KDS Allegro Peristaltic Pump System User’s Manual
Product Overview
The KD Scientific Allegro Peristaltic Pump System is the next generation of peristaltic pumps. The system
offers unparalleled ease of use through the high resolution color touch screen user interface. The full touch screen interface enables the user to quickly create configurations and recall them for easy use. The TFT color display presents all the pump operating parameters on an easy to view run screen.
The password feature prevents accidental configuration changes ensuring the program’s integrity is retained. Programs can also be set to be started on a time delay for unattended operation.
An led light on the front panel makes it easy to see if the pump is running. Once the pump starts to run, the display shows the pump is running and the LED turns on. This will make it easy to see the pump’s status.
The pumps are versatile and can be interconnected through the RS-485 interface. Allegro Peristaltic Pump System models can be mixed and matched in the daisy chain offering maximum flexibility. Up to 99 pumps can be linked together through the RS-485 interface. This interface is easy to use provided each pump is assigned its own unique pump address.
For limited laboratory space the Allegro Peristaltic Pump controller can be placed on its side to reduce the footprint. The display also tilts with the change to allow the user to operate the pump vertically. The pump heads can be stacked to save bench space.
Notifications and error messages are displayed for the user to acknowledge, eliminating any guesswork about problems.
Flow performance is optimized with a small step angle stepping motor. The tubing mechanism is easy to use and securely holds the tubing for smooth flow performance.
Advanced microstepping techniques are employed to further reduce the step angle to eliminate flow pulsation. A wide dynamic flow range can be programmed into the pump. Flow rates are selectable with user selected engineering units from L, ml, µl, nl and hours, minutes and seconds.
The superior design of the full metal chassis provides noise isolation and anti-vibration features for increased reliability.

KDS Allegro Peristaltic Pump System User’s Manual
Easy external connections to a computer or other control devices are made through USB interface. Simple ASCII commands make communication with the pump easy. For direct control of the pump, the user can use the I/O interface (15pin Dsub). A trigger output and a trigger input in for external events such as a process parameter is met. The footswitch input will allow the control of the pump through an external device. The unit also has an output for run indication allowing connection to a remote light.
The forward/reverse dispensing programmable model Allegro offers maximum flexibility and capability for configuring and running different programs. Multiple programs of 50 steps each can be configured and stored in the unit, and recalled quickly with the touch of a button. The programs are identified with a 15 character alphanumeric name for easy identification and can be stored on the computer and downloaded at future dates. A relative clock is available to start and stop programs based on time. Extensive programming options allow the user to duplicate configurations, append one configuration to another, rename programs, delete programs, export programs to a PC or export a program to another pump. This feature can ensure consistency and accuracy of multiple pumps.
Preprogrammed profiles include Constant Rate and Ramp. These standard profiles make configuration easy to set up. If more complexity is needed the user can select from advanced programming options including:
• Time delays
• Repeating steps
• Stopping the pump
• Triggering the pumps TTL output
• Accepting an event input in such as a user touch
• Events can trigger the pump to dispense in forward or reverse
The pump Information/setup screen shows the pump’s software version. The pump’s alarm configurability includes alarms for near end of run (user selectable), completion of run, power up, keypad clicks and stall detection.
