2.5 Drying gas pressure controller cannot regulate the requested setting after a fixed amount of time.

Probable Causes

Obstruction or lack of pressure in gas supply

Leak or blocked filter

Bad drying gas control module

Bad main board

Suggested Actions

Set the Gas Flow to 0 l/min; check that the gas supply pressure is between 80 psi and 100 psi.

Replace or temporarily bypass any gas filters.

Check all of the gas connections for leaks.

Check the cable connections at the gas flow modules. If a cable is disconnected, vent and turn off power before plugging the cable back in.

Slowly, turn up the Gas Flow (1 L every 20 seconds) and monitor the actual value in the Method > Source Section (LC/MS). If the Gas Flow works at a low flow setting but not at a high flow setting, look for an obstruction or limitation from the gas supply.

If this error continues to occur, copy this error on the screen and contact Agilent for more help.
