The clock battery voltage is low or a main board failure has
occurred. Contact technical support.
Adjust the sample pressure so that it is within the instrument
requirements. Refer to Specifications on page 3.
Look at the clear (drain) tubing during the measurement cycle. If the
sample flow does not stop after approximately 75 seconds, the
sample flow rate is too high.
If this alarm occurs when the sample pressure is within
specification, make sure the sample filter is correctly installed. Refer
to Items to collect on page 14 for the sample filter specifications.
If the problem continues, replace the sample conditioning module.
Refer to the clinic operating procedures.
