Troubleshooting Using Test Function Values - Teledyne 300 Instruction Manual

10.4 Troubleshooting using test function values

The Model 300 provides the capability to display, on operator demand, the values of Test
Functions which allow the observation of key analyzer operating parameters. These Test
Functions can be accessed by depressing the TEST Button on the instrument's front
panel, with each depression of the button causing the next test function to be displayed.
By comparing the values of Test Functions to acceptable operating limits, it is possible to
quickly isolate and correct most problems.
IF THE VALUE OF ANY TEST FUNCTION IS DISPLAYED
AS "XXXX", THIS INDICATES THAT THE READING IS
OFF SCALE OR OTHERWISE NON-VALID.
Table 10-2 provides a list of available Test Functions along with their meaning, their
range of acceptable values, and the recommended corrective actions if the value is not in
the acceptable range. Additionally, Table 1-1 in this manual provides a list of the values
of all Test Functions at the time the analyzer left the factory.
