Suggested Corrective Actions - Ametek 241CE II Operator's Manual

The status codes in Example 2 indicate:
• The light paths are obscured by debris or other matter.
• The hydrocarbon dewpoint temperature is very high.
• The Thermoelectric Cooler could not cool the mirror to its Low set-
point temperature.
• The mirror could not warm up to its High setpoint temperature.
The combination of status codes in Example 2 indicates:
• The surrounding ambient temperature is too low or the High setpoint
temperature for the mirror is too high, and
• The Measuring Cell is contaminated, probably due to being flooded
with liquid hydrocarbons.
The necessary corrective actions for Example 2 are:
• Reduce the High setpoint temperature, if necessary, or upgrade the
heating of the enclosure/shelter in which the analyzer is installed.
• Clean the Measuring Cell, clean the Filterblock Assembly, replace the
Membrane Filters, and clean or replace the Sample Lines.

Suggested Corrective Actions

Most of the alarms, SCodes, and XSCodes are for informational purposes
or are warnings of minor occurrences during the measurement cycle
that may be limiting the capability or range of the analyzer. Although
these warnings should be investigated, all of them do not always require
corrective action. For those that do, suggested corrective actions to correct
the problems are provided in the SCodes and XSCodes troubleshooting
charts. A fault alarm always requires corrective action, even if it is only to
reset the alarms. If the problem persists after following these suggestions,
contact the nearest AMETEK Service Centre or Distributor, or the
AMETEK Canada factory for assistance.
