Error Messages
Shut-Down
An external instrument has generated a shut-down signal on the remote line.
The module continually monitors the remote input connectors for status 
signals. A LOW signal input on pin 4 of the remote connector generates the 
error message.
Remote Timeout
A not-ready condition is still present on the remote input.
When an analysis is started, the system expects all not-ready conditions (e.g. a 
not-ready condition during detector balance) to switch to run conditions 
within one minute of starting the analysis. If a not-ready condition is still 
present on the remote line after one minute the error message is generated.
Probable cause Suggested actions
1 Leak detected in another module with a CAN 
connection to the system.
Fix the leak in the external instrument before 
restarting the module.
2 Leak detected in an external instrument with 
a remote connection to the system.
Fix the leak in the external instrument before 
restarting the module.
3 Shut-down in an external instrument with a 
remote connection to the system.
Check external instruments for a shut-down 
condition.
Probable cause Suggested actions
1 Not-ready condition in one of the 
instruments connected to the remote line.
Ensure the instrument showing the not-ready 
condition is installed correctly, and is set up 
correctly for analysis.
2 Defective remote cable. Exchange the remote cable.
3 Defective components in the instrument 
showing the not-ready condition.
Check the instrument for defects (refer to the 
instrument’s reference documentation).
