Pump Head with Safety Cover
Pump heads are composed of a rotor with idle stainless steel rollers
that press a flexible piece of tubing against a cam. In this way liquids
are pumped by a peristaltic effect.
There are two types of pump heads: the MP (standard) and the
HF (High Flow) series.
MP models have one, two, four, or eight channels (R1, R2,
R4, and R8), ten rollers, and accept tubing size from 0.2 mm
to 4 mm (internal diameter). The maximum back pressure is
0.5 MPa (72.5 psi).
HF models have two or four channels (R2/HF and R4/HF),
five rollers, and accept peristaltic tubing from 2 mm to 8 mm
(because of the V-clamp locking system). The maximum back
pressure is 0.3 MPa (43.5 psi).

4 SETUP
This chapter contains detailed information relating to fitting the tubing, flow rate selection, and which connectors
or couplings should be used.
Electrical
Remote Control Connections
Electrical Contacts
The MINIPULS 3 can be started and stopped remotely using electrical inputs. The direction of rotation and pump
speed may also be changed. The electrical contacts are made using the terminal block on the rear panel. The
contacts, which are numbered 1 through 8, have the functions listed below. Contacts 2, 4, and 8 are ground
connections.
Pair 1-2 is a contact input that changes the pumping direction.
Pair 3-4 is a contact input that starts/stops the pump.
Pair 5-6 is not used.
Pair 7-8 controls the speed of the pump using an analog voltage signal. For more information, refer to
Pump Speed (Analog Input) on page 26.
Making Connections
The following are needed to make connections:
2-conductor cable (20–26 gauge for each wire)
wire insulation stripper
A 6-foot piece of suitable cable (part number 709910206) is available for purchase from Gilson.
To make connections with the 2-conductor cable:
1 Cut the cable into pieces of appropriate length.
2 Strip about 8 mm of insulation from each end of the cable.
3 Remove the terminal block connector from the pump.
4 Press in the spring-loaded retainer for the appropriate terminal on the terminal block connector. Insert each
wire into the appropriate terminal on the terminal block connector and then release the spring-loaded
retainer.
5 Reconnect the terminal block connector to the liquid handler. Push the connector in as far as it will go. It
is designed to fit snugly into its receptacle.
6 Connect the opposite ends of the wires to the other device(s). Be sure to match ground connections.
7 Label each cable to identify the purpose of the connection.
ENGLISH
- 13 -- 12 -
Computer Control
To control the MINIPULS 3 from a computer, connect an appropriate Gilson interface module, or a Gilson RS-232
adapter to the computer.
Next, connect a Gilson Serial Input/Output Channel (GSIOC) cable between the interface module (or adapter)
and the MINIPULS 3, and any other Gilson devices that are controlled from the same computer.
The 9-position female plug on the GSIOC cable connects directly into the male socket on the MINIPULS 3 rear panel.
The type of interface module used, and details of how the various units in the system are interconnected,
depend on the complexity of the system.
Refer to the appropriate user’s guide, and to 6 - REMOTE CONTROL beginning on page 26, for more details relating
to GSIOC connections and commands.
Install or Change the Pump Head
Follow these procedures to install or replace a pump head.
The safety cover must be installed on the pump head before operating
the pump. Failure to do so presents a mechanical hazard to the user.
Safety cover installation instructions are provided on page16.
Remove Cover
1 Unscrew the two screws securing the cover to the pump head
until the cover can be lifted off the pump head.
2 Lift the cover off the pump head.
Open Pump Head
1 Unlock each channel of the head by pressing the trigger key
towards the roller barrel.
2 Swing the compression cam out.
Install Pump Head
1 Place the two mounting screws (part number 4011564204,
supplied in the accessory kit) through the pump head.
2 Install the pump head on top of the speed control module in
the desired position; four are possible. Do not position it with
the drain tube to the front.
3 Turn the roller shaft so that the slot at the bottom of the shaft
aligns with the tab of the rubber coupler in the speed control
module. Turning the shaft gently back and forth can help the user to engage it with the tab. When these
two parts are properly engaged, the base of the pump head rests on top of the speed control module.
4 Slide the pump head so that the two screws fall into their inserts and then tighten the screws, but do not
over-tighten.
Tubing - Selection and Fitting
Introduction
There is a small Iso-Versinic® drain tube inside the MINIPULS 3, with
an outlet at the base of the pump. The tube, which limits the risks
resulting from a rupture of the peristaltic tubing, is connected to the
motor assembly to prevent liquid from seeping inside the instrument.
All other tubing is fitted to the pump head. Gilson supplies two types
of tubing:
peristaltic tubing with two retaining stops,
connection tubing without retaining stops.
In normal operations, short lengths of peristaltic tubing are placed in the pump head. With MP pump heads, it
is essential that peristaltic tubing with two retaining stops is used. The calibrated stops ensure that the tubing
is correctly tensioned when fitted to the head.
HF models can use either type of tubing. The user then links the MINIPULS 3 with other hydraulic components
of the system (for example chromatographic columns) using connection tubing, connectors, and couplers of
appropriate diameter and material.
Type of Material
Tubing made of various materials and
with different internal diameters is
available from Gilson. The tubing sizes
and materials, recommended for MP
and HF pump heads are shown in the
table. Tubing sizes are specified as
internal diameter (ID) in millimeters (mm).
Maximum flow rates are specified in
milliliters/minute.
For any given type of pump head, the type of solution pumped determines the type of peristaltic tubing to be
used. For more information, refer to Recommended Tubing (by Application) on page 14.
More rigid materials, such as PVC, produce smaller pulsations. For example, when pumping water at 45 rpm
(pressure = 0.1 MPa or 14.5 psi) typical values for pressure pulsations are 5% with 6 mm (ID) PVC tubing and
20% with 6 mm (ID) silicone tubing.
MP Models HF Models

