Condition
A large concentration has been detected. The
Midas
requires an independent confirmation that
®
the gas hazard is gone.
The user specified calibration interval has elapsed. Perform zero and span calibrations. Increase span calibration period.
Cartridge is old and will expire soon.
Midas
is no longer able to regulate flow (high or
®
low flow condition).
An interferent is degrading the ability of the
Midas
to detect gas.
®
Temperature within 2 Celsius of limit.
Sensor baseline has drifted.
Transmitter has been in inhibit mode too long.
User has generated a simulated fault.
Sensor has been exposed to high gas
concentrations for long periods.
Sensor baseline has drifted.
Too long since last calibration.
Cartridge is too old.
Cartridge has failed Reflex™ check.
Cartridge has failed to stabilize.
Electronic Failure or gas concentration greater
than full scale.
Checksum error.
No communications.
Cartridge type found to be incorrect after boot-up.
Temperature is outside limits
Flow < 70% of nominal for 15 seconds.
Internal electronics repeatedly noisy.
Midas
Reset simulated fault.
Supply known clean air to the Midas
Replace the cartridge with a new cartridge.
Check filters and pump.
Check pressure at inlet and outlet and assure they are within specification.
(See
Section 4.3 Sample and exhaust tubing
Check application.
Check installation environment.
Check for background gas concentration, temperature or humidity fluctuations.
Perform zero calibration. Replace cartridge.
Resume monitoring or increase timeout value.
Reset simulated fault.
Replace cartridge.
Check for background gas concentration, temperature or humidity fluctuations.
Perform zero calibration. Replace cartridge.
Replace or calibrate the cartridge.
Replace cartridge.
Replace cartridge.
If temperature or humidity shocks exist, precondition the cartridge. Check for
background gas concentration. Replace cartridge.
Replace cartridge.
Replace cartridge.
Reseat cartridge. Replace cartridge.
Replace cartridge or press
Check installation environment.
Check filters. Check for kinked tubing, Replace pump.
Check grounding of Midas
Relocate the Midas
further from noise sources. Add ferrite inductors to cables.
