Power Supply Indicator

The power supply indicator is integrated into the main power switch. When the indicator is illuminated (green) the power is ON.

When the indicator is off, the module is turned OFF. Otherwhise check power connections, availability of power or check functioning of the power supply.

Pump Status Indicator

The Pump status indicator indicates one of four possible instrument conditions:

When the status indicator is OFF (and power switch light is on), the quaternary pump is in a prerun condition, and is ready to begin an analysis.

A green status indicator, indicates the quaternary pump is performing an analysis (run mode).

A yellow indicator indicates a not-readycondition. The quaternary pump is in a not-ready state when it is waiting for a specific condition to be reached or completed (for example, immediately after changing a setpoint), or while a self-test procedure is running.

An error condition is indicated when the status indicator is red. An error condition indicates the quaternary pump has detected an internal problem which affects correct operation of the quaternary pump. Usually, an error condition requires attention (for example, leak, defective internal components). An error condition always interrupts the analysis.

A flashing yellow status indicator indicates that the module is in its resident mode. Call your local service provider for assistance upon observing this error condition.

A flashing red status indicator indicates a severe error during the startup procedure of the module. Call your local service provider for assistance upon observing this error condition.
