TEST COMPONENTS

the PUMP test. If the test passes, install a new pump tubing, cali-
brate the analyzer and resume operation. If the test fails, contact
your EasyStat dealer.

When there is no valve knob movement or partial valve knob move-
ment, press NO and FAIL is displayed. Repeat the VALVE test. If
the test fails again, the valve may have an obstruction. Refer to VALVE
MODULE in Troubleshooting and follow the instructions for valve mod-
ule obstructions.
