DigitalFlow™ XGM868i Service Manual 15
Chapter 2. Error Codes
E4: Signal Quality
Problem: The signal quality is outside the limits programmed in the Channelx-Set up-Signal submenu of the
Keypad Program.
Cause: The peak of the upstream or downstream correlation signals has fallen below the correlation peak limit, as
set in the Channelx-Set up-Signal submenu. This may be caused by a flowcell or electrical problem.
Action: Check for sources of electrical interference and verify the integrity of the electronics console by
temporarily substituting a test flowcell that is known to be good. Check the transducers and relocate them,
if necessary. See Chapter 3, Diagnostics, for further instructions.
E5: Amplitude Error
Problem: The signal amplitude exceeds the limits programmed in the Channelx-Set up-Signal submenu of the
Keypad Program.
Cause: Excessive levels of an attenuating gas, such as CO
2
, may be present in the flowcell. Solid or liquid
particulates may be present in the flowcell.
Action: Refer to Chapter 3, Diagnostics, to correct any flowcell problems.
E6: Cycle Skip, Accel.
Problem: The acceleration exceeds the limits programmed in the Channelx-Set up-Signal submenu of the Keypad
Program.
Cause: This condition is usually caused by poor flow conditions or improper transducer alignment.
Action: Refer to Chapter 3, Diagnostics, to correct any flowcell and/or transducer problems.
E7: Analog Out Error
Problem: The current in the analog output circuit exceeds the limits for the analog output port.
Cause: The output load exceeds the specified limits for the analog output port.
Action: Make sure the output load is <600 ohms for the Slot 0 analog outputs or is <1,000 ohms for an analog
outputs option card in Slot 1.
E8: Temperature In
Problem: This message indicates a temperature input error.
Cause: The temperature exceeds the specified limits for the analog/RTD inputs option card or no input device is
connected.
Action: Check the temperature transmitter and the connecting cable. Refer to Chapter 1, Calibration, and
recalibrate the analog/RTD inputs option card.
