Error Messages - Industrial Scientific DSX Product Manual

Error Messages

The station's red LED light indicates one of these general conditions:
• There is error with the docking station.
• The docking station is unable to communicate with the gas cylinders, the internet, or iNet.
• The instrument is in some state of failure.
Read the docking station's display message and refer to Table 5.1 for information about possible causes,
status, and recommended actions.

Possible causes or status
More than one installed sensor failed bump
test. The display message will indicate the in-
failure sensors and recommend checking the
gas connections. (H2S and CO shown)
Low gas flow detected; the bump test is
stopped until proper flow is restored.
One or more installed sensors failed
calibration. The display message will indicate
the in-failure sensors. (H2S shown)
Low gas flow detected; the calibration is
stopped until proper flow is restored.
Indicates a possible error in the cylinder
connections. The part number of the affected
cylinder is displayed.
The docking station is unable to communicate
with the docked instrument. This may indicate
a low or dead battery, or an issue is
preventing the instrument from charging. For
example, the instrument was docked after
exposure to cold weather or excess heat was
generated during charging.
The docking station configuration in iNet
Control supports both fresh air and zero-
grade air on port one.
The docking station configuration in iNet
Control supports fresh air on port one.
The docking station configuration in iNet
Control supports a zero-grade air cylinder on
port one.

Recommended actions
Check the gas connections. If the sensor
type requires a manual bump test,
undock the instrument and bump test the
sensor; otherwise, use the docking
station to complete an on-demand bump
test.
Check all external tubing, gas cylinder,
and regulator. Perform an on-demand
bump test, once flow is restored.
If the sensor type requires manual
calibration, undock the instrument and
calibrate the sensor; otherwise, use the
docking station to complete an on-
demand calibration.
Replace any sensors that will no longer
pass calibration.
Check all external tubing, gas cylinder,
and regulator. Perform a calibration once
flow is restored.
Check the cable and tubing connections
at the back of the station, the card-
reader, and the cylinder's regulator. Be
sure that each cable and tubing pair is
connected to one port set (i.e., the
cables or the tubes are not "cross
connected").
If the error persists, check the
instrument's battery and replace if
needed.
Ensure a calibration gas cylinder is not
connected to this port.
Connect a fresh air fitting to port one.
Connect a zero-grade air cylinder to the
fresh air port set.
