Fuse Replacement; Troubleshooting - Hach Lachat BD40 Manuel D'utilisation

Fuse replacement

Fuses are not user-serviceable items. The need for fuse replacement in controllers indicates severe
technical failure and is therefore considered to be a service activity. If a blown fuse is suspected,
contact Technical Support.

Troubleshooting

Problems with the digestion block cause an alarm to sound and a safety message to show on the
controller display. The controller will no longer apply heat to the digestion block and it will start to
cool. Refer to Table 5.
After the problem is resolved:
• Push CONTINUE to clear the message and let it occur again if necessary.
• Push SUSPEND to disable the message until the system is powered off.
