8.3.4 Additional Detector Operating Problems
This section provides additional issues that may arise during operation of
the Vanquish charged aerosol detector. Locate the table for the type of
symptom you have, find the possible cause, and use the description of
the solution to help you solve your problem quickly.
Also check the Chromeleon Audit Trail for a related message if an
operating problem occurs. The message may provide additional
information.
Note that this section provides information on symptoms and causes
directly related to the Vanquish charged aerosol detector. For

section, contact Thermo Fisher Scientific Technical Support for
assistance.
Symptom Possible Cause Remedial Action
Baseline noise
and/or poor
precision Change in background
current If the
Background_Current
signal channel is changing, this can
indicate a contamination in the flow path of the system. Make
sure that all components in the liquid flow path are free from
contamination.
Unstable gas regulator
pressure If the GasReg_Pressure signal channel shows an instability in the
nebulizer gas pressure, this can lead to baseline noise and/or poor
precision. Check that the gas supply pressure is stable. If the
instability remains, contact Technical Support.
Unstable evaporation
temperature If the Evap_Tube_Temp signal channel is unstable, this can lead to
higher baseline noise and/or poor precision.
High gas flow ratio Clogging in the detector Contact Technical Support.
Low gas flow ratio Gas leak Check the Audit Trail for the respective message. See section 8.2
