    What to do if RKI Instruments GX-2003 Measuring Instruments indicates flow failure?
    • T
      Teresa JeffersonAug 1, 2025
      If your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments unit shows a flow failure that doesn't recover after pressing RESET SILENCE, several issues could be the cause: * The cotton filter in the probe or filter holder might be dirty and clogged. Try changing the cotton filter. * The sample hose may have a kink or obstruction. Inspect the sample hose and replace it if necessary. * The hydrophobic filter disks or wire mesh disk might be dirty and clogged. Inspect and replace them if needed. If the problem persists, it could be a pump malfunction.

    Why does auto calibration fail on RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments?
    • J
      Jennifer RobersonAug 16, 2025
      If your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments fails auto calibration or you're unable to set the response readings during single calibration, consider these potential causes: * The auto calibration values might not match the cylinder gas concentrations. Check all calibration tubing for leaks or bad connections. * The CO filter could be saturated. Replace the CO filter. * The sample gas might not be reaching the sensor due to a bad connection. Ensure the unit has been properly set up for calibration. * The calibration cylinder may be out of gas or outdated. Verify that the calibration cylinder contains an adequate supply of fresh test sample. * The sensor for the affected channel(s) may need replacement. If the fail condition continues, replace the sensor(s).
