Please note that these operating screens cannot be seen 

except through the door window with the cabinet door 

closed or in maintenance bypass mode. See section 5.3 

for more information on this.

The CLX-Ex2 performs continuous diagnostic monitoring. In the 

CLX-Ex2, there are 4 severity levels of fault detection. Level 4, 3 and 

2 will allow normal operation, but warn of the problem. Level 1 is an 

instrument failure and the instrument will not operate. Any faults are 

displayed in a queue form in the bottom row of the LCD.

level 4 fault

 is simply a screen indication that one of the alarm levels 

has been activated. This fault level will not affect the 4-20 mA and will 

only affect the alarm activated. The sample back light blinks at a rate of 

once every 4 seconds.

level 3 fault

 indicates a failure or a problem that usually can be 

corrected by the operator. Refer to the chart below. If any of these 

errors occur, the instrument will still display readings and probably 

will operate correctly. These faults will self-clear when the problem is 

corrected. If any of these faults occur, they may affect the 4-20mA and 

any alarm dependent on the detection setting (Error). See sections 8.2 

and 8.4.1 for error settings. The sample back light blinks at a rate of 

once every 2.5 seconds to indicate these faults.

Level 3 (Self-Clearing) fault conditions

Message

Description of Fault

Corrective Action

MA

4-20 mA enabled and loop open

Check 4-20 mA wiring or turn off 4- 20mA 

if not used

CAL

Calibration invalid –not accepted

Recalibrate if needed

WATR

No water flowing

Check water flow

FAST

Intake water flow too fast

Set flow rate (see section 10.2)

SLOW

Sample cuvette filling too slowly

Set flow rate (see section 10.2)

PURG

Sample cuvette has slow purge

Check drain lines

NPRG

Sample cuvette not purging

Check drain lines

ISOL

Problem with intake solenoid

Check wiring, check for clogged solenoid

PSOL

Problem with purge solenoid

Check wiring, check for clogged solenoid

GLAS

Dirty cuvette

Replace or clean cuvette

WCAL

Water Level Calibration Invalid

Clear fault (see section 10.3)

level 2 fault

 indicates a severe problem that will usually 

require technical assistance from HF scientific customer 

service (see section 10.6). The queued display will show 

POST

. If this fault occurs it will affect the 4-20mA and any 

alarm set for fault detection (Error). The sample back light blinks at rate 

of once every 1 second.

level 1 fault

 is a system fault. This is NOT a problem that 

the operator can correct, and the unit must be returned 

to the factory for service (see section 10.6). These failures 

consist of failures in the CPU, A/D, EEPROM or other 

devices internal to the instrument. The queued display will 

show 

FAIL

, the upper display will show a four or five digit fault code. 

If this fault occurs, it will affect the 4-20mA and any alarm set for fault 

detection (Error). The instrument will not operate with this fault. The 

sample back light blinks at rate of once every 0.4 seconds.
If any fault condition occurs, the message indicating the fault will be 

shown on the lower row of the display.

10.2 Setting Flow Rate

The flow rate on the CLX-Ex2 was factory adjusted and usually should 

not need adjustment. Installation variances may affect the flow. The 

optimal flow rate through the CLX-Ex2 may be adjusted if needed. 

The flow is adjusted by removing regulator vinyl cap and turning the 

adjustment screw on the pressure regulator. To assist in this adjustment 

follow the procedure shown below:
1.  Press the 

SERVICE

 button.

2.  Wait for the display to read HOLd, then press 

Mode/ Exit

.

3.  Display will show FLOW with the number 0. Press either the 

 or 

 

button.

4.  CLXB will drain, and then pulse in water while a count is displayed 

on the screen.

5.  The display will show one of three messages HI, LO or Good.
The flow test determines if the flow rate is suitable for proper operation. 

Loosen the locking nut then adjust the pressure regulator using a coin 

or a large flat blade screwdriver. Press either the 

 or 

 button while 

in the FLOW routine to display a new flow rate. Please note that only ¼ 

turn incremental adjustments should be made to the regulator on  

each attempt.
If the message is LO, turn the regulator control clockwise. If the 

message is HI, turn the regulator counterclockwise. If the message 

is Good, no adjustment is required. Tighten the locking nut after 

adjustment and replace the regulator vinyl cap. To return to normal 

operation, press the 

  button.

10.3 Clearing Faults

Every time 

SERVICE

 mode is exited, all faults are cleared. If the original 

fault or a new fault occurs, it will be posted.
In the case of WCAL, it is possible the power was enabled before a 

water sample was available. Ensure a water sample is available and 

then press PRIME to force another Water Calibration (WCAL).

10.4 Reagent Clogs

If reagents fail to flow or Prime it may be due to a clog in 

either the tubing or at a check valve. To alleviate this you 

may have to flush the system with Chlorine Free water, 

preferably Deionized water. See section11.4 

Check Valve 

Flushing Kit.

Only access when the atmosphere has been tested and known to 

be safe.
