What to do if BARTEC BENKE Measuring Instruments show implausible values?

  curtislopezAug 7, 2025
  If you're getting implausible values or the reproducibility of your measuring results decreases with your BARTEC BENKE Measuring Instruments, it could be due to several reasons. An alarm may have caused the measuring value output to reset to the initial value, so remove the cause of the alarm and carry out a reset. Check for errors in the sample conditioning system such as contamination, water, incorrect temperature, or gas in the product, and ensure the product is conditioned as specified in the technical data. Inspect the test filter for soiling and clean it if necessary. Also, verify the vacuum level at the vacuum pressure gauge and adjust it using the pressure controller if needed. Finally, a valve may be out of order, in which case you should replace the respective valve.

Why BARTEC BENKE Measuring Instruments analyzer is off and overpressure control display is absent?
- T
  Tiffany HudsonAug 14, 2025
  If your BARTEC BENKE Measuring Instruments analyzer is switched off or doesn't start and the display of overpressure control is not present, the issue might stem from an interrupted power supply, possibly due to a broken or blown fuse. Check and restore the power supply. Another potential cause is a faulty overpressure control system fusing, so remove the cause of the malfunction.

  If your BARTEC BENKE Measuring Instruments analyzer is switched off or doesn't start, but the display of overpressure control is present, it could be due to several reasons: the overpressure control system may have switched off the analyzer or cannot start it; internal fuses might be faulty or blown; the power supply to the I/O board could be interrupted, or the I/O board itself may be faulty; or the instrument air supply may be interrupted. In each case, remove the cause of the malfunction.

Why BARTEC BENKE Measuring Instruments show no Ready signal?
- A
  austinlarryAug 29, 2025
  If you're not getting a 'Ready' signal or a measuring result over a longer period of time with your BARTEC BENKE Measuring Instruments, it could be because the analyzer is switched off. Additionally, the PACS might be in “Standby” or “Shutdown” state, or not operating at all. Unsuitable parameter settings could also be the cause. Another reason may be the interrupted cable connection to the analyzer; in this case, remove the cause of the malfunction.
