General Information

This chapter provides cause and action on commonly found faults on the DataFID instrument. If the

DataFID Fault Messages

When the “Check” status is displayed, the DataFID’s operation is compromised. Go to the “View menu –

List error codes” menu selection to obtain a description of the fault. One exception is the flame out fault.

When a Flame-out fault occurs, the instrument display will show “flame out”.

Fault: Detector flame has gone out.

Cause: The hydrogen gas has run out.

Action: Ensure the shut-off valve is open.

Action: Refill the hydrogen fuel cylinder if necessary

Cause: Oxygen supply is deficient.

Action: Ensure there is an adequate supply of oxygen. If you are

sampling very high concentrations, it is possible you are sampling

above the flame out concentration. The flame out concentration

for methane is approximately 52,000 ppm (5.2% methane in air).

A minimum of 17% oxygen is required to start the hydrogen

flame. The oxygen is supplied from the sample as it is drawn in

by the pump. A minimum of 10% oxygen is required to maintain

the hydrogen flame.
