MPS MedicalPharm/Pump III Operator Manual V5.01
Setup Memories
Foot Switch
The Pharm/Pump III has twenty-six non-volatile
memories, each of which can store a full set of
operating parameters. Any of these can be recalled
in a moment allowing rapid selection of different
repeated job functions.
A Foot Switch can be connected to the Pharm/Pump
III allowing a hands free start, stop and resume of all
pumping functions. This switch directly mimics the
operation of the START/STOP front panel keys.
Non-Volatile Real Time Clock The MPS MedicalPharm/Pump III has an
internal hardware real time clock which will maintain the
correct date and time, even with the power turned off,
automatically compensating for the number of days in
each month, including during a leap year. The date
information will then be printed on the label when the
pump is in Named Drug dispense mode.
RS232 Serial Port An industry standard RS232 serial port is provided on
the rear of the pump to facilitate the connection of a
label printer.
Custom Labels The unit contains an editor that allows a 20 character
title to be edited, together with an 8 character 2nd line
for concentration values. This, together with the Date,
Volume and Lot Number, is printed after each
dispense. Any volume can be dispensed.
Each memory has a custom label, hence 26 different
labels can be produced.
1.2 Front Control Panel Layout
The front control panel is shown in Appendix 4. It is split into four main areas:
-A 2 line by 20 character LCD display is used to display data, menus,
warning/error messages and soft key functions.
-The 3 rectangular keys located under the display are known as soft function
keys. Their function is denoted by the text located above them on the bottom line
of the LCD display. As menus are navigated the function of these keys will
change to reflect the current operation being performed.
