There are five different types of errors that are detected and recorded in the
error stack:
Reagent supplies, UV lamp, and pump tubing status,
Operating temperature of the instrument,
Problems with the DI water loop and conductivity sensors,
Electronics and software problems,
RAM card malfunctions or warnings.
A complete listing of possible error messages is given in Table 10. If no errors
have occurred, selecting the error stack will display the message "NO
ERRORS RECORDED".
There are two levels of messages:
• ERRORS are the most serious and generally will stop TOC
measurements and may display a fatal error message. Corrective
action must be taken before the analyzer can resume normal
operation; however, pressing any key will restart the analyzer.
• WARNINGS will not stop TOC measurements, but these may
indicate that corrective action is required to prevent analyzer
shutdown or loss of data.
