  • Page 9 Electronic Troubleshooting INTRODUCTION This section is intended to aid the operator and service engineer in the troubleshooting process, i.e., of going from symptom to cause. It has been subdivided into four subsections by type of symptom. Part A covers the most obvious indications of problems. The instrument apparently (generally when first turned on) doesn’...
  • Page 10 PART A NON- FUNCTIONING INSTRUMENT A totally non- functioning or DEAD instrument is one that apparently isn’ t working at all. It has no visual indications (i.e., messages) on its front panel and produces no noise or heat. The most obvious cause for such a problem is that line power is not reaching the instrument or that the instrument is not turned on.
  • Page 11 Power On Sequence As long as correct Line Voltage is provided to the instrument, the following events should occur when the instrument’ s Line Power Switch is placed in its ON position. Main Transformer (T1) primary winding is energized (fused by F2 on AC Board or F1 & F2 if split phase). (Refer to Section 9 of the IPB portion of this document for main PCB information.) The three secondary windings (3 VAC, 40 VAC, and 120 VAC) of T1 are energized.
  • Page 12 FAULT: WARN: The FATAL ERR: message is the most serious. This class of message indicates that the HP 5890 SE- RIES II is essentially nonfunctional. The instrument will always go to a NOT READY state and even the keyboard is inoperative.
  • Page 13 MPC. The FAULT: message indicates that a major subsystem of the HP 5890 SERIES II is not functioning properly. Although the operation of the suspected subsystem is suspended until the problem is cor- rected, the balance of the GC is operational.
  • Page 14 FAULT: INET RAM indicates that the RAM chip on the Interface Board is not responding properly. Typi- cally, the RAM chip on the Interface Board should be replaced. FAULT: INET ROM indicates that the ROM chip on the Interface Board is not responding properly. Typi- cally, the ROM chip on the Interface Board should be replaced.
  • Page 15 PART C OPERATOR INSTIGATED INDICATIONS This section discusses the visual information that the operator can instigate and use as part of the trou- bleshooting process. These visual indications are normally not available unless specifically requested by the operator. There are several functions of the CALIB AND TEST (Clear Dot) modes that can be used as a diagnos- tic tool.
  • Page 16 The Minus key decrements the address. The ENTER key switches the type of value presentation. The binary display mode can be entered from the hexadecimal mode by pressing . If already in the binary mode, it will return to the hexadecimal mode.
  • Page 17 Check setpoints on both the HP 5890 SERIES II and the integrating/recording device.
  • Page 18 Volt Ohm Ampmeter. The HP 5890 Series II GC contains a minimum of four and a maximum of nine electronic boards. The four boards always installed are one of the AC Power Boards, the Keyboard and Display Board(usually done as one module), and the Main Board.
  • Page 19 Connectors 1 thru 15 are used to connect the Main Board either with the other electronic assemblies within the instrument or external devices, such as an integrator.

  • Page 65: Electronic Flow Sensor (Efs) Calibration

    Electronic Flow Sensor (EFS) Calibration Electronic flow sensor (EFS) calibration may be performed any time to ensure displayed flow rate accu- rately represents real gas flow rate through the sensor. The EFS is factory calibrated for four standard gases, H2, He, N2, and Ar/CH4, within the flow rate range of 0 to 100 ml/min. This covers the majority of chromatographic applications.
  • Page 66: Setting The Gain Calibration Value

    2. DISCONNECT the gas source to the particular flow channel being calibrated. DO NOT trust an on/off valve, pressure regulator, or mass flow controller to be an effective shutoff device; ANY gas flowing through the EFS will invalidate the ZERO calibration value. Disconnect the source at any convenient point (e.g., at the connection of the supply line into the instrument).

    LIQUID SAMPLE VALVES (LSVs) Liquid sampling valves are designed for use with liquefied gases under pressure such as ethane, propane, butane, LNG, etc. They are not intended for nonvolatile liquids (at room conditions) where a concealed leak may allow an accumulation or pool of liquid to form that may present a significant fire hazard. All standard liquid sample valves have 1/16 inch fittings and are classified by the sample size of the installed rotor (0.2mL, 0.5mL, or 1mL capacity).

  • Page 250 Often confused with baseline upsets, an offset is a shift in the baseline that does not return quickly to the original level. Baseline offsets may be caused by air leaks but more commonly are due to a change in gas purity or flow rate in the detector.
