What to do if Thermo Scientific 42i Measuring Instruments does not start up?
- B
  barronrickeyAug 18, 2025
  If your Thermo Scientific Measuring Instruments unit doesn't start, there are several things to check: * **Power Source**: Ensure the instrument is correctly plugged into a suitable power source (115 or 220 VAC, 50 or 60Hz). * **Fuses**: Inspect the instrument fuses. * **Power Supply Voltages**: Use a digital voltmeter to check the voltages. * **Digital Electronics**: With the power cord unplugged, make sure all boards are properly seated. * **Faulty Board Isolation**: With the power cord unplugged, remove boards one by one, replacing each with a known good board to identify any faulty components.

What to do if Thermo Scientific Measuring Instruments has no output signal or very low output?
- B
  Brandon HinesAug 23, 2025
  If your Thermo Scientific Measuring Instruments unit is showing no output signal or a very low output, you should check these items: * **Sample Gas Flow**: Verify that the sample gas is reaching the analyzer by checking the input sample flow. * **Pump Diaphragm**: If the pump diaphragm is ruptured, rebuild the pump head. * **Sample Capillary**: Unplug the power cord, then clean or replace the blocked sample capillary. * **Ozone Supply**: Check the Instrument Control chamber menu to confirm that the ozonator is ON. If it is ON, check the dry air supply.

What to do if Thermo Scientific 42i alarms for NO, NO2, NOx concentration?
- V
  velasquezdianeAug 26, 2025
  If your Thermo Scientific Measuring Instruments unit is alarming due to NO, NO2, or NOx concentration, consider these solutions: * **Range**: Ensure the instrument's range corresponds with the expected value. If not, select the proper range. * **Low Set Point**: Check the user-defined low set point and set it to zero if the concentration is low. * **Internal Connections**: Verify that all internal cables are connected correctly. Try recycling AC power to the instrument. If the alarm persists, replace the board.

What to do if Thermo Scientific 42i shows excessive noise?
- J
  Jeremy HallAug 30, 2025
  If your Thermo Scientific Measuring Instruments unit is producing excessive noise, try the following: * **PMT**: Unplug the power cord. Remove the PMT and install a known good PMT. Plug in the power cord and check performance if the PMT is defective or has low sensitivity. * **Input Board**: Replace the input board if it is defective. * **Cooler**: Check the cooler temperature (it should be less than 2 °C at Tamb = 25 °C) if the cooler is defective.

What to do if Thermo Scientific 42i alarms – Ozonator Flow?
- M
  Melanie EdwardsSep 1, 2025
  If your Thermo Scientific Measuring Instruments unit is showing an Ozonator Flow alarm, it may be caused by low ozone flow. Check the ozone capillary (0.008 inch ID) for any blockages and replace it if necessary.

What to do if Thermo Scientific 42i alarms - Chamber Temp?
- C
  Cynthia HortonSep 8, 2025
  If your Thermo Scientific Measuring Instruments unit displays a Chamber Temp alarm, here’s what you can do: * If the chamber temperature is below the set point of 50 °C, check the 10K ohm thermistor and replace it if it is bad. * Check the temperature control board to ensure the LEDs are on. If not, the temperature control board could be defective.
