Operation 23
Using the DP-3000
The following procedure is an example of a typical DP-3000 dispensing process. It begins with a
disassembled pump, then walks you through assembling the pump and getting it ready to dispense. It
also explains how to use the operation commands to setup, refill, purge, and prime the pump. You should
adapt this procedure to fit your specific application as necessary. Use of this procedure will ensure
reliable dispensing performance.
Tools and Materials Needed:
• DP-3000 Linear Dispensing Pump
• Fully installed dispensing system
• 2.5-mm hex key
To prepare the DP-3000 for dispensing:
1. Allow the syringe and dispensing fluid to come to room temperature, usually between 45 and
90 minutes.
WARNING! Consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all fluids used with the
dispensing system. The MSDS provides material usage instructions, disposal
instructions, and safety precautions. Always wear appropriate personal protective
equipment (PPE) as recommended by facility safety practices and the material
manufacturer’s MSDS.
" NOTE If your DP-3000 is already assembled and on the dispensing system, skip to Step 15. If
your DP-3000 is disassembled and not on the dispensing system, continue with Step 2.
