Repairing the Pump

Exchanging the Low Pressure Pump Main Board (LPM Board)

8Press the Execute (F8) key. Below the box, a reply line should then say: Reply RA 0000 TYPE "G1311A" .

9Turn off the module, then turn it on again. Turn on should be normal. In the Records screen, the product# column should indicate the quaternary pump. If a chemstation is also connected, re-boot it now.

Entering the Type Command using the ChemStation

The TYPE is entered by typing a specific command into the command line at the bottom of the main user interface screen.

1To enter the TYPE for a specific module, type the following command into the command line:

print sendmodule$(lpmp, "TYPE G1311A")

N O T E

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.

 

 

2The reply line will respond with RA 0000 Type "G1311A".

3Turn the quaternary pump off, then on again. Then, re-boot the ChemStation. Boot up and subsequent control of the system should be normal.

4The TYPE of a module can also be identified by typing the following command into the command line:

print sendmodule$ (lpmp, "TYPE?")

The reply line will give the module TYPE.

Entering the Serial Number

Entering the Serial Number using the Control Module

1Connect the control module to the quaternary pump. Turn on the pump.

2In the control module, press Views (F5) and select the system screen, then press Records (F4). Using the up/down arrows, make sure that the quaternary pump is highlighted.

3Press FW Update (F5). Now, press the m key. This will display a box which says Update Enter Serial#.
