Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Pump Self Test Pump Self Test The Pump Self Test combines a Pump Leak Rate Test with several consecutive System Pressure Tests to determines the leak rates at various positions in the flow path of the Quaternary Pump. During the test either the leak rate or the flow restriction is determined, according to the run protocol, which can be configured during the test setup.
Page 116
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Pump Self Test Pump Leakage: The pump leakage is measured when any of the other leakage tests is selected. First, a full pump leak rate test is run, which can be limited to the maximum allowed system pressure. After that a pressure test is performed. Mixer Leakage: Determines the leakage at the mixer (if installed).
Page 117
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics Pump Self Test Preparations: 1 Flush the system with HPLC grade water for several minutes from any solvent channel. 2 Start the Pump Self Test and choose the test you want to test the system with. The pressure will automatically adjust to best fit your system. 3 Choose if you want to use a blank nut or the sampler (only certain modules) to block the pump.

Boot-Resident Firmware update procedures may require this mode in case of firmware loading errors (main firmware part).
Hardware Information Early Maintenance Feedback Early Maintenance Feedback Maintenance requires the exchange of components that are subject to wear or stress. Ideally, the frequency at which components are exchanged should be based on the intensity of use of the module and the analytical conditions, and not on a predefined time interval.
Hardware Information Instrument Layout Instrument Layout The industrial design of the module incorporates several innovative features. It uses Agilent’s E-PAC concept for the packaging of electronics and mechanical assemblies. This concept is based upon the use of expanded polypropylene (EPP) layers of foam plastic spacers in which the mechanical and electronic boards components of the module are placed.
