EMPV Test
Description
The test is designed to verify the performance of the EMPV. The test must 
always be done when the EMPV valve is exchanged. The test should also be 
done if column flow stability problems occurs (micro mode only).
The EMPV test is not a substitute for the leak test or pressure test. The leak 
and pressure tests should also be done when leaks within the pump heads 
might be the problem.
Step 1 The test starts with a short flushing sequence and a cleaning procedure for the 
EMPV.
Step 2 Afterwards, low and high pressure is controlled by the EMPV and the 
appropriate current is monitored.
Step 3 Finally, a linear pressure ramp is performed.
Running the test
1 Select the ChemStation’s Diagnosis screen; from the nano pump tests 
selection box, select “Micro Mode Pressure Test”.
