Turning On the Pump

Vanquish Pumps (VH-P10) Operating Manual
TIP Before turning on the power to a Vanquish system module for the
first time, verify that the chromatography software is installed on the
data system computer. When the power is turned on, the required USB
drivers are automatically found and the Windows® operating system can
detect the device.
To turn on the power to the pump, follow these steps:
1. Check that the power button on the front left of the Vanquish
system base (system power button) is pressed in. If the power
button stands out, press the power button to turn on the power on
the system base.
2. Turn on the pump with its main power switch.
Turn the pump off with the main power switch, when instructed to do
so, for example, during maintenance. Pressing the system power button
will not be sufficient to turn off the power to the device completely.
Whenever the power to the pump is turned on, the following sequence
of events occurs:
•
The pump performs a self-test.
If the self-test is not successful, the status indicators are red and the
pump is not ready for analysis. Check the Chromeleon Audit Trail for
the related message and take appropriate remedial action.
•
The pump starts operation with a seal wash cycle. Before turning on
the pump, check the liquid level in the seal wash reservoir. Consider
checking also the liquid level in the waste container.
For power on/off control during pump operation, see
page 86.
