Sp300v pump upgrade help

[Chris Wool]

where did it come from.

have not fitted one yet but i know on mine it needs the correct firmware update at the time of fitting.

It’s pretty easy – involves fitting a new bracket and some pipework modification.

Firmware is more to slow the motor down than anything else or you’ll hemorrhage ink.

Updating firmware is easy – but you need to have access to the service mode that is correct for your current version.

Got the stuff from digiprint supplies. Think my firmware is 7.10 I will check out the link and get back to you. Thanks

[Damian Blackburn]

When I enter service mode what do I change for the new pump? Where to the pipes go to? Thanks again

[David Rogers]

To be honest it’s been over 3 years since I did it…and have tossed all of the info.

Bought mine via Signmaster – and they sent / emailed a how to guide & talked though too.

Best contacting DIGI first…if they sell it, maybe they will provide backup (LOL).

There’s various settings buried in the pump parameters that need values set – none of which I can remember as I no longer run a 540v / cadet.

Literally 2 minutes’ work.

Here’s a picture of mine. The inlet tubes (coming from the capping stations) enter the pump at the bottom through the T piece.

The exit tube (to waste bottle) connects to the top of the pump (with one half of the T piece blocked off).

Sorry – Don’t know how to upgrade the firm ware, but as David says you will use more ink if this isn’t done (though it will not prevent you from using the machine meanwhile).

Thanks, that clears up the fitting side. Just don’t want to fit it until I know the settings to change. The picture helps loads though. I didn’t know the pump motor is turned 90 degrees.

[Damian Blackburn]

I noticed on the picture you have only one pipe coming out for the waste. Does it matter if you have two? Would it get rid of the ink better? Thanks

[Phill Fenton]

It wouldn’t make any difference. The flow rate is determined by the pump.
