Why does the LED bar graph stay lit during operation on Restek Security Sensors?
If the LED bar graph on your Restek Security Sensors stays lit during operation, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the detector might have been re-zeroed before the unit was fully purged. To fix this, allow adequate time for the detector to purge, then re-zero it. Another possibility is that the reference gas inlet is covered by your hand or another object. Make sure to remove any obstructions from the inlet.
How to troubleshoot decreased sensitivity in Restek Security Sensors?
A decrease in sensitivity in Restek Security Sensors may be due to a clogged probe. Clean the probe tip to remove any debris. Alternatively, the probe line may be punctured; visually inspect it for holes. Also, a weak battery could be the cause; recharge the unit, or return it to Restek for battery replacement.

Depress and hold the power button until the unit responds with the wake-up mode. The leak detector will run through a self-calibration sequence.
After LED lights stop flashing, the unit may need to be zeroed. Remove probe from storage before zeroing.
Verify operation by sampling gas from a GC split vent. Inspect probe tip, reference gas inlet, and exhaust port for obstructions.
Move probe tip around fittings. LED bar graph and alarm indicate leaks. Red LEDs for He/H2, Yellow for N2/Ar/CO2.
Avoid spilling liquids. Clean probe tip periodically to prevent dust and debris from clogging the tubing.
Measurement based on thermal conductivity comparisons. Dual thermistor technology measures ratio of [probe]:[reference] heat exchange values.
LED light response correlates to leak size. Red LEDs indicate Helium/Hydrogen, Yellow LEDs indicate Nitrogen/Argon/Carbon Dioxide.
