7.2.3 Other Faults
Unexpected results obtained from sample
− Check that the microbore pressure hose has been fully connected at both the system and CMS ends.
NOTE: removing either hose from the CMS is not indicative of flow through the CMS as the hose end is
now at atmosphere. The pressure drop across the CMS should be verified, see section 6.1.2.1.
− Confirm that the flow through the CMS is within the range of the unit.
− High water / aeration levels
Remote Device dialogue not responding to buttons being pressed
− Check that correct COM port has been selected in the Remote Device dialogue.
− Check USB driver has been installed.
− Disconnect power supply to CMS and then reconnect it.
If the CMS has been subjected to excessive contamination and a blockage is suspected, a flush with a suitable
solvent may clear the blockage.
The standard CMS is fitted with Viton seals, so Petroleum Ether or Iso Propyl Alcohol may be used for this
purpose, in conjunction with the RMF Systems Bottle Sampling Unit. See flushing guidelines on supplied product
USB.
