Basics for operating the HPLC-Pump K-1001
Power On and Selftest
On power on the instrument displays HPLC PUMP MAXI-STAR, and the
VERSION of the software, e.g. 6.0X. The instrument performs a self test,
including firmware validation and tests of RAM and motor unit. After completion
the message

and the ID of the last active program is displayed.
Never run the HPLC Pump K–1001 without liquid in the pump head or in
the piston backflushing compartment. For piston backflushing, follow the
instructions given in chapter „Piston Backflushing“ on page 32. Operating
the pump without solvents may lead to damage of the pump seals.
