ERROR & FAULT MESSAGES
THE DETECTOR DOES NOT
START
When the push button is pressed for at least 2 seconds, the green start LED will not light and the detector will not
start.
1
Check that the power cord is firmly connected to the back of the cabinet and that the switch is in the ON (-) position.
2
Check that the red power indicator on the front of the cabinet is lit. [Chap. 3.2.1]
> If this is not the case, replace the fuse in the power supply unit on the back of the cabinet. [Chap. 3.2.2]
3
If the power indicator light is on, check that you have pressed the power button for the right long time (approx. 2 seconds).
> The green start indicator light should light on.
4
If the detector still does not start, perform a RESET.
> Use a rod (1mm diameter) and press the push button through the RESET hole. [Chap. 3.2.1]
5
Try again to start the detector by pressing the power button.
> The green start indicator light should light on.
If the detector still does not start, contact the After Sales Service.
SHORT CIRCUIT
The display shows SHORT CIRCUIT. [Chap. 5.5] and the red "AUTO CONTROL" indicator flashes.
1
Check that the cable is in good condition, and does not show signs of cuts, tears or crushing. It may exist in a cable in bad
condition SHORT CIRCUITS.
> Replace the cable if necessary then select "RESTART".
Be careful using a faulty cable can seriously damage the detector.
2
If the SHORT CIRCUIT message persists, the problem may come from the Sensor Cell or Suction Block that is being
damaged.
> You may need to replace the Cell or Aspiration Block.
If the SHORT CIRCUIT message still displayed, contact the After Sales Service.
PROBE ERROR
The screen displays PROBE ERROR. [Chap. 5.5] and the red "AUTO CONTROL" indicator flashes.
1
Stop the detector by pressing the start button (2s approx.)
2
Check the right connection of the sensor unit to the suction unit [chap. 4.1.1]
3
Check that the cable is in good condition, and does not show signs of cuts, tears or crushing. A cable in poor condition may
have WIRES CUT INSIDE.
> Replace the cable if necessary.
4
Restart the detector by pressing the start button (approx. 2s)
5
If the ERROR PROBE message persists, the most common cause is that the Sensor Cell is worn or damaged.
> It is necessary to replace the Cell of detection.
If the ERROR PROBE message persists, contact the After Sales Service.
LOW SENSITIVITY
OR
NO DETECTION
After checking on a Calibrated Leak of known value, the detector detects little or no.
1
Check that the red "AUTO CHECK" indicator is off.
2
Check that the "CONTAMINATION" indicator is off.
> If the light is on, the ambient working atmosphere is too polluted. Ventilate the work area and wait for the indicator to
go out.
> If the light does not go out, either the work area is still polluted or the Sensor Cell is over used and it is necessary to
replace it.
3
Check the detector settings: GAS Type and DETECTION Threshold.
4
Check the CALIBRATION of the detector [chap. 5.4.1]
> If necessary, make a new calibration with a Calibrated Leak of known value. Otherwise, it is possible to restore the
factory settings of the detector. [Chap. 6.4.3]
> If calibration is not possible, either check your Calibrated Leak or the Sensor Cell is used and it is necessary to replace
it.
5
Unscrew the suction block from the cable.
6
Unscrew the sniffer pipe from the suction block.
7
Check that the sniffing pipe is not clogged, bent or crushed.
> If this is the case try to unclog the pipe, otherwise it is necessary to replace the sniffing pipe.
8
Check that the cell is equipped with a fiber filter and that it is not obstructed or room.
> If this is the case replace the fiber filter.
9
Check that the teflon end of the sniffer pipe is not clogged.
> If this is the case try to unclog the Teflon tip with a tipor replace it.
10
Check that you hear the sound of the suction turbine in the suction unit.
He must be gentle and steady.
> In the event that the turbine does not rotate, emits whistles or is irregular in operation, it is necessary to replace the
SUCTION BLOCK.
11
The most common cause of low sensitivity or inability to detect is a used detection cell.
> It is necessary to replace the detection cell.
If the problem persists, contact the After Sales Service.
