If you are experiencing a 'Communication with the gas control system cannot be established' error on your Ametek Measuring Instruments, turn off the instrument and restart it. If the problem persists, please contact the SPECTRO Service Department.
What causes nebulizer gas flow deviation in Ametek SPECTRO ARCOS FHX3X Measuring Instruments?
If you have 'Nebulizer gas flow deviation' in your Ametek Measuring Instruments, check the argon pressure and the plasma torch for leaks or blockages, and verify that all connections have been made correctly.
What to do if plasma stopped due to Dmb timeout in Ametek SPECTRO ARCOS FHX3X?
If you see 'Plasma stopped (Dmb timeout)' on your Ametek Measuring Instruments, turn off the instrument and restart it. If the problem continues, contact the SPECTRO Service Department.
What causes plasma ignition error in Ametek SPECTRO ARCOS FHX3X?
If you are experiencing 'Plasma ignition error' with your Ametek Measuring Instruments, try to restart the plasma up to three times. Check the plasma torch and the entire sample introduction system for leaks. Ensure that there is no moisture around the working coil and the plasma interface. If impurities have accumulated on the coil, clean it as described in the manual.
What to do if the MultiView blind plug has been disconnected in Ametek Measuring Instruments?
If you encounter 'The MultiView blind plug has been disconnected' in your Ametek Measuring Instruments, check the blind plug and its cable for proper fit.
What to do if spectrum calibration failed in Ametek SPECTRO ARCOS FHX3X?
If the spectrum calibration failed in your Ametek Measuring Instruments, use the correct sample if the wrong sample or preflush time was used. Check the measurement parameters. Repeat the spectrum calibration.
What to do for housing extraction system error in Ametek Measuring Instruments?
If you encounter a 'Housing extraction system error' with your Ametek Measuring Instruments, it means the extraction rate of the instrument is below the minimum. Check the extraction rate and adjust it to the values required in the operating manual.
What to do if no channel is visible in the plasma in Ametek Measuring Instruments?
If there is no channel visible in the plasma of your Ametek Measuring Instruments, optimize the nebulizer gas flow. If the nebulizer is clogged, clean it. Also, check the spray chamber outlet for leaks and eliminate them.
Why does plasma flicker or pulsate in Ametek Measuring Instruments?
If the plasma flickers or pulsates in your Ametek Measuring Instruments, clean and dry the plasma torch or replace it if there's moisture or deposits in the aerosol tube. If the aerosol pulsates due to deposits in the nebulizer, clean the nebulizer. Replacing the pump tube may also help.
How to fix sparkover at load coil in Ametek SPECTRO ARCOS FHX3X?
To address sparkover at the load coil in your Ametek Measuring Instruments, switch off the generator and dry the load coil with a paper towel if moisture is visible. If there is dirt on the load coil, switch off the generator and clean the load coil.
