11.1.2. Fault Diagnosis with Test Functions

Besides being useful as predictive diagnostic tools, the TEST functions, viewable from the front
panel, can be used to isolate and identify many operational problems when combined with a
thorough understanding of the analyzer’s theory of operation (Section 10). We recommend use of
the APICOM remote control program to download, graph and archive TEST data for analysis, and
long-term monitoring of diagnostic data.

The acceptable ranges for these test functions are listed in Table A-3 in Appendix A-3. The actual
values for these test functions on checkout at the factory were also listed in the Final Test and
Validation Data Sheet
, which was shipped with the instrument. Values outside the acceptable
ranges indicate a failure of one or more of the analyzer’s subsystems. Functions with values that
are within the acceptable range but have significantly changed from the measurements recorded
on the factory data sheet may also indicate a failure or a maintenance item. A problem report
worksheet has been provided in Appendix C to assist in recording the value of these test
functions. The following table (Table 11-2) contains some of the more common causes for these
values to be out of range.
