TROUBLESHOOTING, MAINTENANCE

& REPAIRS

The following section identifies potential system issues and provides possible resolutions.  If you are 
unable to resolve an issue after following the suggestion(s) shown in this section, contact AMI for further 
support.

The following section shows the existing error(s) that can be detected by the Analyzer.  Each error has 

an assigned number and message.   

Error Status Display:  Error Reference Guide

Note:  

All error codes can be displayed on the Error Status Display.  

Once troubleshooting is completed and the error is resolved, 

the message will automatically be removed from the Error 

Status Display by the Analyzer.

Note:  

The LCD of the Analyzer will display 'fail-safe' error code(s).

If a 'fail-safe' error code is detected, the 'error number' and 

'ERR" will display and blink on the LCD (as indicated above).

Once the troubleshooting is completed and the error is re-

solved, the error code will no longer display.
