GAS ANALYZER 355 7.0 DATA LIST PARAMETER DESCRIPTION HYDROCARBONS (HC) UNITS PPM RANGE 0 - 20,000 Hydrocarbons (HC) are basically particles of raw, unburned fuel or oil. The most common cause of excessive HC emissions is misfire due to ignition, fuel delivery, or air induction problems. Other causes include lean or rich air/fuel mixtures, excessive EGR dilution, clogged injectors, incorrect ignition timing, low cylinder compression, and intake valve deposits.
356 GAS ANALYZER AIR/FUEL RATIO (AFR) UNITS numeric RANGE 0 - 150 Air/fuel ratio, or AFR, is useful to determine how close the engine is running at stoichiometric conditions. A reading of 14.7 represents the ideal balance between power and fuel economy. Less than 14.7 defines rich, greater than defines lean.

358 GAS ANALYZER A. TROUBLE SHOOTING: IF YOU'RE HAVING A PROBLEM The Gas Analyzer is a very sophisticated piece of test equipment. Occasionally problems occur. The Gas Analyzer has extensive on-board self-diagnostics that generate warning or error messages if a problem is detected. You may find some problems first.
GAS ANALYZER 359 5. O2S Cal Warning The Oxygen Calibration Warning message indicates that the oxygen sensor did not measure the minimum voltage required for a fixed oxygen setting. This occurs for the following reasons: the oxygen sensor connector is not connected, not enough air flow is reaching the oxygen sensor, or the oxygen sensor has reached the end of its useful life. If the first two conditions are met, then replace the oxygen sensor. 6.
360 GAS ANALYZER 11. Bench Warning An internal hardware problem has been detected. This warning may occur if the Gas Analyzer is still warming up, in which case wait until the unit has finished warming prior to recycling power. Repower the unit and check to see if the messages clears. 12. Communications Failure The Tester cannot communicate with the Gas Analyzer. Check the power connection to the Gas Analyzer. The fan should be blowing out of the front panel.
GAS ANALYZER 361 4. Does not read zero when sampling ambient air If the hydrocarbons (HC) reading is above 20 ppm immediately following a zeroing and the probe is not measuring vehicle exhaust, this is considered a Hydrocarbon Hangup condition. This is caused by HC residues trapped somewhere in the sample system. First re-zero the Gas Analyzer. Next, run the analyzer sampling through the sample port with the hose off to determine if the residue is in the hose.
362 GAS ANALYZER B. QUESTIONS MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED 1. How often should the Gas Analyzer sampling and drain filters be replaced? For the sampling filter, two to four weeks, based on usage. If, after zeroing and while sampling fresh air, the NOx value is greater than 20 ppm, check for excessive residue on the inside of the filter; it may need to be replaced. The drain filter should be replaced every two to three months, based on usage. 2.
GAS ANALYZER 363 10. How do I know if my Gas Analyzer is reading correctly? There are several ways to determine if your analyzer is displaying correct emissions readings. See Calibration Verification on page 353. 11. While checking the PXA-1000 with the propane calibration gas, the HC readings are reading half of the value listed on the bottle. Does my Gas Analyzer need to be recalibrated? No.
