Electrostatic Classifier Error Messages
Error Message
Description
Impactor Not Detected
Differential pressure ≥ 0.5 kPa but no impactor is detected.
Low Aerosol Flow
Differential pressure ≤ 0.2 kPa and impactor is detected.
High Impactor dP
Differential pressure > 9.5 kPa.
DMA Not Detected
DMA not detected with Classifier.
Sheath Flow Error
The sheath flow is 2% outside the target set point for more
than 5 seconds
DMA Voltage Error
The high voltage reading is not within 25V of the high voltage
set point, in Classifier mode.
DMA Voltage Self-
Check Error
The high voltage self-check test, automatically conducted at
start-up, has failed. The HV reading is more than 25V off at
50V and/or 9750V.
Case Temp Error
The classifier internal case temperature is > 50°C or < 5°C.
Neutralizer Detection
Error
Both 3077(A) and 3088 neutralizer detected at the same
time.
Neutralizer Not Active
Warning
No neutralizer is detected, or the 3088 X-ray neutralizer is
detected but is not ON.
3088 Maximum Hours
Exceeded
The run time of the x-ray emission source in the Model 3088
Neutralizer has exceeded 8760 hours.
3088 Neutralization
Error
The Model 3088 neutralizer is reporting an error and is not
neutralizing.
Detector Data Error
Detector internal data buffer is filled and there was data
loss between detector and classifier.
Flowmeter Error
Flowmeter is not connected.
Sheath Pressure Error
The sheath flow pressure is outside of the range 17-128 kPa,
or the sheath flow pressure sensor is damaged.
Blower Current Error
The sheath flow blower is drawing 3A or greater.
Efficiency File Error
The CPC efficiency file is missing from the firmware, or there
was an error when opening it.
Data Logging Error
There was an error when logging data.
Charge Correction File
Error
The neutralizer charge correction file is missing from the
firmware, or there was an error when opening it.
Detector Firmware Not
Supported
The CPC firmware is not supported by the 3082. CPC
firmware upgrade needs to be downloaded.
Sheath Flow warning
The Sheath Flow rate has not yet reached target setpoint.
Memory Low
<5 % of memory is available to log data.
Memory Full
<1% of memory is available to log data. Data will no longer
be saved when memory reaches 0%.
Notes: If connected to a detector, errors and warnings from the detector will
also appear on the classifier display. For a list of the possible errors
and warnings see “Related Product Literature” for the associated
detector manuals.
See “Chapter 6, Troubleshooting” for further details on each error.
