4

Initial Charge Time

Time taken during initial charge phase. Initial charge phase checks pack is fully charged and if not it is charged.

Lower than 2 hours 59 minutes

5

Discharge Time

Time taken during measured discharge phase. Pack is discharged to determine how much charge is available from the pack.

Between 4 hours 15 minutes and 10 hours

6

Final Charge Time

Time taken during final charge phase. Pack is fully recharged ready for use.

Lower than 2 hours 59 minutes

5. All pass criteria (see table above) should be met and the pump should display FINISH at the end of the calibration otherwise calibration has failed. If calibration has failed retry calibration or replace battery.

A

A new battery or battery that has been in storage may fail its initial calibration run, from these states most batteries require conditioning with at least 3 charge discharge cycles to achieve their maximum capacity. Therefore batteries faulty an initial calibration run should not immediately be considered defective, once cycled most initial failures will show improvement and pass on a second calibration attempt.

6. Press OK to exit. Note: The plunger drive will move automatically during the discharge phase. The plunger drive must be positioned away from the end of travel, at least the middle of the travel, and not be obstructed during calibration (remove syringes etc).
