TELEDYNE ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENTS
Analyzers equipped with a scrubber should only be used with inert gases and saturat-
ed hydrocarbons.
5.2 Troubleshooting
To troubleshoot the analyzer, identify the problem in the following list and then
follow the procedures to correct the problem. If you cannot identify the problem, or if you
cannot resolve the problem after following the corrective procedure, call a service repre-
sentative.

Remove analyzer cover. Check
PC board connections and
make sure that they are firmly
seated.
Replace sensor.
Check zero gas inlet connec-
tion.
Replace sensor.
Re-zero sensor.
a) Re-enter span gas concen-
tration.
b) Replace or reinstall sensor.
a) Raise air supply pressure to
at least 70 psig.
b) Check back panel connec-
tions. Raise sample supply
to at least 5 psig but within
±2 psig of the span gas
pressure.

level.
Bad sensor.
a) The wrong span gas
concentration has been
entered.
a) The pneumatic air supply
pressure is too low, making
the valves stick.
b) The sample supply pressure
is too low.
