Why are the readings noisy on my 2B Technologies Monitor?
- T
  Traci DeanAug 16, 2025
  Noisy readings on your 2B Technologies Monitor can stem from a few causes. It could be that the lamp output is weak, there's excessive vibration, or the flow path is contaminated. To troubleshoot, first remove the top cover and check the lamp connection to the circuit board. Run the Lamp Test from the menu. If the photodiode voltage is less than 0.7 V, you may need to replace the lamp. If vibration is the issue, provide additional insulation, such as a foam pad. Also, clean the flow path with methanol according to the Cleaning Procedure.

What to do if my 2B Technologies 202 does not turn on?
- A
  Andrew StevensAug 19, 2025
  If your 2B Technologies Monitor isn't turning on, the issue could be with the power connection or a tripped circuit breaker. Make sure the external power connection doesn't have reverse polarity or a short. Then, give the thermal circuit breaker a few minutes to reset. If that doesn't work, remove the top cover and disconnect and reconnect the power cable to the circuit board.

Why is my 2B Technologies 202 always reading close to zero?
- B
  Brett RiveraAug 22, 2025
  If your 2B Technologies Monitor consistently reads near zero, the solenoid valve cable might not be properly connected to the circuit board. Try reattaching the solenoid valve cable to the circuit board.

What to do if the 2B Technologies 202 Monitor turns on and then powers off?
- B
  Brian SmithAug 25, 2025
  If your 2B Technologies Monitor turns on and then immediately shuts off, a burned-out air pump may be the cause. Remove the top cover and unplug the air pump. Then, turn the instrument on. If it stays running, the air pump motor is likely burned out and causing a short. In this case, you will need to replace the air pump.

Why is the analog output constant on my 2B Technologies Monitor?
- H
  Haley CarrAug 28, 2025
  A constant analog output on your 2B Technologies Monitor, or one that doesn't match the front display, may be due to a cable issue or an incorrect scaling factor. Remove the top cover and reconnect the cable between the analog output BNC and the circuit board. Also, check and reset the analog output scaling factor in the Menu.

How to fix a blank display on my 2B Technologies 202?
- J
  Jean LarsonAug 31, 2025
  If the display on your 2B Technologies Monitor is blank or showing nonsense, it could be due to a bad connection between the display and the circuit board. Remove the top cover and try reconnecting the display to the circuit board. Also, inspect the solder connections to the display.

Why is the cell temperature reading low on my 2B Technologies Monitor?
- E
  Evelyn DiazSep 3, 2025
  If the cell temperature on your 2B Technologies Monitor reads significantly low, it might be due to a loose or disconnected temperature probe cable. Remove the top cover and reattach the connector to the circuit board.

What causes calibration issues with the 2B Technologies 202 Monitor?
- E
  Elizabeth BakerSep 6, 2025
  If calibration parameters are outside the adjustable range on your 2B Technologies Monitor, several factors could be responsible: a contaminated ozone scrubber, a contaminated flow path, a solenoid valve that isn't opening and closing properly, or insufficient air pump flow. To address this, replace the ozone scrubber, ensuring you use an inlet filter. Clean the flow path with methanol. Remove the solenoid valve, rinse with methanol, dry with zero air, and replace it. Check if the air pump is drawing in air, and measure the flow rate, which should be greater than 0.7 L/min. If the flow is lower, check for leaks or replace the air pump.

What to do if the select switch on my 2B Technologies 202 Monitor doesn't work?
- A
  Andrea JohnsonSep 9, 2025
  If the select switch on your 2B Technologies Monitor isn't working, the cable connecting it to the circuit board may be loose. Remove the top cover and reconnect the select switch cable to the circuit board.

How to fix a non-functional serial port on a 2B Technologies 202?
- S
  Sandra PerezSep 12, 2025
  If the serial port on your 2B Technologies Monitor isn't working, the cable connecting the serial port to the circuit board may be loose, or you might be using the wrong serial cable. Remove the top cover and reconnect the serial port cable to the circuit board. Note that a 'straight through' serial cable is provided, but some devices need a 'cross over' cable where pins 1 and 3 are switched.
