Overpressure in nano acquity

Options
Hi all,
I have connected a new nano LC 25 cm, BEH, c18 column, we were in the process of equilibration of the column with the following parameters: flow rate: 0.3 ul/min, with 100% ACN showed a pressure of 4100psi (was done for 10 column volume), with 80:20::ACN:Water showed 5200psi (was done for 10 column volume) and when it was put for 50:50::ACN: Water, it showed an overpressure. Before attaching the column we had done set pressure diagnostics by blocking the analytical inlet which passed the test. 
Please, can anyone help in this regard?

    Hi,

    May I ask what year you purchased your M-Class?  Older models had a max back pressure of 10k (which a 50:50 ACN: Water mix could be from mathematical calculation).  Newer models max out at 15k.
