    What to do if the LCD is blank on my RKI Instruments Monitor?
    • B
      Bruce SaundersAug 5, 2025
      If the LCD screen is blank on your RKI Instruments Monitor, there are a few potential causes. First, ensure the unit is turned on by pressing and briefly holding the POWER/ENTER button. If it still doesn't turn on, the alkaline batteries may need replacement, or the Li-ion battery pack may need recharging. Replace the alkaline batteries or recharge the Li-ion battery pack.

    Why does my RKI Instruments Monitor indicate flow failure?
    • C
      Catherine AllenAug 10, 2025
      If your RKI Instruments Monitor indicates flow failure and doesn't recover when RESET is pressed, several factors could be responsible. Check the probe tube for obstructions, inspect the hydrophobic filter disk in the probe and replace it if dirty, and examine the sample hose for kinks or obstructions, replacing it if necessary. You can also attempt to set the low flow setpoint.

    What to do if auto calibration fails on RKI Instruments Monitor?
    • J
      Jessica BarrAug 16, 2025
      If auto calibration or single calibration fails on your RKI Instruments Monitor, start by checking all calibration tubing for leaks or bad connections. Ensure the Monitor has been properly set up for calibration and verify that the calibration cylinder contains an adequate supply of fresh test sample. Additionally, the PID sensor’s lamp may need to be cleaned or the electrode stack may need to be replaced. If the fail condition continues, replace the sensor.

    Why does my RKI Instruments Monitor show abnormally high readings?
    • V
      Vickie BrowningAug 22, 2025
      If the LCD on your RKI Instruments Monitor shows an abnormally high or low reading, but other gas detection instruments do not, the unit may need to be recalibrated. If the issue persists after recalibration, the sensor may need replacement. Calibrate again after sensor replacement.

    What to do if RKI Instruments Monitor doesn't alarm when the inlet is plugged?
    • J
      Jodi ShafferAug 28, 2025
      If the RKI Instruments Monitor does not go into low flow alarm when the inlet is plugged, the sensor gasket may not be seated properly. Turn the instrument off and remove the flow chamber. Ensure that the sensor gasket’s flow fitting connections are facing up and that the gasket is secured under the gasket aligning tabs.
