Assembly

1. Mounting the telescopic filling tube/recirculation tube
   Adjust length of the telescopng filling tube to the bottle height and attach it carefully to the center of the dispenser.
   If a dispenser with recirculation is used, the additional recirculation tube should also be nstalled. Install this tube with the curved portion poi nting outward / towards the nozzle {Fig.1)

2. Mounting the dispenser on a bottle
   Carefully screw the dispenser assembly {GL 32 threads) onto the reagent bottle and ensure that the nozzle is aligned with the graduation marks on the main body of the bottle.
   Note : For bottles with different thread sizes, please select the appropriate adapter.
   The adapters supplied with the dispenser are made of polypropylene (PP), and can only be used with reagents which do not attack PP.
   WARNING
   Always wear protective gloves when touching the dispenser or the bottle, especially when using dangerous liquids.
   When mounted to a reagent bottle, always carry the dispenser vertically as shown in Fig. 3

Priming

Bottle Top Dispenser with recirculation valve mechanism

WARNING
The nozzle should always point away from the user. Please ensure that the piston is never pressed down when the nozzle cap is mounted to the dispenser tube. Avoid splashing.

Please follow the steps below to prime the dispenser:

1. Turn the lever to recirculation mode. (Fig. S)
2. Slowly pull up the piston and push it down smoothly to the end stop. Repeat this until air bubbles disappear from the cylinder. (Fig. 6)
3. Turn the lever back to it’s original position for dispensing.

Bottle Top Dispenser without recirculation valve mechanism

WARNING
The nozzle should always point away from the user. Please ensure that the piston is never pressed down when the nozzle cap is mounted to the dispenser tube. Avoid splashing.

Please follow the steps below to prime the dispenser:

1. Place a vessel below the nozzle.
2. Hold the spout and carefully remove the nozzle cap. (Fig. 7)
3. Slowly pull up the piston and push it down smoothly to the end stop. Repeat this until air bubbles disappear from the cylinder. (Fig. 6)

Operating Instructions

Setting the volume

1. Turn the volume setting knob counterclockwise to unlock.
2. Slide the knob up or down to the desired volume.
3. Align the pointer on the volume setting knob to the desired volume and carefully turn the knob clockwise to lock at that setting.
   Your dispenser is now ready to work at your desired volume. (Fig. 8)

Dispensing

WARNING
Please use caution when dispensing dangerous reagents.

1. Please follow the priming process (Section 6) before dispensing.
2. Ensure recirculation lever is aligned with nozzle.
3. Make certain a vessel is below the nozzle at all times while dispensing.
4. Set your desired volume (as shown in section 7.1 – Setting the Volume).
5. Gently pull the piston up until reaching the upper-end stop, then push the piston down smoothly until reaching the lower-end stop.
6. When completed, gently touch the end of nozzle against the inner wall of the receiving vessel (for touch-off). Repeat this process for each of the dispensing cycles required.
7. Reattach the nozzle cap to the nozzle when finished.
   Note : Do not use excessive force while pushing down the piston. If you feel the piston is jammed,
   please follow the troubleshooting guide (Section 12)
   Please ensure that the piston is at lower stop before reattaching the nozzle cap.
   The user may detect a slight sound during aspiration when moving the dispenser; please note this is normal (due to the ball design used in the piston/ valve).

Cleaning

Please make sure to clean the dispenser regularly to ensure good operation.

Cleaning should be performed if any of the following occur:

• If the piston becomes stuck inside the tube
• Before changing reagents
• Long periods of downtime
• Before autoclaving
• Before any maintenance

Please make sure to wear suitable eye protection glasses and protective clothing.
Please follow the steps below prior to cleaning:

1. Completely dispense the liquid present inside the dispenser.
2. Mount the dispenser on a bottle filled with deionized water or any other suitable cleaning agent and rinse the dispenser several times.
3. Pull off the telescopic tube (and recirculation tube if applicable) and clean with deionized water.
4. For dispensers with recirculation, set the unit to recirculation mode and again rinse the dispenser several times.

Please follow the steps below to clean the piston and glass barrel:

This procedure must be followed if the piston is difficult to move or if dispenser is to be autoclaved.

1. Unscrew the head as shown in Fig. 9
2. Take out the piston completely as shown in Fig.10
3. Clean the piston & glass barrel with deionized water and then reassemble in reverse.

Disassembly of the valve

1. Put out the Re-circulation tube & telescopic tube (Fig. 11)

2. Use the service tool to unscrew the filling valve and also take out the ball with care. (Fig.12)

3. Use the other side of the service tool to unscrew the inner valve (Fig. 13) and remove it (Fig.14)

4. After cleaning/replacement, insert inner valve in the same position as before removal.

5. Screw the filling valve first by hand and then tighten it with the service tool.
   If some elastic resistance is present while aspirating the reagent, then it is possible that the ball valve may be sticking/stuck.
   To correct this, exercise the ball valve using very light pressure, for example, 200 µI plastic pipette tip (Fig. 14)

Accuracy

Error limits related to the nominal capacity {maximum volume) indicated on the instrument are obtained when instrument and distilled water are equilibrated at ambient temperature {20°C/68° F). The calibration process is performed as per the EN ISO 8655-5 standard with a completely assembled dispenser and uniform dispensing.

Volume Increment Accuracy(±) % Precision (±) %

Calibration

WARNING
During calibration you must begin at the lowest volume first, ensuring the body of the dispenser is not moved before you close the cap and then proceed to the medium and high volumes.

Calibration check

1. Please follow the calibration procedures as described in EN ISO 8655-5 (i.e. environmental conditions, water, balance, etc.)..
