MALFUNCTION POSSIBLE

CAUSE

ACTION

Pressure transducer does
not hold calibration
or is noisy

Pressure transducer
defective

Replace pressure transducer

Digital electronics
defective

Replace boards one at a time
with a spare boards to isolate
the faulty board

Run output noisy

Recorder noise

Replace or repair recorder

Sample CO concentration
varying

Run Model 48C on a span CO
source - if quiet, there is no
malfunction

Foreign material in
optical bench

Clean optical bench

Digital electronics
defective

Replace one board at a time
with a spare board to isolate
defective board

Analyzer does not
calibrate properly

System leak

Find and repair leak

Pressure or temperature
transducer out of
calibration

Recalibrate pressure and
temperature transducer

Dirty system

Clean cells and flow
components

Leaky correlation wheel

Replace with a known good
wheel
