    What to do if YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments shows error E5*?
    • B
      Bonnie LopezAug 19, 2025
      If your YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments displays error code E5*, it indicates that the glass electrode is either coated or fouled. In this case, you should clean or replace the glass electrode. This error may also appear because of an open circuit on measurement. To resolve this, check the connections and cables.

      If your YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments shows error E1, it could be due to several reasons. The electrodes might be fouled, in which case you should clean them. Alternatively, the glass electrode might be too slow; try using a faster type. Also, ensure you are using the correct type of glass electrode; if not, switch to the appropriate one.

    • C
      Christopher BuchananAug 26, 2025
      If your YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments is showing error E6*, it could be due to a few reasons: the reference electrode might be fouled or clogged, the liquid earth might be disconnected or the sensors may not be fully immersed. Clean or replace the glass electrode to fix this. You should also check the installation.

    What does error E7* mean on YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments?
    • J
      Jessica LeeAug 27, 2025
      Error E7* on YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments indicates a problem related to temperature. It could be that the process temperature is too high. To solve this, cool the process or use a sample loop. Another cause might be the usage of the wrong temperature sensor. In this case, correct the setting. Finally, the temperature sensor may be damaged, so check the connections and the sensor itself.

    • M
      Michele WalkerAug 30, 2025
      Error E8* on YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments indicates a problem related to low temperature. The process temperature might be too low, so warm the process or use a sample loop. The wrong temperature sensor may be in use, so correct the setting. Also, there might be a short circuit in the temperature input, so check connections and the sensor.

    What does error E3 mean on YOKOGAWA PH200 Measuring Instruments?
    • Y
      ychapmanSep 1, 2025
      Error E3 on your YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments can occur if the glass electrode has aged; if this is the case, replace it. It can also be caused by bad isolation on the input. To fix this, dry or replace the cable.

    What does error E9* mean on YOKOGAWA PH200?
    • J
      John BassSep 3, 2025
      Error E9* on YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments indicates a problem with the temperature sensor. It could be that the temperature element is broken, so replace the temperature sensor. It could also mean that the temperature sensor is disconnected, so set the temperature to manual.

    Why does my YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments show error E0?
    • K
      Kathy Martin DDSSep 5, 2025
      If your YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments displays error E0, it means that the buffer liquid is either too hot or too cold. If the buffer liquid is too hot, cool it. If it's too cold, warm it.

    What to do if my YOKOGAWA PH200 shows error E2?
    • S
      Shannon JamesSep 7, 2025
      If your YOKOGAWA Measuring Instruments shows error E2, it might be due to an incorrect calibration at pH 7. Recalibrate at pH 7 to resolve this. You may also need to check if the buffer solution is fresh.
