Depends on whether you install the pump head you removed or a new one
A—Reinstalling the pump head you removed
Thoroughly purge the pump (pump heads and flow meter) ( → page 72).
B—Installing a new pump head
a) This step depends on the flow meter that is installed:
♦ If a Classic flow meter is installed
Run the Pressure Transducer Test ( → page 172). In step 2 of the test, always
select the Calibrate Anyway check box (even if calibration is not explicitly
recommended).
♦ If a ProFlow flow meter is installed
Run the Zero Balance Test ( → page 172).
b) Purge the pump head ( → page 73).
c) Close the flow meter outlet with a Viper fitting plug. Appropriate fitting plugs are
available in the accessories kit of the module.
d) Verify that the purge screws are closed.
e) In Chromeleon, perform the
CalibrateWP
command for the replacement pump head.
(The command appears in the Commands dialog box for the NC pump under
NC_Pump_Wellness_LeftBlock and/or NC_Pump_Wellness_RightBlock .)
Execution of the command takes about 30 seconds. A message appears
only if
an error
has occurred.
Note: A primary pressure of 90 MPa builds up during calibration.
If you have replaced both pump heads, repeat the steps above for the second pump head.
9. Purge the flow meter ( → page 75).
10. Visually check the NC pump for leakage while pressure builds up. If leakage occurs
for the NC pump, the message 'Cannot regulate flow' will appear on the pump display
( → page 149).
