2487 Dual-Wavelength Absorbance Detector lost communication - WKB107796

Article number: 107796

SYMPTOMS

  • 2487 Dual-Wavelength Absorbance Detector lost communication
  • "Instrument Failure" in message center
  • Status NO in Node properties
  • Serial number missing from instrument display

ENVIRONMENT

  • 2487 Dual-Wavelength Absorbance Detector
  • Empower 3

CAUSE

The battery was replaced, causing the IEEE address to default to 4 and the serial number to be missing. This caused a conflict with another 2487 detector with the same IEEE address of 4.

FIX or WORKAROUND

Re-enter the serial number from the front panel and set the IEEE address to 5, or any address that is not used by other IEEE equipment.
