Using the LI-6400

If the flow did increase substantially, the problem is either with the soda lime
tube, or else in the line between the air intake and the soda lime tube. To test
the soda lime tube itself, remove the desiccant tube (that will make the flow
be highest) and put the soda lime tube in the desiccant tube location. If the
flow doesnÕt change much between having nothing in the desiccant tube lo-
cation, and having the soda lime in the desiccant location, that means the soda
lime tube is ok, and the problem is in the internal tube connecting the air inlet
and the soda lime location. Open the console, and inspect that line; it may
have debris in it.
If the problem is the soda lime tube, see

Remove the desiccant tube
If this improves the flow, the problem is in the desiccant tube. To find a block-
age within the desiccant tube, see
If this doesnÕt fix the problem, open the console. (See Figure 20-10 on
page 20-38.) There might be some sort of blockage between the air filter
(which is next after the desiccant tube) and the pump. Pull the air intake line
from the pump, and see if that increases the flow rate. If it does, youÕve brack-
eted the problem.
The problem could also be a bad pump or diaphragm, but this has been quite
rare. See
Pump Status: ERR
This can only happen with the 6400-01 installed, and then only when some-
thing is restricting the pump. Check for a blockage in the flow path on the
vacuum side of the pump, as described above.
IRGA Problems
ÒIRGAs Not ReadyÓ Message
The ÒIRGAs Not ReadyÓ message will show up in New Measurements mode,
and also during the IRGA zeroing and span setting routines, whenever one or
more of the gas analyzers is indicating a problem (see discussion under
on page 14-12). What triggers this message is Òtoo
muchÓ light attenuation in the non-absorbing reference wave bands for CO

and H
