How to troubleshoot a pump not making sound in Inficon Security Sensors?
If the pump in your Inficon Security Sensors is not making a sound, the pump may have failed. If the battery has a proper charge, contact INFICON.
Why is the power indicator quickly flashing red on my Inficon D-TEK 3?
If the power indicator on your Inficon Security Sensors is quickly flashing red, it could indicate a battery error. This might be due to a failed battery, improper installation, or a poor connection. Try removing and reinstalling the battery. If the issue persists, replace the battery. Alternatively, the battery might be outside the ideal temperature range for charging. Allow the battery to return to normal temperature.
