Thermo Fisher Scientific
The TEOM 3600 PDM status codes ("error conditions") are as follows:
TE not detected. This error is reported when the PDM unit senses that
●
the mass transducer has been removed from the unit.
High filter load. This error is reported when the PDM unit senses that
●
the TEOM filter is approaching its maximum capacity. At this point,
the filter can accept approximately -50 mm-Hg of additional
particulate matter load before it must be replaced with a new TEOM
filter (Section 2). This error is reported when the minimum filter
differential pressure exceeds -110 millimeters-Hg (-4.3 inches-Hg).
Flow out of range. This error is reported when the main flow rate
●
(l/min) deviates from its set point by 0.2 l/min for more than 60
seconds.
Mass offset error. This error is reported when the PDM unit detects an
●
instantaneous, significant and sustained change in the total mass value.
It is designed to indicate that an event has occurred that may invalidate
the current sample run.
CPU fault. The PDM unit has detected a problem with its internal
●
CPU board.
Power low. The PDM unit has detected that the power remaining in
●
the battery has reached a critically low level.
TE frequency. The TE frequency is outside the acceptable range for
●
more than 60 seconds.
PDM CPU reset. The PDM has detected an error with the internal
●
CPU board and has reset the program.
Power low shutdown. If the PDM senses the power low condition for
●
more than 5 minutes, the instrument will shutdown to protect the
CPU.
User can view, download and store several different types of information at
the end of a primary or programmed sample run using the WinPDM
Data
software. Refer to Chapter 3 for complete information on configuring,
viewing and downloading data
1. Following a primary or programmed sample run, connect the PDM
unit to its charger and the charger to the PC. Ensure that the charger
and the PDM are both functioning correctly.
2. Start the WinPDM software application and select the "Download
Sample" button.
