If your Troxler Measuring Instruments gauge won't communicate with the printer or computer, first verify that you're using the correct cable. Also, make sure that the baud rates for both the gauge and the printer/computer are set to the same value, specifically 9600 baud.
What to do if Troxler 3440 Plus gauge readings appear erratic?
If the readings on your Troxler Measuring Instruments gauge appear erratic, start by checking the inside of the gauge for any signs of moisture. If moisture is present, remove the keypad to dry the gauge interior. Also, a dirty tungsten sliding block can cause erratic density readings, so be sure to clean it.
Why does my Troxler 3440 Plus Measuring Instruments gauge turn off after it is turned on?
Your Troxler Measuring Instruments gauge may be turning off shortly after being turned on because it's wet. If you suspect this, dry the gauge interior using a hair dryer on low heat for 3 hours. Alternatively, the alkaline batteries may need to be replaced.
What to do if Troxler 3440 Plus Measuring Instruments gauge fails standard counts?
If your Troxler Measuring Instruments gauge fails standard counts, ensure the source rod opening on the bottom of the gauge is completely closed or covered by the tungsten sliding block. If it still fails, perform the standard count again. If the standard count continues to fail, contact the nearest Troxler Service Center.
Why Troxler 3440 Plus Measuring Instruments shows satisfactory counts but results are in error?
If your Troxler Measuring Instruments gauge shows satisfactory counts but the results are in error, first ensure that the measurement depth displayed by the gauge corresponds to the actual source rod depth. Also, check that the calibration constants are valid.
What to do if Troxler 3440 Plus Measuring Instruments software locks up?
If the software on your Troxler Measuring Instruments locks up, try turning the gauge off and then on again. If the issue persists, the scaler (control unit) may be defective. To test this, replace the suspect scaler with a known good one.
What to do if Troxler Measuring Instruments displays garbage or XXXXXX?
If your Troxler Measuring Instruments gauge displays garbage or 'XXXXXX', it might indicate that a value exceeds the display area, in which case the gauge will display ++++. Check the standard counts in memory. Also, check the gauge for water damage. If the gauge is wet, dry the gauge interior with hair dryer (on low heat) for 3 hours.
Why does my Troxler 3440 Plus Measuring Instruments have short battery life after recharging?
A short battery life after recharging your Troxler Measuring Instruments gauge might be due to the charger/adapter not supplying a full charge. Check the AC outlet and the DC output (12 V dc) using a voltmeter on the proper setting.
