10.1.1Fault Diagnosis with TEST Variables

The Table 10-1indicates possible fault conditions that could cause the TEST functions to be outside the acceptable range.

RANGE

500 PPM

This is the Range of the instrument. In standard configuration

 

 

all 2 outputs have the same range.

 

 

Dual range option allows different ranges for each output.

 

 

When enabled, there will be 2 range values displayed (low

 

 

range and high range).

 

 

Auto range option allows 2 different ranges for each channel,

 

 

and will automatically switch to the other range dynamically

 

 

as concentration values require. The TEST values will show

 

 

the range in which the instrument is currently operating, and

 

 

will dynamically display the alternate range as the range

 

 

changes occur.

 

 

 

STABIL

 

The instrument stability is computed for 25 samples with 10

 

 

seconds default interval time. The stability value should be

 

 

compared to the value observed in the factory check-out.

 

 

During normal sampling, this value will be changing

 

 

depending on the sample concentration variation.

 

 

Faults that cause high stability values are:

 

 

1.

Pneumatic leak

 

 

2. Low (below 600 mV) or very unstable UV lamp output

 

 

3.

Light leak

 

 

4. Faulty HVPS

 

 

5.

Defective Preamp board (02107)

 

 

6.

Aging detectors

 

 

7.

PMT recently exposed to room light

 

 

8.

Dirty/contaminated reaction cell
