8.3 Indicators on the operator panel
8.3.1 Status field red - “Stand-By“
When a malfunction occurs, MCS100FT switches automatically to “Stand-by”.
In this state:
● MCS100FT status field is red.
● A status signal is set.
● The sample gas path (including sampling probe) is purged with instrument air.
● For FID-100FT: The FID-100FT fuel gas supply is switched off.
● A relevant error message is displayed on the operator panel and entered in the logbook
(
 p. 62, §5.7.8.2).
 Correct the malfunction or have it corrected by trained personnel.
If it was possible to correct the malfunction without switching the MCS100FT off (e.g.
clearing a jam when the “sample gas flow” malfunction occurred), the MCS100FT auto-
matically switches back to Measuring mode.
8.3.2 “Current menu level” is red
When the current menu level is highlighted red:
The connection from MCS100FT resp. FID-100FT to SCU is interrupted.
1 Touch several times until the menu selection (
 p. 35, §5.5) appears and then select
the menu of the analyzer or SCU involved.
The SCU and the MCS100FT or the FID-100FT regain contact.
If the connection is not established:
– Check connection between MCS100FT resp. FID-100FT and SCU.
– Restart the SCU (
 p. 35, §5.5.1).
8.3.3 Time / date displayed is incorrect
When the time on the operator panel is wrong after every switch-on:
The battery in the SCU is empty.
Have the battery replaced by SICK Customer Service.
