Message

Description

CANNOT DYN ZERO

Dynamic zero cal. out of spec. The reading of the PMT was

 

too high for the ZERO button to appear. Make sure the

 

instrument is receiving zero gas. Check for dirty reaction cell.

 

Do the factory calibration procedure located in Section 9.1.6.

 

 

CANNOT DYN SPAN

Dynamic span cal. out of spec. The reading of the PMT was

 

too high or low for the SPAN button to appear. Make sure the

 

instrument is receiving correct concentration span gas. Make

 

sure the expected span concentration is entered. Check for

 

dirty reaction cell. Do the factory calibration procedure located

 

in Section 9.1.6.

 

 

OZONE GEN OFF

Ozone generator is off. See Table 9-11 for conditions.

 

 

PRACT WRN XXX.X MV

The Pre-reactor circuit compensates for detector dark current,

 

and background light. Certain electrical faults cause high

 

readings to be added to the filter. First, the cause of the high

 

PREREACT reading should be found and repaired, then wait

 

10 minutes for the Pre-reactor filter to clear itself out.

 

 

A/D NOT INSTALLED

V/F board has failed. The V/F board did not respond to

 

commands from the CPU. This probably means 1. board not

 

seated in socket 2. defective board 3. defective back plane

 

connector

 

 

HVPS WARNING

High Voltage Power Supply voltage out of limits. Limits are

 

400-900 VDC

 

 

DCPS WARNING

DC Power Supply voltage out of limits. Limits are 2500

 

± 500 mV
