Fault message 

Explanations and actions 

« Low transmission » 

WARNING 
The optical transmission has dropped below the limit for 
reliable measurements. This might indicate 
misalignment of the optical units or contamination of the 
mirrors in the cell. Check alignment and replace cell if 
necessary. 

« Laser line-up error » 

ERROR 
The laser beam does not reach the detector. Check 
alignment and replace cell if necessary. 

« PLC T-read error » 

ERROR 
Failure reading temperature through 4-20 mA PLC input. 
Input current from temperature sensor is either above 
23.7 mA or below 0.3 mA. Check connections to 
temperature sensor or use fixed temperature setting in 
the SERVOTOUGH LaserExact Monitor. 

« PLC P-read error » 

ERROR 
Failure reading pressure through 4-20 mA PLC input. 
Input current from pressure sensor is either above 23.7 
mA or below 0.3 mA. Check connections to pressure 
sensor or use fixed pressure setting in the 
SERVOTOUGH LaserExact Monitor. 

« T-read out of range »  WARNING 

Input current from temperature sensor is either above 22 
mA or below 3.2 mA. The measured gas temperature 
may be wrong. Check temperature sensor or use fixed 
temperature setting in the SERVOTOUGH LaserExact 
Monitor. 

« P-read out of range »  WARNING 

Input current from pressure sensor is either above 22 
mA or below 3.2 mA. The measured gas pressure may 
be wrong. Check pressure sensor or use fixed 
temperature setting in the SERVOTOUGH LaserExact 
Monitor. 

« P/T out of range » 

WARNING 
Pressure and temperature compensation is outside 
acceptable range. The accuracy of the measured gas 
concentration may be reduced. If supplied values are 
correct, the instrument is operating outside 
specifications.
