6043- Evacuation timeout.
6044- Dosing timeout.
6045- Elevator timeout.
6048- Po fill timeout.
Cause: The analyzer failed to reach a suitable vacuum level within the
specified evacuation time.
Action A: Remove and reattach the sample and balance tubes, ensuring that both
are securely in the port.
Action B: Verify that the vacuum pump is operating properly.
Action C: If actions A and B don’t correct the problem, degas the sample again
and repeat the analysis.
Action D: Contact a Micromeritics service representative if this error message
continues.
Cause A: The adsorbate gas supply was depleted by the analyzer during
analysis or termination.
Action A: Verify that the inlet valve on the gas bottle is open and that the gas
pressure regulator setting is between 15 and 18 psig (103.4 and 124.1
kPa). Check the adsorbate gas bottle to see if it is empty; replace if
necessary.
Cause B: Sample has adsorbed the maximum amount of gas available.
Action B: If additional data points are required, repeat the analysis with a
smaller amount of sample (to avoid exceeding 100 cm
3
STP total
volume adsorbed).
Cause: The elevator was unable to reach the raised or lowered position.
Action: Check for obstructions. Contact a Micromeritics service
representative if this error message continues.
Cause: The adsorbate gas supply was depleted during and analysis or a Po
measurement.
Action: Verify that the inlet valve on the gas bottle is open and that the gas
pressure regulator setting is between 15 and 18 psig (103.4 and 124.1
kPa). Check the adsorbate gas bottle to see if it is empty; replace if
necessary.
