Table 9-2:  Front Panel Warning Messages 

Message 

Description 

SYSTEM RESET 

Analyzer was reset/powered on. This warning occurs every time 
the instrument is powered up, as in a power failure. It also 
occurs if the RAM or EEPROM is reset. 

RAM INITIALIZED 

RAM was erased. The RAM contains the DAS averages, which 
get erased when the RAM is initialized. It also contains 
temporary data used by the M9110AH to calculate 
concentrations. No setup variables are stored in the RAM.  

SAMPLE FLOW WARN 

The calculated sample flow is outside the hi/low limits. Since 
the flow is calculated, it probably means the pressure has gotten 
too low. This warning can be caused by a plugged sample inlet. 

AZERO WRN XXX.X MV 

AutoZero reading out of specification, XXX.X is actual reading.  

OZONE FLOW WARNING 

Ozone flow out of spec, warnings occur most often due to loss 
of vacuum, which causes the ozone flow to go to zero. They also 
can occur due to a flow sensor failure. 

VACUUM WARNING 

Vacuum out of spec. warnings are caused by leaks, pump failure 
or disconnected pump. 

BOX TEMP WARNING 

Box temp out of spec. Instrument fan failure, enclosure 
temperature failure. Operation of the M9110AH in a too warm 
or cold environment will cause degradation of data quality and 
shorten the life of the instrument. 

RCELL TEMP WARNING 

Reaction cell temp. out of spec. The warning message is most 
often present during initial warm-up or if the connector to the 
heaters is not plugged in after dis-assembly. It can also occur if 
the thermistor is not in position in the reaction cell. 

PMT TEMP WARNING 

PMT temp out of spec. The PMT temp has its own proportional 
controller on the preamp board. Warnings sometimes occur 
during initial operation. The warning can occur if the 7 pin 
connector to the interior of the sensor is not plugged in. The test 
points on the TEC control board should be checked for proper 
voltage (+15 VDC   0.5) 

CONV TEMP WARNING 

Converter temp. out of spec. The Converter temp is controlled 
by the CPU. It has a thermocouple with amplifier on the 
Status/Temp board. Because of the high temperature of the 
converter (700 C) the temp warning will tend to be the last 
warning to clear as the instrument is powered on.
