What to do if RKI Instruments Monitor has frequent alarms?
If your RKI Instruments Monitor is experiencing frequent or suspect alarms: * Verify that the detector head wiring is properly shielded, as the device might be experiencing false readings due to RFI or EMI. * Ensure that the detector head wiring is correctly connected and secure, as a disconnection, misconnection, or intermittent connection could be the cause.
Why is the display flickering on my RKI Instruments Beacon 200 Monitor?
A flickering display on your RKI Instruments Monitor could be due to several reasons: * The Beacon 200 might be experiencing false readings due to RFI or EMI. Verify that the detector head wiring is properly shielded. * The noise filter setting may be too low. Increase the noise filter setting in the Channel Control & Setup Program. * The zero suppression setting may be too low. Increase the zero suppression setting in the Channel Control & Setup Program.
