ACF5000 FTIR ANALYZER SYSTEM | OI/ACF5000-EN REV. A 191
Analyzer system: Troubleshooting
Display of measured value flashes
Measured signal exceeds measuring range limits
Note: Measured value > +130% MRS or measured value < −100% MRS. In addi-
tion, the status messages 344 or 345 are generated.
Display of measured value flashes alternating with --E--
Error in measured signal processing
View status messages.
Search and rectify fault cause.
Only mA display flashes alternating with --E--
Fault in the output current circuit
Search and rectify fault cause (e.g. line break).
Flow error
External gas lines or filters soiled, blocked or leaking
Disconnect analyzer system from the gas processing system.
Blow gas lines with compressed air or penetrate them mechanically.
Replace filter inserts and fillings.
Check gas lines for leakproofness:
Gas paths in analyzer system kinked or leaking
Disconnect analyzer system from the gas processing system.
Check whether the gas lines in the analyzer system are kinked or have
become detached from the connections.
Temperature problem
Analyzer system still in the warm-up phase
The assemblies in the analyzer cabinet reach their target temperatures
after approx. 2 hours. The gas sampling probe reaches its target tem-
perature after 3 to 4 hours.
Excessive air movement
Reduce air movement around the analyzer system.
Install shielding against drafts.
Ambient temperature outside of permissible range
Protect the analyzer system from cold and heat sources such as the sun,
ovens and boilers.
Observe climatic conditions:
Ambient temperature for storage and transport −25 to +65°C
Ambient temperature during operation
with built-in fan (option) +5 to +30°C
With built-in air conditioner (option) +5 to +45°C
Relative humidity during operation
Annual average max. 75%
briefly max. 95%
Seldom and slight condensation permissible if the analyzer system is
switched on and the FTIR spectrometer is purged.
