Warning
A Warning message means that a problem exists but that the problem will not
prevent the instrument from executing the run. The GC emits one beep and a
Warning message appears on the display. The GC can start the run and the
warning disappears when a run starts. The warning is not recorded in the run log.
Shutdown
Shutdown occurs when there is a hardware problem that could compromise the
safety of the user or damage the instrument. Before shutdown occurs, the GC
emits a series of warning beeps. After a length of time specific for the component
elapses, the component with the problem shuts down, the GC emits one beep,
and a warning message appears. The GC is still in a ready state. No additional
information appears under the [STATUS] key and the error is not recorded in
the run log.
Faults
Fault messages indicate hardware problems that require user intervention.
Depending on the type of error, the GC emits no beep or a single beep. The Not
Ready LED lights because the GC is unable to begin a run and an error message
appears. Press [STATUS] for more information. The error is recorded in the run
log.
Two faults can occur that shut down the entire GC; they are a pneumatics
problem for an inlet configured for hydrogen gas and a thermal runaway
condition for the GC oven. In these cases, the GC beeps continuously until you
press [Clear].
Bad mainboard and Fatal error messages
These messages almost always indicate that the mainboard is malfunctioning
and must be replaced. These messages are not numbered and usually appear
when the instrument is first turned on. See Table 24 for a list of messages. With
a few exceptions which are listed in the table, if you get a Bad mainboard or
Fatal error message, you will need to contact your Agilent service representative
to replace the board.
