Analyzer error
messages
For a list of standard error codes and for more information, please refer to Troubleshooting.
Analyzer warnings There are two types of warning messages displayed: general warnings that may not necessarily
affect the instrument’s function (for example, battery power low), and operational parameters that
could affect the performance of the analyzer (for example, CO
2
out of calibration).
B
Battery charge A full battery charge will take approximately three hours.
C
Calibration The process that an instrument will undergo to enable it to measure and display the various
parameters in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification.
Chemical cell Type of gas detector fitted internally to the analyzer at the time of manufacture.
Clean air purge Process used to clear out gas from the inlet pipe and the analyzer’s gas sensors prior to taking a
new reading.
CO
2
Carbon dioxide gas.
Contrast
adjustment
Adjustable setting which darkens or lightens the text displayed on the screen. Typically, this is
used to compensate for different environmental temperatures. High temperature causes the
display background to darken, and low temperature causes the display to lighten.
D
Data logging A mode of operation that enables the user to leave the analyzer unattended to take readings
automatically at predetermined times. The reading interval and pump run time may be adjusted
prior to commencing the logging cycle.
Download Terminology used to describe the transfer of data from the analyzer to a PC via the optional
Analyzer Data Manager.
E
Event log Record of significant events in the life of the analyzer. Used as an aid to monitoring the use of the
analyzer. It can also be used as a diagnostic tool if there is a problem with the analyzer. The
event log can be viewed via the Galaxy Gas Analyzer - Analyzer Data Manager. It cannot be
viewed on the analyzer screen.
Exhaust port The point at which the gas exits the analyzer. This is located on the top of the analyzer. It is
threaded to take an M5 hose-barb to allow an exhaust tube to be attached if required.
Exhaust tube Clear plastic tubing used to route gases from the exhaust port.
F
Factory settings Default calibration settings preset at time of factory calibration.
Firmware Firmware is the name given to the analyzer’s internal software. This can be programmed using
the re-flash command on the optional Analyzer Data Manager.
