameters and Rate Limits”, for a list of minimum and maximum pumping rates for different syringes. A pumping rate of 0.0 will stop the pump. If the new pumping rate is out of range of the pumping rate limits for the syringe diameter, the display will show . Pressing any key clears the message and returns to the previous pumping rate. **5.6.1 Pumping Rate Units** The pumping rate units can only be changed when the Pump is stopped. When displaying the pumping rate, a momentary press of the ‘Rate’ key will enter Rate Units Change mode. The 2 LEDs representing the units will blink and the display will show: Each press of any up-arrow key selects the next rate units, as indicated by the blinking units LEDs. When the required rate units are blinking, press any non-arrow key or wait 2 seconds. The display will blink, indicating the rate units are stored in memory. **5.7Volume’ Key
The ‘Volume” key displays the “Volume Dispensed”. The ‘Volume Dispensed’ LED
and the current volume units LED will be lit. The units of the volume are set
according to the syringe diameter but can be changed.
5.7.1 Clearing “Volume Dispensed”
With the pump stopped and displaying the “Volume Dispensed”, pressing and
holding any up-arrow key for one second will reset the dispensed volume to
0.000.

The syringe inside diameter can only be set while the Pump is stopped. Use
the up-arrow keys to set the diameter value While the diameter value is being
set, the ‘mm’ LED wilt blink. The new diameter value is stored after pressing
any non-arrow key, or after a 2-second delay.
Valid syringe diameters are from 0.1 mm to 50.0 mm. If the diameter is out of
this range, the display will show pressing the key restores the diameter
display to its previous value. Changing the syringe diameter will not zero the
pumping rate. Section 9,5, Syringe Diameters and Rate Limits”, is a
representative list, for reference, of syringe diameters for various syringe
manufacturers and syringe sizes.
6.1.1Volume Units: Default and How to Change
The units of the accumulated infusion volume are set according to the syringe
diameter setting. If the default volume units are changed (see next section),
the selected volume units will remain in effect until a reset function is
performed.
From 0.1 to 14.0 mm
From 14.01 t0 50.0 mm| Syringes smaller than 10 mL.:
Syringes greater than or equal to 10 mL.:| Volume units are ‘ul’
