Media-Mate Plus Operation Manual 25-710-800-OFill Time SettingSee Figure 5-3.The Fill Time Setting determines the amount of time the system will allocate to the Fill Cycleand is dependent on the Delivery Volume Setting. The amount of time allocated must besufficient to fill the measure vessels 50-100 mL above the Fill Tube slot. The Fill Time is setby adjusting the Fill Time Thumbwheel located on the Control Panel.Low to Moderate Viscosity Media:1. Start by setting the Fill Time to the value that corresponds to the Volume Setting in thetable below.Vol. Setting, mL 250 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000Fill Time, sec 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 802. Run a Test Cycle (see Section 7 – “Test Cycle”) while observing the measure vesselsduring the Fill Cycle to see where the fill level is with respect to the Fill Tube slot. The testmedia must have the same approximate viscosity as the Dissolution Media that will beused.3. If the actual Fill Level is too high, reduce the Fill Time. If the actual Fill Level is too low,increase the Fill Time.4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until the desired characteristics are achieved.High Viscosity Media:For high viscosity media it may be necessary to set the Volume Adjustment to one half thedesired delivery volume and run two cycles.1. Set Volume Adjustment to one half the desired delivery volume.2. Set the Fill Time to two times the value that corresponds to the Volume Setting in the tableabove.3. Run a Test Cycle (see Section 7 – “Test Cycle”) while observing the measure vesselsduring the Fill Cycle to see where the Fill Level is with respect to the Fill Tube slot. Thetest media must have the same approximate viscosity as the Dissolution Media that willbe used.4. If the actual Fill Level is too high, reduce the Fill Time. If the actual Fill Level is too low,increase the Fill Time.5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until the desired characteristics are achieved.Section 7 Operating Instructions 25
