5-1
Model 880A Non-Dispersive Infrared Analyzer
5.1 ERROR CODE SUMMARY
In the Run Mode, the error codes described in Table 5-1 may appear on the display.
These messages also are shown on the STATUS display in a slightly different format.
Error messages in Table 5-1 are listed in order of priority.
Note:
The ERL error message takes precedence over other error messages [ER0 -
ER7] in the Run Mode screen.

EXPLANATION
ERL
[EL-LIN.COEFF ERR]
Either an improper linearization coefficient or a CAL GAS value
larger than fullscale has been inputted. See Section 5.10 for
further information.
ERO
[EO-ZERO POT
LMTS]
Zero Potentiometer setting is such that
more
than
±
500 mV is
required to make a software zero. The zero pot cannot
compensate. System must be balanced with source balance
shutter adjustment. See Section 5.6.
ER1
[E1-SPAN #1 LMTS]
ER2
[E2-SPAN #2 LMTS]
Span errors for Range 1, Range 2, or Range 3. Software span is
outside limits so that the rum mode value is not between 51% and
100% of the span gas value while in the Span Mode. Check gain
settings.
ER3
[E3-SPAN #3 LMTS]
ER4
[E4-ADC
SATURATED]
Signal into ADC is greater than fullscale rating. Refer to Figure 3-
6 and reduce the digital GAIN setting by one value, i.e. 8 to 4, 4 to
2 or 2 to 1. If the GAIN is initially on 1, switch from High to Low
gain.
ER5
[E5-ZERO DRIFT]
Zero drift limit exceeded. To clear, recalibrate or toggle the drift
limit OFF and then ON. See Figure 3-14.
ER6
[E6-SPAN DRIFT]
Span drift limit exceeded. To clear, recalibrate or toggle the drift
limit OFF and then ON. See Figure 3-14.
ER7
[E7-GAIN TOO HIGH]
The gain setting in the “RANGE” sub-menu is producing too high
of a signal. Reduce gain.
[IR SOURCE ERROR]
Infrared source current has been below 300 mADC for more than 2
minutes. Check source current, adjust R9 for minimum 700
mADC. Replace source, if required.
Note: If any of the above error messages occur during calibration, software
will restore previous calibration values. The analyzer is then operable under
values resident before modification.
