      Matthew JohnsonAug 13, 2025
      If your AMI Measuring Instruments analyzer is not powering up, ensure the power is properly connected and that you are using the correct version for your power supply. Also, verify that the power supply voltage is between 10V and 24VDC or 100V to 240VAC. Make sure the power plug is fully seated in its socket and that no whiskers or wires are shorting.

    Why is there no output alarm indication on my AMI Measuring Instruments analyzer?
    • C
      Carl CombsAug 21, 2025
      If your AMI Measuring Instruments analyzer shows no output alarm indication, verify that the alarm and alarm delay setpoints are correct. Also, confirm the Alarm Delay or Alarm Hold Off setting is correct. Check that the output wires are properly stripped and connected at their correct positions at their respective terminals.
