Possible Cause
The reagent gas regulator is closed.
Action
Check and, if necessary, open the reagent gas regulator.
Possible Cause The reagent gas regulator is set to the wrong pressure.
Action

(20 – 70 kPa) for isobutane or ammonia.
Possible Cause
The valve on the reagent gas bottle is closed.
Action Check and, if necessary, open the valve on the reagent gas bottle.
Possible Cause
The reagent gas supply is empty.
Action
Check, and if necessary, replace the reagent gas supply.
Possible Cause
