Error Message/Problem
Cause
Solution
Flow block temp failure
Faulty heater or
temperature sensor
Refer to Section 7.4
Reaction cell temp failure
Faulty heater or
temperature sensor
Refer to Section 7.5
Analyser resetting
Multiple possibilities
1. Check that the instrument is not overheating.
2. Possibly a faulty power supply.
3. Corrupted firmware. Perform ‘erase all settings’ in
the Bootloader Menu and reload or upgrade
firmware.
12 Voltage supply failure
Power supply has failed
Replace power supply.
No display
AC power
1. Verify that the line cord is connected.
2. Check that the power supply fuse is not open. The
fuse should be 5A (115 V) or 3A (230 V).
3. Verify that the voltage switch is in the proper
position.
Contrast misadjusted
Adjust the display contrast by pressing two keys on
the front panel:
- Press up arrow () for darker contrast
- Press down arrow () for lighter contrast
DC power
Verify that the power supply is providing ± 12V +5V
DC.
Display
Check the interface cable between the display and
the microprocessor board.
Bad display or
microprocessor PCA
1. Replace the front panel display.
2. Replace the microprocessor board.
3. A bad cable is unlikely, but if you suspect it,
perform a pin-for-pin continuity test using an
ohmmeter.
Sample pressure
too high or too low
Loss of pressure
calibration
Too high - Re-calibrate pressure sensors.
Too low Check calibration and sample flow.
Sample flow not at 0.6
SLPM
Multiple possibilities
Check/replace sintered filter.
Check/replace sample filter.
Check pump.
Check valves.
Re-calibrate pressure sensors.
Unstable flow or pressure
readings
Faulty pressure sensors
Check pressure transducer calibration. If unable to
diagnose problem then it may be a noisy A/D
converter, replace main PCB.
Low span
Leaks
A leak in the analyser or calibration system dilutes
the sample stream and causes low span readings and
noise.
Span calibration out
Adjust the span using the calibration procedure.
