Marin-5 Operator’s Manual Troubleshooting the Marin-5 Troubleshooting the Marin-5 The Marin-5 is both easy to operate and reliable. However, problems with the system may occur. If good performance is not obtained, try to isolate the problem to determine if it originates in the ICP-AES or ICP-MS instrument, sample preparation procedure, or the Marin-5. This chapter explains how to troubleshoot Marin-5 problems. If you cannot solve a problem using the steps given in this chapter, contact CETAC Technologies Customer Service and Support. Phone: (800) 369-2822 (USA only) (402) 733-2829 Fax: (402) 733-1932 E-Mail: custserv@cetac.com Temperature Controller Problems 1 Temperature controllers do not illuminate. • The power cord may not be plugged into the AC wall outlet. Plug in power cord. • Main fuses may be blown. Replace main fuses. See page 6-4 “Main Fuse Replacement.” 2 Display of temperature controller reads “Er 4.” • Open thermocouple, bad connection, or broken wire. Replace/repair thermocouple wire. Contact CETAC Customer Service. 7-2
Marin-5 Operator’s Manual Troubleshooting the Marin-5 3 Temperature controller stops illuminating. • Thermal safety switch tripped due to excessive temperature. Heat controller or solid-state relay is defective. Contact CETAC Customer Service. Solution Drainage Problems 1 Liquid waste is not removed from the Marin-5. • Adjust tension on drain pump to improve liquid waste flow. • Check for wear or damage to drain pump tubing. Replace tubing if necessary. 2 Drain pump will not operate. • Contact CETAC Customer Service. Nebulizer / Plasma Problems 1 Poor and/or unstable aerosol generation. • Insufficient nebulizer gas flow or pressure. The Argon nebulizer gas flow should be in a 0.5 - 1.1 L/min range. If such a flow range cannot be achieved, there may be insufficient nebulizer gas pressure. Increase inlet pressure (not to exceed 100 psi or 700kPa.). Normal operating pressure for the Marin-5 is 40 psi argon pressure. If the ICP-AES or ICP-MS cannot achieve 40 psi, alternative plumbing may be required. • Uptake line may be obstructed or damaged. Replace the nebulizer uptake line. • Leak in the nebulizer gas line. Inspect the nebulizer gas line to make certain that all connections are correct and leak-free. If the line is leaking, repair with appropriate tubing. 7-3
