Align Refill Switch Mode: The signal that initiates the refill phase can be displayed during power-up by pressing and holding the PRIME and the UP-ARROW buttons when the power is switched on. Release the buttons when the display displays "rFL". When the slotted disk allows the light beam to pass from the emitter to the detector on the slotted optical switch a pulse will be generated which signals the beginning of refill. When this pulse occurs the three horizontal segments displayed at the top of the display will turn off and the three horizontal segments at the bottom of the display will turn on. To exit this mode, press the RUN/STOP button.
Serial Port Loopback Test Mode: If an external device will not communicate to the pump via the serial port, the serial port loopback test can be used to verify that the serial port is functioning properly. During power-up press and hold the UP-ARROW and the DOWN- ARROW buttons when the power is switched on and then release the buttons. The display must display "C00" for the first half of the test to pass. Plug in the serial port loop back plug (A modular plug with pins 2 & 5 jumpered together and pins 3 & 4 jumpered together.). The display must read "C11" for the second half of the test to pass. To exit this mode, press the RUN/STOP button.
3.5Rear Panel Remote Input
An RS-232 modular jacks are provided on the back panel. A computer, with appropriate software, can be used as a remote controlling device for pump operation via this connection.
See Appendix A for details on connection and operation.
3.6Symbols
The following symbols may appear on back panel of the unit:
Caution: To avoid chemical or electrical hazards, always observe safe laboratory practices while operating this equipment.
Caution: To avoid electrical shock and possible injury, remove the power cord from the back panel of this equipment before performing any type of service procedures.
Note: The user shall be made aware that, if equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

1.1.4 Self-Flushand Seal Life
It is recommended that the Self Flush feature be used to improve seal life in a number of applications. In particular, as stated above if pumping Buffers, Acids/Bases or any inorganic solution near saturation, the pump should utilize the Self Flush feature. With every piston stroke, an extremely thin film of solution is pulled back past the seal. If this zone is dry without use of Self Flush, then crystals will form with continuous operation, which will ultimately damage the seal

3.1.1Control Panel
Non-volatileMemory Reset If the pump is operating erratically, there is the possibility that the memory has been corrupted. To reset the memory and restore the pump to its default parameters, press and hold the UP-ARROWbutton when the power is switched on. Release the button when the display reads rES. The parameters stored in non-volatilememory, i.e., the flowrate, the pressure compensation, the voltage/frequency select, the lower pressure limit, and the upper pressure limit will be set to the factory default values. The head type setting is the only parameter not changed by the non-volatilememory reset function. If the firmware is upgraded to a newer version, a non- volatile memory reset will automatically occur the first time the power is switched on

5.2.2 Cleaning the Pump Head Assembly
1.Inspect the piston seal cavity in the pump head. Remove any foreign material using a cotton swab, or equivalent, and avoid scratching the sealing surfaces. Repeat for the self-flushhousing. Be sure no fibers from the cleaning swab remain in the components
3.If the check valves have been removed, tighten the check valves on stainless steel pumps to 75 inch-poundsor enough to seal at maximum pressure. Do not exceed maximum torque. For Bioclean PEEK pumps, tighten each check valve firmly by hand. Do not go ¼ turn past finger tight
5.2.3 Replacing Piston Seals
Lower than normal pressure, pressure variations, and leaks in the pumping system can all indicate possible problems with the piston seal. Depending on the fluid or mobile phase used, piston seal replacement is often necessary after 1000 hours of running time
1.Remove the pump head as described in Section 5.2.1. Use caution so as not to damage the sapphire piston

A.2.1 Pressure Fault and Motor Stall Fault Output
A4-pinterminal board connector and a 10-pinterminal board connector are provided on the back panel. Any device capable of providing the proper run/stop logic level, flowrate control frequency, or flowrate control voltage can be used as a remote controlling device for pump operation via this connection. The terminal board connectors can be removed for ease of connecting wires, if desired, by pulling firmly rearward and should be reinserted firmly afterward
A.2.2 General Information on Inputs
the EVENT 1 terminal and the EVENT 2 and EVENT 3 terminals is affected. EVENT 2 is Normally Closed connected to EVENT 1 until a fault occurs and then opens. EVENT 3 is Normally Open not connected to EVENT 1 until a fault occurs and then closes
A.2.4 Run and Stop Inputs
The PUMP-RUN, PUMP-STOP,and ENABLE IN inputs operate from an internal 5 VDC source and each one draws approximately 0.008 amps when connected to COM. To activate either the PUMP- RUN, PUMP-STOP,or ENABLE IN input connect it to COM. Any device capable of switching 0.008 amps can be connected between the PUMP-RUN, PUMP-STOP,or ENABLE IN input and COM, such as: a switch contact, a relay contact, an open collector output, an open drain output, or any output with a high logic level output of 3.8 to 6.0 volts and a low logic level output of 0.0 to 0.5 volts. A switch contact or a relay contact is preferred since this type of connection will provide isolation between the pump and the controlling device. The COM terminal is internally connected to the pumps chassis ground and should be connected to the controlling devices ground or zero volt terminal when the controlling device has an open collector output, an open drain output, or any output with logic level output
A.2.4 Enable Input
When activated ENABLE IN is at a low logic level, the ENABLE IN input disables flowrate control on the front panel and enables flowrate control on the back panel
