How to fix flashing flow and warning triangle on Dr.Thiedig Analytical Instruments?
- C
  Christopher BauerAug 2, 2025
  If the flow is flashing and a warning triangle appears, it may be due to an incorrect Kf factor or a dirty/faulty flowmeter. Set the flow to about 10l/h using the regulating valve and check the value on the display. Try re-calibrating or cleaning the flowmeter by rinsing the analyzer block, or opening and cleaning the flowmeter. If the throughput displayed is lower than expected, the flowmeter is dirty or faulty. If the issue persists, contact our maintenance hotline.

What to do if I see an EEPROM-Error message on Dr.Thiedig Analytical Instruments?
- C
  cathy20Aug 6, 2025
  An "EEPROM-Error" message may appear due to simultaneous operation of the continuous logger in the Digox 6 and the online mode in DigoxWin. Try pressing or switching the unit off and on again. If the issue persists, contact our maintenance hotline, as the hardware is not designed for simultaneous operation. The error can also be caused by an EEPROM-Error at the processor board.

Why is the temperature flashing on my Dr.Thiedig Analytical Instruments display?
- A
  Angela EllisAug 10, 2025
  A flashing temperature display indicates that the feed line to the temperature sensor has been interrupted, or the temperature sensor is faulty. Check the proper seating of the sensor connector. If the problem continues, replace the temperature sensor.

How to resolve calibration errors A and B on Dr.Thiedig Analytical Instruments?
- A
  April BishopAug 14, 2025
  For calibration error A, set the correct flow to 10.0 l/h (tolerance: ± 0.5 l/h is permissible). For calibration error B, reduce the oxygen concentration in the sample to below 0.500 mg/l and start the calibration again.

What causes calibration errors C, D, and E on Dr.Thiedig Analytical Instruments?
- M
  millercalebAug 19, 2025
  Calibration error C (ZERO VALUE INSTABLE) indicates that the current measured between sec.15 and sec.20 deviates more than 5% with regard to the current measured between sec.0 and sec.5. Wait until the displayed measuring value is constant and start the calibration again. Calibration error D means that the temperature measured in sec.20 deviates more than 5% with regard to the temperature measured in sec.0. Wait until the sample temperature is stabilized and then start the calibration. Calibration error E indicates that the flow measured in sec.20 deviates more than 5% with regard to the flow measured in sec.0. Wait until the displayed flow is constant and then repeat the calibration.

What does it mean when I see a message after switching on my Dr.Thiedig Analytical Instruments unit?
- C
  Corey WallAug 23, 2025
  This message appears because the unit was switched off with a running continuous logger. Use the cursor keys to decide whether the data logger should continue.

How to establish a connection between Digox 6 and DigoxWin for Dr.Thiedig Analytical Instruments?
- A
  annecrawfordAug 27, 2025
  Check the interface cable, ensure the correct interface is selected on both the PC and in DigoxWin, verify that the baud rates are the same for both Digox 6 and DigoxWin, and confirm that you are using the correct DigoxWin version for your Digox 6 firmware. Always use the supplied software version with the respective analyzer.
