Troubleshooting
This appendix describes some problems that may arise when using the
Potentiostat, Dual Picostat or QuadStat. There is also help in your
e-corder Manual and Software Manuals , placed on your computer hard
disc by the eDAQ Software Installer CD .
In many cases, a problem can be fixed by turning the
e-corder
and
computer off, checking connections, and starting again. Also try
performing the maintenance checks on
page 20 , page 37 , and
page 57 . If you cannot correct the problem, then please contact your
eDAQ representative.
The On–line indicator fails to light when the software is opened.
• Check that the
e-corder
is connected to the mains power and that
it is turned on.
• Check that Potentiostat, Dual Picostat, or QuadStat is properly
connected to the
e-corder
and that the cables are not loose.
Especially check that the ‘E in, ‘I Out’ and ‘E Out’ cables are
correctly connected, see
page 9 , page 28, and page 46 .
• If possible, change cables and try again. If a second cable works
and you find that the first cable is faulty, you should contact eDAQ
for a replacement.
• If you are using EChem software, check that the ‘E In’ cable is
connected to the
e-corder
output and the ‘I Out’ and ‘E Out’ cables
are connected to
