How to solve temperature problems with ABB Measuring Instruments?
The assemblies in the analyzer cabinet should reach their target temperatures after approximately 2 hours, and the gas sampling probe after 3 to 4 hours. To address temperature issues, reduce air movement around the analyzer system and install shielding against drafts. Also, protect the analyzer system from cold and heat sources such as the sun, ovens, and boilers.
What to do if the ABB ACF5000 Measuring Instruments analyzer is in fail-safe mode?
If your ABB Measuring Instruments analyzer is in fail-safe mode, which can be caused by the flame temperature exceeding the detector set point by more than 220°C, hardware errors, or a Pt100 line break or short-circuit, switch the power supply off and back on after approximately 3 seconds. If the status message recurs, notify service.
Why flame does not ignite in ABB Measuring Instruments?
If the flame does not ignite in your ABB Measuring Instruments, it may be due to air in the combustion gas line. When connecting or replacing the combustion gas bottle, make sure that no air penetrates into the combustion gas supply line. In this case, ignition of the flame must be restarted: Menu ? Service/Test ? Analyzer Spec. Adjustment ? Standby/Restart FID.
What to do if the system configuration could not be loaded on ABB Measuring Instruments?
