This chapter describes errors and alarms detected by the self-diagnostics function of the
averaging converter. It also explains inspections and remedies when other problems
occur.
12.1 Displays and Remedies When Errors Occur
12.1.1 Error Types
An error occurs when an abnormality is detected in the detector or averaging converter,
e.g., in the cell (sensor), detector heater, or internal circuits of the averaging converter.
An error (message and error contact) will not be canceled even after the cause of the
error has been removed. Follow the procedure below to cancel an error.
An individual channel error can be canceled by using the hot swap function, i.e., by
turning off/on the power to the channel where the error is occurring. An system error
can be canceled by turning off/on the main power. There are five types of errors as
shown in the table below.

3) After warm-up, heater temperature falls below 7308C or exceeds
7808C for 10 seconds or longer continuously.
