ACF5000 FTIR ANALYZER SYSTEM | OI/ACF5000-EN REV. A 177
Status message categories
Status message categories
In terms of operator reaction, there are three categories of status messag-
es:
Status messages not requiring acknowledgement
Status messages requiring acknowledgement
Status messages requiring acknowledgement and troubleshooting
Status messages not requiring acknowledgement
The analyzer system operates normally after the status has been cleared.
When the status is cleared, the status signal is reset and the status message
disappears.
Example: Temperature error during the warm-up phase.
Status messages requiring acknowledgment
The instrument operates normally after the analyzer system has been
cleared; however, the operator must be informed of the status. When the
status is cleared, the status signal is reset. The status message disappears
as soon as the operator has acknowledged it. The operator is thus informed
about the malfunction of the analyzer system.
Example: No new measured values from the analog/digital converter.
Status messages requiring acknowledgment and intervention
The analyzer system may not operate normally after the status has been
cleared; the operator must therefore acknowledge the status and eliminate
the cause of the status message. The status signal is reset and the status
message disappears as soon as the operator has acknowledged it, and the
cause of the status message has been eliminated.
Example: The offset drift between two adjustments exceeds the permissible
range.
