332  AO2000 CONTINUOUS GAS ANALYZERS  |  OI/AO2000-EN REV. B 
Gas analyzer: Troubleshooting 
Blinking measurement value readout 
Measured signal overshoots measurement range limits 
Note: Measured value > +130 % of MRS or measured value < −100 % of MRS. 
Additionally, status messages 344 or 345 are generated. 
Blinking --E-- alternately in measurement value readout 
Problem in measured signal processing 
• View status messages.
• Identify cause and repair.
Blinking --E-- in mA value readout 
Problem in output current circuit 
• Identify cause (e.g. line break) and repair.
Flow error 
External gas lines or filter contaminated, clogged up or leaky 
• Disconnect gas analyzer from the gas conditioning system.
• Blow compressed air through gas lines or mechanically clear them.
• Exchange filter elements and filter beds.
• Check gas lines for seal integrity.
Gas feed paths in the gas analyzer kinked or leaky 
• Disconnect gas analyzer from the gas conditioning system.
• Check whether the gas lines in the analyzer module or to the pneumatic
module are kinked or have become detached from the connections.
• Check the seal integrity (see page 268) of the analyzer module gas paths
and (if applicable) of the lines to the pneumatics module.
Sample gas flow rate conditions 
Analyzer module  Sample gas flow rate 
Caldos25  10 to 90 l/h  (for option T90 < 6 s: max. 90 to 200 l/h) 
Caldos27  10 to 90 l/h  min. 1 l/h 
Fidas24  80 to 100 l/h  with atmospheric pressure (1000 hPa) 
Fidas24 NMHC  80 to 100 l/h  with atmospheric pressure (1000 hPa) 
Limas11 IR  20 to 100 l/h 
Limas21 UV  20 to 100 l/h 
Limas21 HW  20 to 90 l/h 
Magnos206  30 to 90 l/h 
Magnos28  30 to 90 l/h 
Magnos27  20 to 90 l/h 
Uras26  20 to 100 l/h 
ZO23  5 to 10 l/h  The flow rate must be kept constant to 
±0.2 l/h in this range. The sample gas 
must be taken from a bypass at zero 
pressure.
