Agilent 6890 Gas Chromatograph Service Manual
Fault 238—Faulty line interrupt. Thermal shutdown.
Status message:  Line interrupt
The electronics on the main board are not functioning correctly or there is 
an excessive amount of noise in the power supply to the instrument. Power 
will be shut off to the oven and other heated zones. The 6890 GC will not be 
ready.
❐ Turn the 6890 GC off and then on again. If the problem was caused by 
noise in the power supply, the instrument will operate normally again. 
If the error persists, the main board must be replaced.
❐ See  Fault 221—Thermal shutdown (status message).
Fault 239—Mux ADC thermal shutdown
Status message:  No mux ADC response
The multiplexor, which processes the 6890 GC electronic signals, is not 
functioning. Most likely, the multiplexor’s circuitry is defective. Power will be 
shut off to the oven and other heated zones. The 6890 GC will not be ready.
❐ The main board must be replaced.
❐ See  Fault 221—Thermal shutdown (status message).
Fault 240—Mux ADC thermal shutdown
Status message:  Mux ADC offset value
The multiplexor, which processes the 6890 GC electronic signals, is not 
functioning. Most likely, the multiplexor’s circuitry is defective. Power will be 
shut off to the oven and other heated zones. The 6890 GC will not be ready.
❐ The main board must be replaced.
