What does F-008 Over Pressure mean on Keeler Laboratory Equipment?
- J
  James HoustonSep 4, 2025
  If your Keeler Laboratory Equipment shows an 'F-008 Over Pressure' error, it indicates that the cylinder pressure is too high. Contact your distributor or the manufacturer for assistance. Check that the cylinder pressure does not exceed the recommended maximum of 83 bar. Keeler recommends fitting a pressure regulator if the cylinder pressure cannot be maintained below the maximum.

Why won't my Keeler Medical Equipment probe coupling connect?
- E
  Eric SpenceSep 16, 2025
  If the Keeler Medical Equipment probe coupling will not connect correctly, the probe may still be too hot after sterilisation, causing expansion of some coupling components. Allow the probe to cool to room temperature before trying to connect it.

  Mr. Travis Barry MDSep 13, 2025
  If the front panel of your Keeler Medical Equipment is blank and the equipment appears dead, it is possible that the mains fuse has blown. Disconnect the equipment from the mains supply and replace the blown fuses with fuses of the correct rating.

How to troubleshoot poor freezing performance of Keeler Medical Equipment reusable probe?
- J
  Joanna SanchezSep 12, 2025
  If the Keeler Medical Equipment reusable probe freezes but its performance is poor, it might be due to a partial blockage, possibly caused by excess moisture after sterilisation. Ensure that correct sterilisation procedures are followed, including a drying cycle. Disconnect and reconnect the probe to force another purging cycle. If this doesn't work, allow the probe to dry completely before use. Check the front panel for any associated fault codes.

Why is my Keeler Medical Equipment probe not freezing?
- A
  Amber HamiltonSep 9, 2025
  If your Keeler Medical Equipment probe does not freeze at all, it could be due to an insufficient gas supply or improperly opened cylinder valves; the cylinder symbol on the front panel will flash empty in this case. Replace the empty gas cylinder with a full one and ensure the cylinder valve is opened correctly. Also, check if the footswitch has become disconnected and reconnect it to the console.

What to do if Keeler Medical Equipment probe freezes then stops?
- E
  Erika GibsonSep 7, 2025
  If the Keeler Medical Equipment probe freezes initially but then performance is reduced or it stops freezing, the probe might be blocked. Try releasing the footswitch to allow the console to back-flush the probe before attempting another freeze. Also, check if the gas supply has run out by looking at the cylinder symbol on the front panel and replace the gas cylinder if needed, ensuring the cylinder valve is opened correctly. Finally, inspect the exhaust hose for any blockages or occlusions and replace it if necessary.

What does F-04 Probe Blocked mean on Keeler Laboratory Equipment?
- D
  David MoralesSep 6, 2025
  If your Keeler Laboratory Equipment displays the error 'F-04 Probe Blocked', it indicates a partial or complete blockage in the probe. Try re-purging the probe or use an alternative probe. If the issue persists, contact your distributor or the manufacturer for assistance.

What to do if Keeler Laboratory Equipment probe freezes initially but then stops freezing?

  William BrownAug 21, 2025
  If the Keeler Laboratory Equipment probe freezes initially but then the performance decreases or the probe stops freezing, this could be due to a blocked probe. To resolve this, release the footswitch and allow the console to back-flush the probe before attempting another freeze. Another possible cause is that the gas supply has run out. Check the cylinder symbol on the front panel and replace the gas cylinder if needed, ensuring the cylinder valve is opened correctly. If the issue persists, contact your supplier for repair. Also, the exhaust hose might be blocked or occluded; check the exhaust hose for blockages and replace it if necessary.
