3.5.3 Analyser State
This displays the status of various parameters that affect instruments.
This field enters a screen with a log of all the events that the
instrument has performed. These events include calibrations,
errors, background measurements and warnings. This log is stored
on the removable USB flash memory.
This field displays the firmware version currently in use on this
analyser. This can be important when performing diagnostics and
reporting back to the manufacturer.
This field displays the instrument model number.
This field displays the PCB board version.
This field displays the time and date of the last power failure (or
when power was disconnected from the analyser).
3.5.4 Status
The Status Menu presents a list of the current Pass/Fail statuses of the main components. During
warm-up, the status of some parameters will be a dashed line.
This field is visible with the next service due date, if the instrument
is due for service within the next two weeks.
Pass if the cell temperature is within ± 10% of the heater set point
(refer to Section 3.5.9).
Pass if the valve manifold temperature is within ± 10% of the
heater set point (refer to Section 3.5.9).
The converter temperature should be 325 °C. It must be between
250°C and 350°C to pass.
Status of the PMT cooler (must be 13°C ± 10% to pass).
Indicates whether the instrument has acceptable sample flow
(based on the difference in pressure between the manifold and
ambient pressures).
A reference voltage is monitored by the analog to digital converter
IC; this field will display a pass if the voltage is within acceptable
limits.
Displays whether the chassis temperature is within the acceptable
limits (0-50°C).
