Fault Diagnosis with TEST Functions
Besides being useful as predictive diagnostic tools, the Test Functions viewable
from the Front Panel can be used to isolate and identify many operational problems
when combined with a thorough understanding of the analyzers Theory of
Operation (see Section 10).
The acceptable ranges for these Test Functions are listed in the “Nominal Range”
column of the analyzer Final Test and Validation Data Sheet (p/n 04307) shipped
with the instrument. Values outside these acceptable ranges indicate a failure of
one or more of the analyzers subsystems. Functions whose values are still within
the acceptable range but have significantly changed from the measurement
recorded on the factory data sheet may also indicate a failure. A worksheet has
been provided in Appendix C to assist in recording the value of these Test
Functions.
The following table contains some of the more common causes for these values to
be out of range.
