Incorrect Coil Factor entered Ensure that the correct Coil Factor is entered
during the testing procedure; see Entering the
Coil Factor section on page 8.
Carbon Potential is not within the effective range
of 0.1% to 1.3%
Actual Carbon Potential is not within the effective
range of the unit
Soak time too long or too short
% Carbon shown must be within the effective
range in order to be reliable. A different method
of measuring Carbon Potential may be needed in
such a case.
Re-test using an unused wire. Ensure that soak
times shown in Table 2 are applied as indicated.
Wire becomes detached from insertion rod
during soak in testing atmosphere
Unsecured attachment Before inserting rod into testing atmosphere,
verify that wire coil is in place securely for
