    What to do if the Endress+Hauser Gammapilot FMG50 Measuring Instruments device cannot be operated via SmartBlue?
    • C
      Cassandra BrownAug 23, 2025
      If the device cannot be operated via SmartBlue, ensure that you are entering the correct password. If the password has been forgotten, contact Endress+Hauser Service. In case the sensor temperature is too high (over 60 °C or 140 °F) due to ambient temperature, Bluetooth communication may be disabled. Shield the device, isolate it, and cool it down if necessary.

    What to do if pulse rate is too low with empty vessel for Endress+Hauser Gammapilot FMG50?
    • M
      Michael WintersAug 27, 2025
      If the pulse rate is too low with an empty vessel, the radiation source might be switched off; switch it on at the source container. The source housing might be incorrectly aligned; realign the angle of emission. Buildup in the vessel could be the cause; clean the vessel or recalibrate if the buildup is stable. Also, fittings or pressure in the vessel might not have been considered in the activity calculation; recalculate activity and change the radiation source if required. Check if there is no radiation source in the source container; load radiation source. The radiation source may be too weak; use a source with higher activity. If a modulator is used, make sure it is mounted correctly. If a collimator is used, ensure correct alignment of the radiation entry window.

    Why is pulse rate too high with empty vessel for Endress+Hauser Measuring Instruments?
    • D
      Derek RussellAug 28, 2025
      If the pulse rate is too high with an empty vessel, the activity might be too high. Attenuate radiation, for example, by mounting a steel plate in front of the source container, or replace the radiation source. External radiation sources might be present; shield off if possible and repeat calibration without the external radiation source.
