9.3 Measures against troubles not included in self-diagnosis
If a trouble occurred, take remedial measures referring to the corresponding items of this
instruction manual after checking the following points. For the troub les of the setting display
unit, refer to the separate instruction manual the setting display unit.
[1.] No display appears in detector unit
.
(1) Is the power supply normal?
(2) Is the fuse normal?
(3) Are cables connected completely?
(4) Are connectors connecting the setting display part and the internal CPU board connected
securely?
(S) Turn off the power supply once and turn it on again.
(6) If the trouble cannot be repaired by the above check, the power supply unit in the
detector may be defective.
[2.] Measured value remains unchanged.
(I) Is HOLD set to OFF?
(2) Is PRESET set to OFF?
(3) Are the calibration curve data correct?
(4) Is the sample liquid flowing in the measuring cell?
(5) Turn off the power supply once and turn it on again.
(6) By using the output checker plate, check if the display at the calibration curve number 0
changes.
[3.] Measured value fluctuates.
(1) Is the measuring surface flat? (for reflective type fiber optics)
(2) Is the measuring position correct? Make sure that the detector unit does not measure a
bottom face like as a belt conveyor.
(3) Make sure that the disturbance light does not radiate onto the measuring surface. (for
reflective type fiber optics)
(4) Make sure that bubbles do not generate in the sample liquid. (for transparent type fiber
optics)
(5) Is the fiber optics fixed firmly? Make sure to fix it at a place without any vibration.
(6) Is the smoothing time proper? Certain smoothing time is necessary for stable
measurement.
(7) Make sure that any noise source does not exit around the detector unit or connection
cables.
(8) By using the output checker plate, check if the display at the calibration curve number 0
fluctuate. (for reflective type fiber optics)
(9) With the measuring cell emptied, check if the display at the calibration curve number 0
fluctuate. (for transparent type fiber optics)
(10) If the display fluctuates in (8) or (9), clear RAM. If the trouble is not recovered yet,
send back it to CHINO for repair.
(11) Make sure that the fiber optics is not disconnected.
[4.] Measured value is slightly higher than or lower than the actual value.
(1) Is the calibration curve number correct?
(2) Are the calibration curve data correct?
(3) Are HOLD and PRESET set to OFF?
(4) Is the measuring position correct? (for reflective type fiber optics)
(5) Is the top of the fiber optics free of dirt and foggy? (for reflective type fiber optics)
(6) Is the sample liquid flowing in the measuring cell? (for transparent type fiber optics)
(7) Correct the calibration curve. (Refer to [6.8 Correction of calibration curve])
