Use the Esc key to receive Views on the F5 key. Choose System from the

 

pull-down menu. Use the F3 key (Tests) to select the pump. Two tests are

 

available to test the Agilent 1100 pumps.

Leak Test

Press F1 (Leak Test) on the Test screen to perform a leak test. Several steps

 

like purging the system, setting up Isopropanol as solvent on channel D and

 

blocking the purge valve outlet with a blank nut have to be performed before

 

operating the leak test. For details use the ’i’-key to achieve conext sensitive

 

help, follow the instructions on the screen and refer to “Running the Leak

 

Test” on page 90. For evaluating the pressure test refer to “Evaluating the

 

Results” on page 92.