Diameter and Flow Rate
Select the peristaltic tubing diameter that gives the desired flow rate after referring to Flow Rate Selection and
Adjustment on page 16. These graphs represent the values obtained in laboratory tests, where the liquid was
allowed to flow freely from the tubing against atmospheric pressure only. There was no additional back pressure
(e.g., a chromatographic column).
The selection of peristaltic tubing is a compromise between minimizing the pulsations and maximizing the
lifetime of the tubing. When making this choice, the following points should be considered:
the smaller the diameter, the smaller the pulsations and the faster the head has to rotate, leading to a
reduction of peristaltic tubing lifetime
the bigger the diameter, the bigger the pulsations, and the slower the head has to rotate, leading to
increased peristaltic tubing lifetime. That is, the pulsations increase when the flow rate decreases, and
when the internal diameter of the tubing increases.

Fitting the Tubing
Before fitting the tubing, remove the safety cover.
Install the safety cover before operating the pump.
MP Pump Heads
Only peristaltic tubing with retaining stops can be
fitted to MP pump heads.
1 Unlock each channel of the head by pressing the
trigger key (A) towards the roller barrel.
2 Position the tubing around the rollers; it is kept in
place by the plastic stops (B).
3 Swing the compression cam back and snap the
locking key. Do this one-by-one for pump heads
with more than one channel.
HF Pump Heads
Peristaltic Tubing with Retaining Stops:
1 Unlock each channel of the head by pressing the
trigger key (A) towards the roller barrel.
2 Position the tubing around the rollers; they are
kept in place by the plastic stops (B).
3 One by one, swing the compression cams back
and close the locking keys.
Peristaltic Tubing without Retaining Stops:
The peristaltic tubing is kept in place by clamps. The
movable retaining bar (C) must be fitted in such a
way that the large triangular pathways are on the
side of the fixed bar. To fit the tubing, use the same
procedure as above.
Because the R2/HF and R4/HF pumps are equipped
with 5 rollers rather than the 10 rollers as on the
other heads, pulsations may be observed at the end
of the tubing.

Safety Cover Installation
1 Place the cover.
2 Align the screws with their inserts as shown in the image at right.
3 Tighten the screws.
Flow Rate Selection and Adjustment
Selection
The following charts may be used to
select the approximate pump head
speed
(rpm) that is required to achieve the desired flow rate.
If it is possible to choose between tubings of different sizes (refer to the
7 - APPENDIX beginning on page 33), select a middle range tubing that
gives a middle range speed.
Adjustment
Adjust the cam pressure on the tubing to the minimum necessary to ensure pumping of the liquid. The
compression cam pressure can be adjusted using the adjustment screw.
Slowly tighten the screw until the pump starts pumping liquid inside the peristaltic tubing, and then tighten
again approximately 1/8 turn. Take care not to over-tighten the screws; it is advisable to limit pressure on tubing
to the minimum necessary for pumping liquid. Carry out final adjustment after 15 minutes of operation.
If the pump is used with a system that provides a back pressure (e.g., a chromatographic column), tighten the
screw by one or two extra turns to obtain the required flow rate.

