Pressurization
Normal air and sheath pressure readings vary between 6-9 psi
while the compressor runs. If the system pressure is out of
range, your sample acquisition will fail or return poor results.
The XYP or the LX 100 power
is not turned on. Turn off the PC and then turn on
the LX100, XYP, and then the
PC.
Symptom Possible problem Solution
Pressurization fails or
pressure is too low. The sheath and waste lines are
not fully connected. Make sure the lines between the
sheath and waste bottles and the
analyzer are fully connected.
An air leak is present in the
sheath bottle. Remove and retighten the
sheath bottle cap.
The sheath or waste bottle
fittings are cracked. Inspect the fittings to be sure
they form a tight seal.
There is a leak in the system. Check for system leaks.
The compressor does not
engage. Run a Prime command. If you
do not hear the compressor turn
on, call Technical Support.
The Cheminert Fitting is loose. Ensure that the fitting connects
tightly above the sample probe,
below the blue light.
Fluid leaks in the system. See Fluid Leak on page 7-4.
The sheath bottle has an air
leak. Disconnect the sheath and waste
bottle connections from the
analyzer. Run a Prime
Command. If pressure builds,
remove and retighten the sheath
fluid bottle cap, then reconnect
fluid lines to the analyzer. If
pressurization fails again,
replace the sheath bottle.
