N O T E

The main board is physically identical for the isocratic and the quaternary

 

pump. After the installation of a new mainboard the TYPE (isocratic or

 

quaternary) of the module is normally automatically detected. The specific

 

TYPE tells the pump how to configure itself during turn on. In some cases,

 

especially when a defective mainboard is replaced with an older version of

 

mainboard, the automatic TYPE detection does not work. When the TYPE of

 

the exchange main board does not match the pump, a pump configuration

 

error will occur during pump turn on. This will cause the pump status

 

indicator to be red. In this case the TYPE of the module has to be entered using

 

the procedure described in the following sections.

 

You must change the TYPE of the replacement main board to agree with the

 

 

quaternary pump (G1311A). The TYPE can be entered using either the

 

control module or the ChemStation, see “Entering the Type Command using

 

the Control Module” on page 134 or “Entering the Type Command using the

 

ChemStation” on page 135.

Entering the Type Command using the Control Module

1Connect the control module to the pump.

2From Views (press F5) select the System screen, then press Tests (F3).

3Using the up/down arrows, make sure that the quaternary pump is highlighted and press Enter. The Tests screen for the quaternary pump should now be displayed.

4While in the Tests screen, press m.m (m dot m). From the box now displayed, select the Command line, and press Enter.

5Into the box labeled Instr, enter the command TYPE G1311A.

6Letters and numbers are created using the up and down arrows. There must be a blank space between the word TYPE and the letter G.

It is important to enter the TYPE command correctly. An incorrect type

 

 

command may cause the module to turn on in it's resident mode. In such a

 

 

case, re-enter the TYPE command correctly.

 

 

 

 

7 When the command is entered, press Enter to highlight the complete

 

 

command.
