Prime solvents
Displays the Prime Solvent dialog box and allows for manual changeover or
refreshing of solvent. Solvents are automatically shunted to waste.
Prime seal
wash
Starts priming the seal wash which lubricates the plungers, fills the tubing
paths with solvent and flushes away solvent and or any precipitated salts that
have been dragged past the plunger seals from the high-pressure side of the
piston chambers.
Wash plungers
Initiates the plunger-wash sequence, which fills and then slowly empties the
primary and accumulator chambers (with the current solvent composition)
while performing a high speed/volume seal wash. This action helps prevent
precipitate buildup on the pump plungers. Such a buildup can damage the
high pressure seals.
Launch console
Launches the console software.
Reset QSM
Resets the QSM following an error condition.
Help
Displays the console online Help.
Note:
If you are in a degasser pump down state, a separate degasser pump down status icon
