No solution in container or simulator power
has been turned on with top housing not
attached to the container
.
IF THE SIMULATOR DISPLAYS AN ERROR:
The Model 2100 provides internal diagnostics checking for several conditions which prevent the
simulator from maintaining the correct temperature. When a condition or malfunction occurs, the
simulator will deactivate the heater and the agitator motor. The simulator will alarm indicating a
malfunction and display the error code. This will continue until the malfunction is corrected or the
simulator is reset.
RESETTING THE SIMULATOR
Turning the power off and on will reset the simulator.
ERROR CODES
The following list of error codes indicate the cause and corrective action:
REMEDY:
Turn the simulator off. Fill container with 500 ml of certified solution and
reassemble top housing and container.
REMEDY:
Cannot be remedied in the field. Requires service*
REMEDY:
Turn “off” – wait 3-5 seconds, then turn “on”.
10
The temperature sensor is open or the sensor is
shorted. The computer is receiving no signal to
allow it to control the temperature.
Electronics need to be reset.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF THE GUTH MODEL 2100 ALCOHOL BREATH
SIMULATOR:
1.
Add tubing and connector to the simulator.
2.
Remove the glass container from the simulator top housing.
3.
Pour 500 ml of Certified Simulator Solution into the simulator container. The Guth
laboratory glass container has a 500 ml + 5% fill mark. The solution should never be
less than 500 ml prior to inserting the top housing.
4.
Reassemble the simulator with the glass container. Be sure the container is properly
seated to the top housing
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
5.
Turn the power ON. The simulator will alarm once and the display will completely
illuminate as shown in figure 1. This indicates the display is functioning properly.
Figure 1
6.
The L.E.D. test display in figure 1 will remain for approximately one second and then
change to the COLD display as shown in figure 2.
Figure 2
7.
Scanning of the decimal dots across the bottom of the display indicates the simulator is
heating.
8.
When the solution reaches 33.6
o
C, the display will indicate the actual temperature. As
the simulator controls the temperature, the last decimal point of the display will pulse
indicating proper operation.
9.
When 34.0
o
c has been obtained (as shown in Figure 3), the heater indicator will pulse
less frequently. It is normal for the simulator to display the temperatures of 34.0c and
33.9c. The simulator is controlling the temperature properly.
