SONIC Status LED

The

SONIC status LED will turn red if there is no CSAT3A connected to

the EC100 electronics or if any of the six sonic diagnostic flags are set.

Please refer to TABLE 8-2 and to the CSAT3A instruction manual for

more detail information on sonic diagnostic flags.

GAS Status LED

The

GAS status LED will turn red in the following situations:

o The EC150 gas head is not connected

o Any of the gas diagnostic flags are set

The

GAS status LED will turn orange during the initial power up

sequence, usually 1-2 min and will turn to green when the sequence is

completed and if no diagnostic flags have been set high.

8.7.4 Diagnostic Flags

The EC100 operating system has extensive self-diagnostic capabilities.

TABLE 8-3 lists 23 (numbered 0 through 22) diagnostic flags that allow the

user to identify problems associated with the operation and the performance of

the EC100 electronics and the gas analyzer. There is one master flag

(

BAD_DATA, or flag 0) that is set when measurements are compromised.
