Troubleshooting
This appendix describes some problems that may arise when using the
Potentiostat, Picostat or QuadStat. There is also help in your
e-corder
Manual and Software Manuals , located on 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 22 , page 39 , and
page 59 . 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, 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 11 , page 31, and page 48 .
• 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 e-corder Input 1 and 2, see page 11 , page 31,
and page 47 .
