Analyzer error messages For a list of standard error codes and for more
information, please refer to Section 8.0 Problem
Solving.
Analyzer warnings There are two types of warning messages dis-
played; general warnings that may not necessar-
ily affect the instrument’s function, for example
battery power low, and operational parameters that
could affect the performance of the analyzer, for
example CO
2
out of calibration.
Battery charge A full battery charge will take approximately three
hours.
Calibration The process that an instrument will undergo to
enable it to measure and display the various
parameters in accordance with the manufacturer’s
specifi cation.
Chemical cell Type of gas detector which can be fi tted internally
to the analyzer at the time of manufacture.
Clean air purge Process used to clear out gas from the inlet pipe
and the analyzer’s gas sensors prior to taking a
new reading.
CO
2
Carbon dioxide gas.
Contrast adjustment Adjustable setting which darkens or lightens the
text displayed on the screen. Typically, this is
used to compensate for different environmental
temperatures. High temperature causes the
display to darken and low temperature causes the
display to lighten.
Data logging A mode of operation that enables the user to
leave the analyzer unattended to take readings
automatically at predetermined times. The reading
interval and pump run-time may be adjusted prior
to commencing the logging cycle.
Download Terminology used to describe the transfer of
data from the analyzer to a PC via the optional
software.
PC software The optional software enables the user to
maximize the operation of the incubator analyzer.
Instrument readings and event log data may be
installed to a PC for further analysis and exported
to other applications such as MS Excel.
