It is advisable in each case to isolate the fault with the rapid and easy to perform diagnostic tests. The customer thus need not call METROHM service until there is a true fault in the in- strument. In addition, with the aid of the numbering in the diagnostic program he can provide the service engineer with much more accurate information.
