XRF-2000 Series Operating Manual
70
A further aid is to define the problem nature by the following criteria:
1. Is the problem always the same?
2. Does the problem appear at regular intervals or random intervals?
The correct answers to many of the questions suggested above may not be an
easy task, although the solution to many may be very simple.
The XRF-2000 constantly monitor the major signals and component operations
in the system. Many problems, usually hardware and operation-related are
No System Response
When the system has no response massage,
1. The USB communication cable on the computer side is not connected
or the connector is bad.
2. Turn off the system and turn it on after 5 second.
3. Check Power on Lamp on the main switch. If power on lamp is not
illuminate, check the main fuse on rear side of system.
Peaks Not in the Correct Position
The proper way to verify energy calibration is to perform system adjustment as
described in Chapter 4.16. Common reasons for peak shifts are:
- Cabinet heat-up due to dust in the filter or faulty fans.
- Big environment temperature change
No X-rays
X-rays generation is off in the following reasons:
- Sample chamber cover open, or not fully closed.
- Acquisition is completed.
X-ray Tube Related Problems
High Voltage breakdowns are identified by sudden changes in the HV and
tube current readings on monitoring in the software.
X-ray Tube Oil
Routinely check for oil leakage from the x-ray tube housing and inside chamber.
If a leak is noted, discontinue operation immediately and contact your service
engineer.
Warning:
The insulating oil is processed in the factory to attain high dielectric
strength. Please consult with the service agent before attempting to
add or replace the oil.
