8 Troubleshooting
This chapter helps to resume operation after a minor problem has occurred with the instrument. It lists
possible occurrences, their probable cause and suggests how to remedy the problem.
The troubleshooting table below lists possible malfunctions and errors of the instrument. The operator
is enabled to correct some of those problems or errors by him/herself. For this, appropriate corrective
measures are listed in the column “Corrective measure”.
The elimination of more complicated malfunctions or errors is usually performed by a BUCHI technical
engineer who has access to the official service manuals. In this case, please refer to your local BUCHI
customer service agent.
