    Help with VarioS pump programming

    Hello there. I'm confused as to the programming for the varios pump. I just want to run the pump at 100% and then slow it to 20% for feeding. Can anyone shed some light? I'd appreciate it.

    Thank you! I was making it more complicated than it had to be.

    That's for the actual outlet, right? Do I still need to create a profile to attach to the vdm?

    No that is for the VDM.

    I just updated the firmware and saw some new features and was confused. So now you can just put the actual speed you want there.

    Yep. Some people still use ramps because it soft starts the pump and can extend its life a tad, but if you want simple and have the latest fw then you can just type percentages.

    Thanks again! So I guess no need for a fallback for the vdm since I already have it on the physical outlet. Is that correct?

    You can use fallback on a VDM your choice is either 100% or OFF. Base unit ports fallback doesn't do anything.
