Empty count rate lower than
zero count rate.
Determine empty count rate or /

Time constant is higher than the
maximum time constant in code
14
Check calibration data or
increase code 14.
Distance switch
point to FCR
Distance switch point to full
count rate is too small. Danger
of switching errors.
Adjust switch point, or increase
time constant.
Distance switch
point to ECR
Distance switch point to full
count rate is too small. Danger
of switching errors.
Adjust switch point, or increase
time constant.
Increase time constant or reduce
hysteresis.
Increase time constant or set switch
point further into the center.
Time constant exceeds the
maximum value of 999s.
Check the calibration and the
parameter settings.
The source activity is so low that
the source has to be replaced
within the next 12 months. The
error has been triggered by code
14 or code 55.
Check year for source replacement
in code 55!
Check time constant in code 12
and 14!
Check calibration values in code 20,
21!
If necessary, replace source.
Safe switching
function not
ensured
Switch point does not have the
required distance to empty or
full calibration
or time constant is too low.
Check calibration. Adjust switch
point setting or/and time constant.

ECR = empty count rate
ZCR = zero count rate
FCR = full count rate
Checked only in case of a
calibration in code 36.
