occurred
Call for service.
Filter line disconnected. The sampling line is not connected to the monitor Connect a sampling line to the
monitor.
Check to ensure that the
sampling line plug is tightly
connected to the monitor.
Check for occlusion in gas line. The purge cycle failed to clear a blockage in the
sampling line
Replace the sampling line.
CO2 temperature out of range. CO2
might not be accurate.
CO2 module temperature is out of range Wait for the module temperature
to return to normal and the
module to reset before
calibrating CO2.
Move to a location where the
ambient temperature enables the
module temperature to return to
normal and the module to reset
before calibrating CO2.
Connect or clear filter line. Calibration failed because sampling line is
blocked or kinked
Check sampling line for
obstruction or kinks. Replace the
filter line if necessary.
Module is not ready for calibration because the

Check calibration gas
concentration.
The calibration gas is not flowing Check that the calibration gas is
turned on.
The calibration gas has the wrong CO2
concentration
Check that the calibration gas
has the correct concentration.
Check calibration gas flow. The calibration gas flow is unstable Check the sampling line for kinks
