Pump Reagent parameters About this topic The Pump Reagent task fills or empties a reservoir or wash tray by pumping for a specified number of seconds. If the reservoir is on a Weigh Station, the pump stops fluid flow when the target weight is reached. This topic describes the task parameters. Parameter descriptions To run the Pump Reagent task, see Performing a task using Bravo Diagnostics. The Pump Reagent task has the following parameters. Parameter Description Reservoir mode The action of the task: • Fill • Empty Pump speed The speed, in percent of maximum, at which to pump the reagent. Pump on time The duration of time, in seconds, to run the pump: If the Use weigh station/shelf option is selected, this value specifies the maximum time (seconds) to run the pump. If the pump runs for the full duration without reaching the weigh station/shelf threshold, an error occurs. Use weigh station/shelf The option to use the Weigh Station or Weigh Shelf. Weigh station/shelf action threshold The minimum fluid weight, in percent of the full weight that was calibrated on the Weigh Station or Weigh Shelf. For example, you can set the minimum threshold at 45% so that when the fluid reaches 45% of the full weight, fluid starts to pump into the reservoir. Weigh station stop action threshold The maximum fluid weight, in percent of the full weight that was calibrated on the Weigh Station or Weigh Shelf. For example, you can set the stop threshold at 60% so that when the fluid reaches 60% of the full weight, fluid starts to drain or pump out of the reservoir.
