Page 7: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Laboratory and industrial procedures often require metering precise amounts of fluids in a controlled and reproducible manner. Optos pumps were developed in response to this need. These pumps are capable of delivering measured amounts of fluids against significant backpressure. Pump Features Include: Piston wash chamber for backflushing piston to extend seal life. -

Page 16: Installation
INSTALLATION What You Will Need The Unit A Optos Pump consists of the pump assembly, a fittings kit for tubing connections (except for ¼” piston stainless steel pumps, which have fittings attached to the valves), a syringe (except ¼” pumps), a power cord, this manual and warranty card. -

connector; this will open the lower port of the I/O connector. Insert the wire (strip wires by between 1/8” to ¼”) and release the upper port lever. Inputs The Optos can be remotely controlled from devices which can send current loop or voltage signals. In addition, the Optos can be remotely controlled using contact closures. -

trickle of helium during solvent use. Some users blanket the reservoir with helium after sparging (pressurize reservoirs to about 3 psi with helium). Solvent Filtration You must filter your solvents. We recommend you install a 10 micron sintered stainless steel filter (P/N 5776) on the inlet line. -
Page 19: Using The Piston Wash System
Using the Piston Wash system The use of buffers or solutions which crystallize when exposed to air can lead to abrasion of the piston seal. Optos pumps have a built-in wash chamber. The wash system is designed to flush the back end of the primary piston seal. -
Page 20: Operation
OPERATION Basic Operation Optos pumps perform more reproducibly if there is some degree of backpressure (preferably at least 25 psi). In all cases, outlet resistance must exceed inlet pressure. Otherwise, the fluid will simply flow through the pump without being metered. If the system in which the pump is being used does not generate enough backpressure, we suggest you install a device, e.g., a “dummy”... -

A 10 micron sintered stainless steel filter is available from Eldex (Part No. 5776) and is suitable for most applications. When you need to avoid metal, a 10 micron plastic filter is available from Eldex (Part No. 1279). -
Page 27: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE We have designed Eldex Metering Pumps to give years of trouble-free service. By following a few simple maintenance procedures, you can ensure the longevity of your pump. Cleaning Before cleaning your pump, disconnect the pump from the power supply. Cleaning can be accomplished by wiping down with a damp cloth. - Page 28 Cleanliness is very important for optimal seal and check valve operation. Note suggestion regarding seal “break-in” on page 15. NOTE: If you retain the tools supplied with Eldex Part Nos. 5911, 5941, or 5944, you can purchase just the seals and re-use the tools.

Page 29: Replacing Valves
Replacing Valves Always replace valves in a clean area to prevent dust and dirt from entering the pump. Removal of Existing Valves The valves are the two hexagon-shaped components on the liquid end assembly (see Figure 4.4). Inlet valves can be distinguished from outlet valves by the groove on the hexagonal part of the valve. Remove the valves with a ½”... - Page 30 Reassemble the valve by placing the valve insert in the valve housing using the larger (3/16”) dowel pin provided (1373 and 1374 valves use a total of 3 washers, one is installed before installing the valve insert). Make sure it is oriented correctly (see Figure 4.4). Press a CTFE seal into place. Slide the valve cartridge into the valve housing making certain it is oriented correctly.
