If your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments displays a low battery voltage alarm ('FAIL BATTERY'), it means the battery level is low. For a Li-ion battery unit, turn off the power and recharge it in a non-hazardous area. If you have a dry battery unit, turn off the power and replace the dry batteries with new ones in a non-hazardous area.
What to do if RKI Instruments GX-8000 displays 'FAIL LOW FLOW'?
If your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments displays a low flow rate alarm ('FAIL LOW FLOW'), possible causes include: * Water or oil drawn in: Check the gas sampling hose for damage or signs of water or oil. * Clogged gas sampling hose: Inspect the hose for connections, clogging, or twisting. If these steps don't resolve the issue, the pump may have deteriorated, and you should contact RKI to replace the pump.
Why does the reading on my RKI Instruments GX-8000 Measuring Instruments rise or drop and stay there?
A persistent rise or drop in the reading on your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments can be due to several factors: drifting of sensor output, presence of interference gas, a slow leak, or environmental changes. To address this, first perform the zero adjustment (fresh air adjustment). Keep in mind that disturbances by interference gases, such as solvents, cannot be eliminated completely. A very small amount of the gas to be detected may be leaking (slow leak). Because ignoring it may cause dangers, take a remedial measure, i.e., taking actions the same as those for the gas alarm. In particular, the galvanic cell type is affected by the air pressure.
Why does my RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments trigger a gas alarm with no leak?
If your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments triggers a gas alarm when there is no gas leak or other apparent issues, it could be due to the presence of interference gas or disturbance by noise. Note that disturbances by interference gases, such as solvents, cannot be eliminated completely. Turn off and restart the gas monitor. If such a symptom is observed frequently, take appropriate measures to eliminate the noise.
Why is my RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments responding slowly?
A slow response from your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments can stem from a clogged dust filter (replace the dust filter), a bent or clogged suction or exhaust tube (fix the defective parts), condensation inside the suction tube (fix the defective parts), or deteriorated sensor sensitivity (replace the sensor unit with a new one).
Why can't I recharge the batteries on my RKI Instruments GX-8000?
If you're unable to recharge the batteries on your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments (Li-ion battery unit only), first, check that the charger is properly connected to both the wall outlet and the device. If the connections are secure and the batteries have not been fully charged, contact RKI for repair.
Why is span adjustment impossible on RKI Instruments GX-8000 Measuring Instruments?
If span adjustment is impossible on your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments, it could be due to an improper calibration gas concentration (use the proper calibration gas) or deteriorated sensor sensitivity (replace the sensor unit with a new one).
What to do if RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments displays 'FAIL AIR CAL'?
If your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments displays 'FAIL AIR CAL', it means fresh air is not supplied around the gas monitor. Supply fresh air.
What to do if RKI Instruments GX-8000 has abnormal operations?
If your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments is showing abnormal operations, it may be due to disturbances by sudden surge noise, etc. Turn off and restart the gas monitor.
What to do if key operations are disabled on RKI Instruments GX-8000?
If key operations are disabled on your RKI Instruments Measuring Instruments, it might be due to disturbances by sudden surge noise. In a non-hazardous area, remove the battery unit once, reinstall it, and turn on the power to perform operations.
