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.
