Chapter 3. Diagnostics
3.3 Diagnostic Record
Upon leaving the Diagnostic Menu via the [EXIT] key or the EXIT option on the option bar, the display screen will 
continue to show the last diagnostic parameter that was selected. To return to normal measurement mode, select a 
channel to display (for a 2-Channel meter only) and then select the desired display parameter. See Chapter 3, 
Operation, of the Startup Guide for detailed instructions.
The values for the diagnostic parameters immediately after initial installation of the meter and verification of proper 
operation should be entered in Table 6 on page 39. These values can then be compared to future values to help diagnose 
any future malfunction of the system.
3.4 Flowcell Problems
If preliminary troubleshooting with the Error Code Messages and/or the Diagnostic Menu indicates a possible flowcell 
problem, proceed with this section. Flowcell problems fall into two categories:
• gas problems
• pipe problems.
Read the following sections carefully to determine if the problem is indeed related to the flowcell. If the instructions in 
this section fail to resolve the problem, contact the factory for assistance.
