Description

Troubleshooting

3F00

Absorbance target gain calibration is performed for the
reference channel, shooting for a target at full-scale
saturation. A signal error is flagged if the maximum gain of
254 does not result in saturation.

• Ensure that the door is
completely closed.
• Ensure that instrument
enclosure is completely
installed and secured.
• Flash lamp missing flashes
or too much flash to flash
intensity variation.
• Check for spill in chamber.
Contamination on the lower
or the upper optical
assembly in the absorbance
light path can cause this
error. A system test will
typically show elevated
gains in the 230 nm
wavelength if the
absorbance optics is
contaminated.
• Contact Technical Support.

Note: This error may not
occur during a system test
but can occur when the first
read is attempted.

3F0Yw

Yw = wavelength readset #
If the final signal for the reference channel (dark offset
subtracted from light) is less than 500 counts, or if the
measurement channel signal is less than 8000 counts, a
signal error is flagged.
