12. Troubleshooting
<Locating cause of failure, and countermeasures>
(1) Confirm the following and carry out calibration again: If the items are not within
their proper states, correct them.
a. If the display “Span gas conc.” is selected in “Calibration setup,” the set point
should agree with the concentration of span gas actually used.
b. The calibration gas tubing should be constructed so that the span gas does not
leak.
(2) If no alarm is generated as a result of carrying out re-calibration, it is suspected that
improper calibration conditions were the cause of the alarm in the preceding calibra-
tion. In this case, no specific restoration is necessary.
(3) If an alarm is generated again as a result of carrying out re-calibration, deterioration
of or damage to the cell (sensor) is suspected as the cause of the alarm. Replace-
ment of the cell with a new one is necessary. However, before replacement, carry
out the procedure described in step (3) and later of <Search for cause of failure and
taking measure> in Section 12.2.2.2, “Alarm 6: Zero-point Calibration Coefficient
Alarm.”
12.2.2.4 Alarm 8: EMF Stabilization Time Over
This alarm is generated if the sensor (cell) voltage has not stabilized even after the
calibration time is up for the reason that the calibration gas (zero gas or span gas) has
not filled the sensor assembly of the detector.
<Cause of alarm>
(1) The flow of the calibration gas is less than normal (a specified flow of 600
Ϯ 60
mL/min).
(2) The length or thickness of the calibration gas tubing has been changed (lengthened or
thickened).
(3) The measuring gas flows toward the tip of the probe.
(4) The sensor (cell) response has deteriorated.
<Locating cause of failure, and countermeasures>
(1) Carry out calibration by passing the calibration gas at the specified flow (600
Ϯ 60
mL/min) after checking that there is no leakage in the tubing.
(2) If calibration is carried out normally, perform a steady operation without changing
the conditions. If the error occurs again, check whether or not the reason is appli-
cable to the following and then replace the sensor assembly.
• A lot of dust and the like may be sticking to the tip of the detector probe. If dust is
found, clean the probe (see Section 11.1.1).
In addition, if an error occurs in calibration even after the sensor assembly is re-
placed, the influence of measured gas flow may be suspected. Do not let the mea-
sured gas flow toward the tip of the detector probe, for example, by changing the
mounting position of the detector.
