What to do if I see an Internal error Alarm on my Ametek IPS-4 Measuring Instruments?
If the analyzer has detected a serious malfunction, check all of the ribbon cables between boards to ensure they are properly connected and inspect them for any damage such as cuts, nicks, or burn marks. Refer to the Electronics Enclosure Wiring Diagram in the Appendix for cable connection locations.
Why am I getting a Manifold pressure Alarm on my Ametek Measuring Instruments?
If the manifold pressure within your Ametek Measuring Instruments exceeds its full-scale range by more than 10 psia, check the User Interface Panel to ensure the full-scale range is correct for the current sample. If the alarm persists during normal operation, a range change and recalibration may be required, so contact the factory.
What causes Aspirator pressure Alarm in Ametek Measuring Instruments and how to fix it?
If the pressure within the aspirator of your Ametek Measuring Instruments exceeds its full-scale range by more than 10 psia, verify that the full-scale range is correct for the current sample using the User Interface Panel. If the Aspirator pressure alarm continues during normal operation, contact the factory, as a range change and recalibration may be needed.
What should I do if Pressure transducer 2 Alarm appears on my Ametek IPS-4 Measuring Instruments?
If the concentration of the output from Pressure transducer 2 in your Ametek Measuring Instruments exceeds its full-scale range by more than 10 psia, check that the full-scale range is correct for the current sample from the User Interface Panel. If the alarm persists during normal operation, contact the factory because a range change and recalibration may be required.
How to troubleshoot Heater Temperature Alarm on Ametek IPS-4 Measuring Instruments?
To resolve a Heater Temperature Alarm on your Ametek Measuring Instruments, first take safety precautions, then open the Electronics Enclosure and the Oven/Sample System Enclosure doors. Use an Ohm Meter to measure the resistance of the Oven Heater Plate RTD and test it for an open circuit. If the RTD is faulty, contact AMETEK for assistance.
What to do if I get Failed communications to the Analog board Alarm on my Ametek Measuring Instruments?
If the MCU board cannot establish reliable communications with the Analog board in your Ametek Measuring Instruments, check the ribbon cable (Cable 3) between these boards. Ensure it is properly connected and inspect it for any damage, such as cuts, nicks, or burn marks.
How to fix Failed communications to the Relay board Alarm on Ametek Measuring Instruments?
If the MCU board cannot establish reliable communications with the Relay board on your Ametek Measuring Instruments, check the flat cable (Cable 3) between the MCU board and Relay board for proper connections and inspect it for damage (cuts, nicks, burn marks, etc.).
Why is my Ametek IPS-4 Measuring Instruments showing an Oven Temperature Alarm?
If the Oven temperature of your Ametek Measuring Instruments is operating below or above its set point value by more than 5 °C, check the current operating temperatures for each temperature zone and compare them to their set point temperatures using the User Interface Panel.
