Safety Instructions for Handling O2 and NO Sensors
The O2 and NO sensors are supplied fully sealed and under norma l circumstances do not
represent any hazard to health.
The following instructions apply in the event of a sensor developing a leak.
• Before you remove a sensor from the gas-tight original packaging, check it for leaks.
• If you detect damage caused by a leak, always av oid contact with the skin.
• In this event, use rubber gloves and goggles.
The O
are hazardous to health (e.g. caustic potash solution and lead).
When replacing sensors, check both the old and the new one for
leaks.
and NO sensors contain caustic and other substances that

First Aid
• Contact with the eyes
− Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes - consult a doctor immediately.
• Contact with the skin
− Remove contaminated clothing immediately.
− Wash the affected pa rt of the body thoroughly with water.
− If a burning sensation is felt on the skin, consult a doctor immediately.

2. Error Messages and Troubleshooting
2.1 4-/5-Gas Measuring Instruments Unit
2.1.1 Gas Flow Insufficient
Check the following:
• Is the exhaust gas probe nozzle blocked?
− Clean the probe out with compressed air.
CAUTION - before doing so, always disconnect the probe from the tester!
• Is the measurement gas outlet blocked?
• Is the flexible probe hose kinked or is there a heavy object on the hose that is stopping
the gas flow?
• Check the paper filter in the filter housing
− If the filter is black, replace it.
− Always carry out a leak test after replacing a filter.
A soiled filter can cause soiling or even damage to the
measurement cell.
If the above measures do not solve the problem, the hose system must be blocked (in the
measuring instruments unit) or the pump is defective.
Remove the measuring instruments unit (see Dismantling the 4-/5-Gas Measuring
Instruments Unit) and check the hose system and pump (see 4-/5-Gas Measuring
Instruments Unit).
Service Manual2-1
Error Messages and TroubleshootingAVL 4000
2.1.2 System Needs Restarting
If two consecutive attempts at restarting do not return the tester to normal operating
mode, the measuring instruments unit must be defective.
• Remove the unit (see Dismantling the 4-/5-Gas Measuring Instruments Unit) and
check the
− measuring cell
− receiver
− light source
• Check the cable between the main board and the measuring instruments unit
2.1.3 Measuring Chamber Temperature Too High
•
Remove the probe from the exhaust pipe (because when this error occurs, the tester
switches to zero calibration mode and needs to draw in fresh air).
• Do not switch the tester off!
• Wait at least 10 min
• Acknowledge the error by pressing >>,
− Select “Measurement” again.
• If the same error message appears again, there is a fault in the measuring instruments
unit.
• Remove the unit (see Dismantling the 4-/5-Gas Measuring Instruments Unit).
• Check the cable to the receiver / replace the unit if necessary (i.e. filter/receiver).
2-2Service Manual
4000Error Messages and Troubleshooting
2.1.4 Measuring Chamber Pressure Wrong
•
Check whether the measurement gas outlet is blocked.
• If it is, remove blockage and acknowledge by pressing >>.
• If you are unable to remedy the error, the measuring instruments unit must be
defective.
• Remove the unit (see Dismantling the 4-/5-Gas Measuring Instruments Unit).
• Check whether the hose system is blocked (with deposits or conde nsate; see Layout of
Pneumatics).
• Check or replace the pressure sensor (see Pressure Sensor).
2.1.5 Leak Test Failed
• If the tester fails its own leak test, check the entire sampling line for lea ks from the tip
of the probe to the inlet on the rear panel of the tester.
• If you find no leaks, disconnect the probe hose from the tester.
• Connect a 2 m hose that is guaranteed leakproof to the inlet port of the teste r, close it
off and carry out another le ak test.
− If the system passes the test, the leak must be in the probe/hose assembly.
− If the system fails the leak test, check the O-rings in the filter housing and
condensate trap and check whether the connections for the probe hose and
condensate drainage hose are leaking. Replace the tester’s filter, including the
probe pre-filter.
− If the system still fails the leak test, there must be a lea k inside the system or the
pump is too weak.
• Also check whether the tester has been stored with condensate in it at temperatures
below 0° C (leaks may be caused by ice).

2.1.6 Replace O2 Sensor
When the O2 sensor needs replacing, the appropriate message is output on the display.

2.2 Opacity Measuring Chamber
2.2.1 Measuring Chamber Too Hot/Too Cold
If the error message "Measuring chambe r too hot" occurs during operation, remove the
probe from the exhaust pipe and wait until the temperature returns to the permitted
range. Acknowledge the message by pressing >>.
If the error message "Measuring chamber too cold" is displayed, the chamber has been
cooled by cold exhaust gas. Wait until the measuring chamber has heated up again to at
least 80° C and acknowledge the message by pressing >>.
If the measuring chamber temperature does not return to the permitted range after
several attempts (2 to 3 times), there must be a fault.
•If the temperature is still too low, one of the heating blocks has probably fa iled (see
Operating Manual - Heating Function Test or section 6.6 Heating Blocks and Orifice
Plates) or a temperature sensor has failed (see section 6.8 Temperature Sensor).
•If the temperature is still too high, the feedback control system is malfunctioning (see
section. 4.2.1 Main Board). But check the temperature sensor as well, just in case.
2.2.2 Changeover Valve Error
This message suggests failure of the changeover valve in the opacity measuring chamber.
•Replace changeover valve.
Do not lubricate the changeover valve.

2.3 Linearity / Opacity Error,
2.3.1 Opacity Measuring Chamber, Type A
If either of these messages occur, proceed as follows.
•Fold the optical elements of the opacity measuring chamber to the side, out of the
way;
•Check that both lamps are working - they must both be on.
Replace lamps, if necessary (see section 6.9 Lamp Module).
•Clean the glass disc in front of the optical elements.(see Operating Manual, Cleaning
the Optical Elements of the Opacity Measuring Chamber).
•Fold the optical elements back into place and acknowledge the message by pressing
>> - you will then see the main opacimeter menu.
2.3.2 Opacity Measuring Chamber, Type 4000
Remove the lens protector from the opacity measuring chamber and check the windows –
clean if necessary.
• Press << to start an automatic calibration.
− If the instrument calibrates itself successfully, you will find yourself in the main
menu.
− If the calibra tion f ails, the error message is displayed again. Press >> to call up the
diesel service screen for further error diagnosis.
