Return to step 7
Diagnostic Gauges are available to monitor various instrument parameters. Many of these
parameters can be adjusted by the user without the need to call for Service assistance. If you
suspect a problem with the instrument use the gauges to check various instrument parameters.
If the gauge is in use the value should be in the Green band (Normal) or yellow band, (not ideal
but instrument will still function). Any values in the red band highlights a situation that needs
addressing.
Some values will be showing as “0” due to either not in use (i.e.: O
2
Option Gas) or Conditional,
i.e.: Plasma Gases and RF water Flow which won’t show in the green band until a plasma
ignition process has begun.
Go to “Dashboard” Page to view Gauges.
Click on “Gauge Select” to select a suite of gauges to monitor.
