5. If the T-fitting is clear, confirm that the DI pump is working.
6. If the sample flow error persists, contact your local service provider or Technical
Support to replace the component that is causing the error, or for further
assistance.
Additional Troubleshooting Steps
Many of the previous steps in this chapter will help troubleshoot negative or erratic
measurements. If the previous steps did not remedy the situation, perform one of the
following procedures.
TC/IC C
ONDUCTIVITY
A
UTOZERO
The TC/IC Conductivity Autozero protocol adjusts the IC and TC cell offsets. If the
Analyzer is returning unusually high IC or TC values, or returning negative IC, TC, or
conductivity values, a TC/IC Conductivity Autozero might be necessary. See
Conductivity Autozero Protocol” on page 217
for instructions.
TOC A
UTOZERO
The TOC Autozero corrects for minor differences in the response of the two CO2
sensors. This adjustment may help when the Analyzer is reading very high or negative
values. After running a system protocol, let the Analyzer run in Online mode for 30
minutes before performing a TOC Autozero. See
“TOC Autozero Calibration Protocol”
for instructions.
TOC O
FFSET
At extremely low TOC concentrations, very small changes in water system conditions
may make it difficult to use the TOC autozero procedure for the purposes of achieving
instrument-to-instrument agreement consistent with the stated Analyzer
specifications. If the TOC autozero procedure does not yield acceptable agreement