Recommendations
To ensure that consistent and accurate flow rates are maintained, systematically replace peristaltic
tubing as soon as it appears to be worn. You can reduce wear on the tubing by running at slower
speeds, by using tubing of a larger diameter, or by loosening the adjustment screws. Conversely, you
should tighten the adjustment screws to reduce the level of pulsations, which may also be reduced by
applying some back pressure, or by selecting a more rigid tubing material, like PVC.
When the pump is not in use, release the compression cams by pressing on the bevelled corners of the
trigger key and slacken the tubing. This increases the life of the tubing.
A small piece of Iso-Versinic® tubing is supplied in the standard accessory package. Fit one piece to
the pump head by pushing it onto the drain. The purpose of the drain is to remove liquid from the
pump head if the flow tubing breaks; it limits the risk of liquid seeping into the speed control module,
which contains the motor and electronic circuitry.
To prevent liquid from leaking in the event of a tube breaking, install the pump at a higher level than
the tank and collector. This arrangement eliminates gravitational flow.
If the pump is used as part of a system where a back pressure is present (for example, against a
chromatographic column), the adjustment screw must be tightened by one or two extra turns to
enable the liquid to flow. Where back pressure is present, the maximum flow rates are less than the
values that can be measured from the charts, which are plots of values measured at atmospheric
pressure (refer to Flow Rate Selection and Adjustment beginning on page 16).
Use the RABBIT key to prime the tubing (fill it with liquid); see 5 - OPERATION, beginning on page 21.
Gilson Connectors and Couplers
Gilson can supply connectors for linking peristaltic tubing with connection tubing, and couplers for other
equipment, such as low-pressure liquid chromatography columns. Refer to the 7 - APPENDIX, beginning on
page 33, for part numbers.

Press the RABBIT key to purge or to prime the tubing. The RABBIT key cannot be used until either the
or the key has been pressed. The direction of pumping can be changed without stopping the pump.
Pressing the RABBIT key gives the maximum speed of 48 rpm in the previously selected direction.
When pressed, the display shows (+ - - -) or (- - - -), but the previous speed is stored in memory.
If pressed a second time, the pump rotates at the preset speed; the same is applicable if either
the or the key is pressed.
The STOP key stops the pump and stores the displayed speed for the next start up command. If the key is
pressed when the pump is revolving at the RABBIT speed, the last speed selected before RABBIT selection
is
stored for the next start up command.
When the pump is remote-controlled,
a symbol is displayed above the (+) or (-) sign.
Autostart Function
The Autostart Function enables the pump to restart pumping at power on, in a predetermined way. When the
power is restored, the pump idles regardless of its status when the power was cut. The display flashes until any
key is pressed.
The Autostart Function has three modes, as described in the next three paragraphs; mode selection is described
in the following paragraph.
Non-autostart Mode
During mode selection, this mode is indicated by a dash “-” to the left of the identification number. In this mode,
each time the speed is changed, the current speed is stored in non-volatile memory (provided no other key
is pressed within three seconds of selecting the speed). Subsequently, when the pump is switched on, the
previously selected speed is shown on the display. The pump operates at this speed when either the or the
key is pressed.
Autostart Mode
During mode selection, this mode is indicated by a letter “A” to the left of the identification number. In this mode,
the last speed and direction are stored in non-volatile memory (provided no other key is pressed within three
seconds of selecting the speed or direction).Subsequently, when the pump is switched on, the pump operates
in the way that it did before it was switched off.
Hold Mode
During mode selection, this mode is indicated by a letter “H” to the left of the identification number. In this mode,
although speed and direction changes are effective at the time that they are made, the non-volatile memory
is not updated. When the pump is switched on again, the pump operates in a way that is pre-determined by
the user, regardless of any changes that were made before it was switched off.
To set the pre-determined values that are effective when the pump is switched on, proceed as follows.
1 Put the pump in the “Autostart” mode (see Mode Selection).
2 Set the speed and direction, wait for five seconds, and then switch off.
3 Switch on while pressing the STOP key, then select the “Hold” mode using the RABBIT key.
4 Press the STOP key to exit the configuration program.
The values set in this mode are preserved until the mode is changed to either Autostart or Non-autostart.
Mode Selection
To select the mode:
1 Turn the power off.
2 Press the STOP key, and while holding it, turn the power on again.
3 The display then shows one of three symbols to indicate the current mode (“A”, “H”, or “-”) followed by a
2-digit identification number (see Changing the Unit ID).
4 Press the RABBIT key until the symbol indicating the required mode appears.
5 Press the STOP key to validate the selection.
Changing the Unit ID
The unit ID identifies each instrument to Gilson software packages that can issue GSIOC commands to the
instrument. There is no need to change this number unless it is the same as that assigned to another Gilson
instrument that’s also connected along the GSIOC.
At the factory, Gilson set the unit ID for the MINIPULS 3 to 30.
To change the unit ID, turn the power OFF. Turn the power ON again while pressing the STOP key. The display
shows “A30”. Using the “+” and “-” keys, select the desired ID number. Then, press the STOP key to quit.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Routine maintenance
The only routine maintenance required is to clean up any spilled liquids and periodically to clean the outside
of the MINIPULS 3 with a damp cloth.
Replace tubing when it shows signs of wear, such as flatness or cracking. Damaged tubing can cause excessive
pulsations and erratic flow.
Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
Blank Display If the display is blank when the pump is turned ON, proceed as follows:
If the fan does not run.
Check the power connection and (if necessary) replace the power supply. If the display remains blank, contact your
local Gilson representative.
If the fan runs.
Check the electronics by pressing the or key. If the pump head does not rotate, there could be a problem
with the electronics (faulty board). Contact the service agency.
Dead Keypad If the “+” and the “-” keys have some effect, the pump is probably under remote control. If not, the keypad could
need replacing. Contact the service agency.
No GSIOC Response Check the GSIOC ID number, GSIOC cables, connectors, and GSIOC interface module. If these actions fail to correct
the problem, there could be a problem with the electronics (faulty board). Contact your local Gilson representative.
Worn or Faulty Pump Head
Replace the pump head.

