SIMPLE FAULT FINDING
8.1
Error Messages
If erroneous or unexpected results are obtained the fault may be
indicated by an error message – see Table 8.1. However, some
faults may cause problems with analyzer calibration or give
discrepancies when compared with independent laboratory
measurements.
8.2
No Response to Conductivity Changes
The majority of problems are associated with the conductivity
cell which must be cleaned as an initial check. It is also important
that all program parameters have been set correctly and have
not been altered inadvertently – see Section 5.
If the above checks do not resolve the fault:
a) Check the analyzer responds to a resistance input.
Disconnect the conductivity cell cable and connect a
suitable resistance box directly to the analyzer input – see
Section 6.4. Select the
CONFIG. SENSORS
page and and set
Temp.Comp.
to
None
– see Section 5.3. Check the analyzer
displays the correct values as set on the resistance box – see
Table 8.2 or use the expression:
R =
K x 10
6
G
Where: R = resistance
K = cell constant
G = conductivity
Failure to respond to the input indicates a fault with the analyzer
which must be returned to the Company for repair. A response,
but with incorrect readings, usually indicates an electrical
calibration problem. Re-calibrate the analyzer as detailed in
Section 7.3.
b) If the response in a) is correct, reconnect the conductivity cell
cable and connect the resistance box to the cell end.
Check the analyzer displays the correct values as set on the
resistance box in this configuration.
If the analyzer passes check a) but fails check b), check the
cable connections and condition. If the response for both
checks is correct, replace the conductivity cell.
8.3
Checking the Temperature Input
Check the analyzer responds to a temperature input.
Disconnect the Pt100/Pt1000 leads and connect a suitable
resistance box directly to the analyzer inputs – see Section 6.4.
Check the analyzer displays the correct values as set on the
resistance box – see Table 8.3.
Incorrect readings usually indicate an electrical calibration
problem. Re-calibrate the analyzer as detailed in Section 7.3.
