04_REACTION ERROR
(can also be programmed as a
warning condition)
No TOC (or TC) CO
2
peak detected or
the CO
2
peak is below the “CO2
LEVEL” for 3 consecutive reactions.
See Section 8.3.6 Reaction
Check for details.
Acid/Base containers are empty.
Acid/Base tube rail installed
incorrectly.
Acid/Base Pumps are faulty.
Delivery problem or air bubbles in
Acid/Base lines.
Mixer Reactor is not mixing.
Acid/Base reagents are at
incorrect strength.
Run pH Test (see Section 8.1.1.5
pH Test for details).
MFC flow did not drop below the
“PRESSURE TEST FAULT” level
during the pressure test cycle. See
Section 8.3.4.5 Pressure/Flow Test
Program for details.
Gas/liquid leak in the BioTector.
Valve leaking or not sealing.
Open Reactor Valve, inspect for
dirt/damage.
Check system fittings.
Check Mixer Reactor.
Run Pressure Test (see Section
8.1.1.1 Pressure Test for
details).
MFC flow did not drop below the
“PRESSURE CHCK FAULT” level
during the pressure check cycle for 3
consecutive reactions. See Section
8.3.4.5 Pressure/Flow Test Program
for details.
Gas/liquid leak in the BioTector.
Valve leaking or not sealing.
Open Reactor Valve, inspect for
dirt/damage.
Check system fittings.
Check Mixer Reactor.
Run Pressure Test (see Section
8.1.1.1 Pressure Test for
details).
Fault in CO
2
Analyzer.
Very dirty optics in CO
2
Analyzer.
Check CO
2
analyzer’s ppm CO
2
response in Simulate menu (see
Section 8.1.2 Simulate for
details).
Open CO
2
analyzer and clean the
optics.
Power down and power up the
BioTector.
If problem persists, check
outgoing 24V DC power to CO
2
analyzer on Motherboard at wires
N11 and N12.
For further tests, see information
sheet “T019. BioTector CO
2
Analyzer
Troubleshooting”, which is available in
the MMC/SD card shipped with the
BioTector.
