What is pump run mode?
With the release of G7’s multi-gas pump cartridge, a new device mode is being introduced to accompany it. This mode is unique in that a pump cartridge is always required to use this mode, and it runs the pump continuously – such as for use in a hole-watch situation. Unlike the other modes, you will never be timed out and must exit it manually.
How to add pump run mode to a configuration profile
Pump run mode is enabled through G7’s configuration profile on Blackline Live.
-
- Navigate to the configurations page and select an existing configuration you want to enable this mode in, or create a new profile.
- Scroll to the modes tab. If you are editing an existing profile, select edit in the top right corner of the card.
- Click the blue ‘+’ button on the far right of the tabs in the mode card
- Select pump run in the pop-up modal and select change modes to confirm.
- Press save to confirm changes.
Ensure the devices you want to have access to this mode are included in the devices card of the configuration profile. If you need to change the devices in the configuration profile, select edit in the top right corner and select or unselect devices by clicking them.
How to access pump run mode from G7
There are two ways to change G7’s mode: through G7’s main menu, and through the secondary menu.
Ensure you have a multi-gas pump cartridge attached to G7 — if a pump cartridge is not attached, pump run mode will not be available.
Turning on pump run mode through the main menu
-
- Press OK twice to wake up G7’s screen and open the main menu
- Use the up and down arrows to navigate to the modes option, press OK to select
- G7’s available modes will be listed on the screen. Use the up and down arrows to scroll to pump run and press OK to select
- Press the up arrow to confirm your choice
- G7 will start a pump block test. Follow the instructions on G7’s screen.
Once the pump block test is passed successfully, G7 will enter pump run mode. G7’s main screen will invert to let you know your device is using a configuration mode.
In the case that the pump block test fails, G7 will not switch the pump run mode. G7 will return to normal mode, please check your tubing and try again.
Turning on pump run mode through the secondary menu
-
- When on G7’s main screen, press either the up or down arrow to access the secondary menu.
- Use the up and down arrows to scroll through G7’s enabled device modes. When pump run is displayed on G7’s screen, press OK to enter the mode.
- G7 will start a pump block test. Follow the instructions on G7’s screen.
If the block test passes, G7 will enter pump run mode. G7’s main screen will invert to let you know your device is using a configuration mode. If the pump block test fails, G7 will return to normal mode. You can check your tubing, and try entering pump run mode again.
How to exit pump run mode
Pump run mode does not have a timeout period, meaning G7 will never force you back into normal mode. In order to exit pump run mode and stop your pump, you will have to manually enter a different mode, such as normal, from G7’s main or secondary menu.
