Blue indicator light for Detector Temperature in Qtegra

Environment

iCAP 6000 Series
iCAP 7000 Series

Resolution

The blue icon in Qtegra Dashboard is only an indication that the detector temperature is lower than -50°C which is not a problem for measurements. The iCAP will still perform perfectly well and no immediate action needs to be taken.

However, if one sees drifting peak positions and this temperature reads -55 degrees ( in iTEVA), then the Camera needs replacing.

Please note: The chiller needs to be switched on for the camera to cool.

To check the exact temperature in iTEVA, perform the following:

1) Open iTEVA

2) Select admin from dropdown menu and click Ok

3) Click the Instrument Status icon

4) The detector (Camera) Temperature will be displayed in this window.
