Appendix C: ERROR CODES & TROUBLESHOOTING

The 717 analyzer will display certain codes to let you know of a malfunction.

*Sensor replacement requires calibration gas.

Code

Code Definition

Possible Causes

Corrective Action

E02

Sensor is faultiy.

Sensor is at the end of it’s
life.

Replace sensors (see
Appendix D for field replac-
ing the sensors or return
instrument to TPI for sensor
replacement.

Flo

Err

Pump not drawing sample at
correct rate.

Water trap full.

Blockage in flue probe or
hose is kiniked.

Water trap particle filter satu-
rated..

Low battery.

Empty water trap.

Check for kinks and block-
age in flue probe hose.

Replace particle filter in
water trap.

Replace batteries.

Purg

Err

There is 15ppm or more car-
bon monoxide remaining in
the internal manifold.

When switching between
functions the pump will shut
off. This can trap CO in the
internal manifold. When
returning to analyzer mode
this error will display if the
trapped CO is 15ppm or
more.

Allow the analyzer to run
until the error is cleared.

bat

Low battery.

Batteries needs to be
changed.

Charge batteries. (See
Appendix J.

oFL

Overflow indication. The
pressure being measured is
outside the maximum mea-
surement capability.

Pressure being measured is
too high or low.

Pressure sensor damaged or
defective.

Remove pressure source.

Return to TPI for service.

oFL

Overflow indication. The tem-
perature being measured is
outside the maximum mea-
surement capability.

Temperature being measured
is too high or low.

Remove pressure source.

oPEn

Unable to read thermocouple
(temperature).

Temperature probe not con-
nected to input.
Worn temperature sensor.

Connect temperature probe
to analyzer.
Replace temperature probe
or flue probe.

E01

Sensor not responding
properly.

Something wrong in sensor
circuit.

Return to TPI for service.
