TABLE | ||
|
|
|
SYMPTOM |
| ACTION |
|
| |
pH reading won't change in different buffers. | Clean the electrode, check wiring. Replace electrode. | |
|
|
|
"Cracked glass failure". | 1. | Replace electrode if cracked. |
| 2. | Check wiring for short. |
|
| |
pH sensor has sluggish response. | Clean the electrode; if still sluggish soak in 1% HCl for 1 hr. | |
| Replace electrode if not rejuvenated by the HCl soak. | |
|
| |
"Old glass warning". | Check sensor in buffers; replace if calibration unsuccessful. | |
|
|
|
"Lo or Hi slope error". | 1. | Verify internal preamp switch is in the appropriate position. |
| 2. | Improper buffer calibration: check buffer accuracy; wait for reading |
|
| to stabilize; |
| 3. | Clean the electrode; if fault persists; replace electrode. |
| 4. | If new electrode doesn't resolve the fault; replace preamp. |
|
| |
"Calibration warning". | Check sensor in buffers; replace if calibration unsuccessful. | |
|
|
|
"Wait" flashing continuously; won't stabilize | 1. | Readjust stabilization pH or time for Auto Cal (Section 5.9) |
during Auto Buffer Calibration. | 2. | Clean the sensor and retry Auto Cal in buffers. |
| 3. | Try a Manual Buffer Calibration. (see Section 5.9 for configuration) |
|
|
|
Calibrates in buffers but not in the process | 1. | Verify process reading to be correct |
| 2. | Possible ground loop. Make sure that the shield wires do NOT |
|
| touch grounded metal. (Process noise). |
|
|
|
Incorrect temperature reading. | 1. | Standardize the temperature |
Suspected temp. compensation problem. | 2. | Verify sensor's RTD resistance vs. temperature |
"Temp. error high" | 3. | Verify temperature reading to be correct |
"Temp. error low" |
|
|
|
| |
Display segments missing. | Replace Display board. | |
|
| |
Analyzer locks up; won't respond. | Replace CPU board. | |
|
| |
Erratic display and relays chattering. | Check alarm set points, configuration (Sections 5.2, 5.7) | |
|
| |
Analyzer not responding to key presses. | Verify and clean ribbon cable connection on CPU board. | |
Key press gives wrong selection. | Replace enclosure door/keyboard assembly. | |
|
|
|
Wrong or no current output. | 1. | Verify that output is not being overloaded (max load is 600 ohms) |
| 2. | Rerange outputs (Section 3.3) |
| 3. | Replace Power board |
|
| |
No display or indicators. | Verify that the removable fuse module is securely seated. | |
|
| |
Alarm relay closure problems. | Check Power board. | |
Power board | Replace the Power board. | |
|
|
|
Sensor diagnostics faults keep appearing | 1. | Calibrate sensor in buffers; replace if unsuccessful |
| 2. | Check the diagnostic variables for inappropriate settings (Section 5.8) |
| 3. | Turn analyzer diagnostics "OFF" (Section 5.8) |
| 4. | Verify proper wiring and preamp switch position. |
| 5. | Perform Systematic Troubleshooting procedures. |