6 REMOTECONTROL
Remote contact control is not available if the MINIPULS 3 is already under GSIOC or keypad control. To transition
from keypad control to remote control, the pump must be in an idle state.
Electrical Contact Control
There are two contact inputs and one
analog input available on the 8-pin
terminal block connector. These TTL
low-level active inputs (0–5V) have a
threshold of 2 Volts and are pulled up
to 5 Volts with a high impedance. The
connection diagram is shown at right.
Start/Stop Input
(ContactInput)
The pump can be started by closing the
start/stop input, and stopped by opening it. The input is closed by shorting pin 3 to ground (pin 2, 4, or 8).
Closing this input starts the pump in the direction selected by the Direction Control input at the speed defined
by the Analog Input. When the pump is started using this input, the keypad has no effect until the Start/Stop
contact is opened again.
Direction Control (Contact Input)
When the Direction Control contact is opened, the pump rotates in the forward direction (clockwise). When
this contact is closed, the pump rotates in the reverse direction (counter-clockwise). The direction of rotation
may be changed while the pump is running, in which case the transition is immediate.
Pump Speed (Analog Input)
A DC voltage (0–5V) or a resistance (resistor or potentiometer) between pin 7 and ground can be used to change
the rotation speed as described below.
Voltage control: Effective Speed = (Selected Speed x Applied Voltage)/5 Volts
The Applied Voltage is expressed in Volts.
The Selected Speed is displayed before the Start/Stop input is activated.
The Effective Speed is displayed after the Start/Stop input is activated.
Resistance control: Effective Speed = (Reference Speed x Resistance)/(Resistance + 68)
The resistance is expressed in kOhms.
The Reference Speed is obtained with an infinite resistance (open circuit).
Control by Gilson Devices
Please refer to the respective technical manuals. For more details, please contact your local Gilson representative.
GSIOC Control
Gilson systems feature a two-way communication interface between the computer and most Gilson instruments.
Communication occurs along the Gilson Serial Input Output Channel (GSIOC).
Each instrument is identified by a unique unit ID, designated by a number between 0 and 63.
The default unit ID of the MINIPULS 3 is 30.
Using the computer and software, you:
• specify the instrument you want to control
• issue commands that set operating parameters, control operation, or request information from that instrument
GSIOC Commands
There are two kinds of commands that you can send over the GSIOC:
• Buered commands send instructions to the instrument. These commands are executed one at a time.
• Immediate commands request status information from the instrument. These commands are executed
immediately, temporarily interrupting other commands in progress.
For more information on GSIOC, refer to the GSIOC Technical Manual (part number LT2181).
Control Modes
The MINIPULS 3 offers two levels of digital control mode: Keypad and Remote.
The Keypad mode is the default. The MINIPULS 3 normally works through the keypad and responds
to immediate commands through GSIOC. It is similar to the local mode of some computer-controlled
devices.
In the Remote mode, the keypad is locked and the unit receives commands and key-codes from the
GSIOC. Contact inputs are disabled.

alphabetical order. This list may be used as a quick
reference guide.
A detailed description of each command is provided.
The default response given in some of the following
descriptions is the response returned by the
MINIPULS 3 when an immediate command is sent
at power on, or after a master reset. The response
to a buffered command is a period (.).
Because the controller command buffer is 40
characters long, buffered command strings can be
as long as 39 characters, the last character being the
CR (Carriage Return) ASCII code.
