Multiple Error Codes
Posted: Thu Jan 17, 2019 3:42 pm
Hello, I was using my GC per usual (same types of samples, same method, etc.) when it stopped before finishing all the samples. It had an error code reading "No CAR1 FLOW Module at Connection 1". My helium was a little low so I ordered a replacement and switched it out. Turned the machine back on: same error message. Since then, other error messages have popped up as well. In order they are:
No CAR1 FLOW Module at Connection 1
No CAR2 SPLIT Module at Connection 12
No DTF1 FLOW Module at Connection 5
No DTF3 FLOW Module at Connection 7
Warning: Car1 Inlet <50 Psi, Press CE
and finally, INSTRUMENT SHUTDOWN Pkd 1 PRT ERROR
I have not had much experience troubleshooting errors with this machine but have tried replacing the tank, checking for flow (barely any), I re-cut the column to make sure it wasn't clogged. I do have another column I can replace the current one with (this was a suggestion from someone else).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time,
Brie G.
