Error: Hydrocarbon vapor alarm.
Hi
I get the "Hydrocarbon vapor alarm" message every time i run a sample. Although, i checked the valves, the tubing etc and apparently there is no leak in the system anywhere.
I referred to the manual and it mentioned that increase the threshold of the sensor up to 500 in the hydrocarbon screen so that it may not trip again and again.
Can anyone tell me the steps how to increase this solvent threshold in the "Hydrocarbon screen"? as i am unable to do it, Please.
Many Thanks.
Best
