Troubleshooting

27

Can the devices communicate with the computer, even though the 
router is disconnected from the company network?

5. Turn off all devices, router, and computer. Firstly, switch on the router and wait 

until its self-test is finished. Secondly, switch on the devices and the computer.

Has this been successful?

6. Replace the patch cable to the device with that no connection could be estab-

lished.

Has this been successful?

7. Make sure that the IP port of the device matches the port in the chromatogra-

phy software.

Possible Problems and Rectifications

Error

Solution

Device cannot be 
switched on

Inspect the power cable to ensure that it is 
plugged into the power supply.

When purging, the 
pump switches off.

Check if the venting screw on the pressure sen-
sor is turned up.

Pump does not 
transport solvent

Purge the pump head to remove the air bub-
bles.

Clean the ball valves.

Exchange the ball valves.

If the pump head seals are defective, solvent 
enters the piston backflushing; inform the 
technical support of the manufacturer.

Exchange the pump head

Pressure and flow 
rate variations

Purge the pump head to remove the air bub-
bles.

Let the pump run for 1 h.

Always tighten the inlet screw 1 and outlet 
screw 1 on the pump head with a torque 
wrench and 15 Nm.

Clean the ball valves.

Exchange the ball valves.

Exchange the pump head

Inform the Technical Support of the manufac-
turer.

Pump head leaks

Inspect the inlet and outlet screw fittings of 
the pump head.

If the seals are defective, eluent enters the 
piston backflushing; inform the Technical sup-
port of the manufacturer.

Exchange the pump head

Flow rate is not cor-
rect

Check the following options:

Check the data for the solvent compressibility

Cleaning the Check Valves

Exchange the ball valves
