Low Battery Fault

Cause: The battery pack must be recharged.

Action: Connect the instrument to an AC supply using the AC adapter or replace
the battery pack with a fully charged one as discussed in Battery Pack on page

32.

Datalogger Full Fault

Cause: The internal memory of the

Explorer is full.

Action: Delete any old analyses. If you need all the information in the datalogger,
download the contents of the datalogger to PC running the SiteChart software. The
contents of the datalogger is automatically deleted after the contents is downloaded
to the PC.

Ambient Temp Fault

Cause: Ambient temperature is outside of operating temperature range.

Action: Move

Explorer to a controlled environment, that is, in a vehicle with the

heating or air conditioning running or indoors, or bring the sample to

Explorer in gas

bags, glass vessels or syringes.

Over Range Fault

Cause: The PID or ECD is saturated.

Action: Saturation has occurred when the offset level is greater than 800 mV. At this
point the signal level can no longer be set to 10% of full scale at the start of an
analysis. Saturation can also occur if many high concentration samples are analyzed
in succession. Allow the detector to flush until the offset level returns to 200-800
mV. If necessary, increase the pressure and flush the detector as described in
Purging the ECD on page

254.
