Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
Detector does not display normal gas reading after startup sequence | Sensor not stabilized | Used sensor: wait 60 seconds. New sensor: wait 5 minutes. |
Sensor requires calibration | Calibrate the detector. | |
Target gas is present | Detector is operating properly. Use caution in suspect areas. | |
Detector does not respond to button | Battery is in critical low battery state or is completely depleted | Replace the battery. |
Detector is performing operations that do not require user input | Button operation restores automatically when the operation ends. | |
Detector does not accurately measure gas | Sensor requires calibration | Calibrate the detector. |
Detector is colder/hotter than gas temperature | Allow the detector to acquire ambient temperature before use | |
Sensor filter is blocked | Clean the sensor filter | |
Detector does not enter alarm | Alarm setpoint(s) are set incorrectly | Reset the alarm setpoints. |
Alarm setpoint(s) set to zero | Reset the alarm setpoints. | |
Detector is in calibration mode | Complete calibration | |
Detector intermittently enters alarm without reason | Ambient gas levels are near alarm setpoint or the sensor is exposed to a puff of hazardous gas | Detector is operating normally. Use caution in suspect areas. Check MAX gas exposure reading. |
Alarm setpoints are set incorrectly | Reset the alarm setpoints | |
Detector requires calibration | Calibrate the detector. | |
Missing or faulty sensor | Change the sensor. | |
Features and options are not operating as expected | Changes in Fleet Manager II | Verify the setup in Fleet Manager II. |
Battery has been charging for 6 hours. Charging indicator on LCD shows the battery is still charging | Battery is trickle charging | Verify the charger is properly connected to the AC outlet. |
Battery indicator does not display when charging | Battery is depleted below normal levels | Replace the battery. |
Battery does not charge | Replace the battery. | |
Sensor fails to zero during startup self-test | Change the sensor. | |
The detector does not activate. | Depleted battery. | Replace the battery. |
Damaged detector. | Contact JJS Technical Services | |
Detector automatically deactivates. | Automatic deactivation due to critical low battery. | Replace the battery. |
Lockout on Self-Test Error is enabled and a sensor(s) has failed the startup self-test. | Change the sensor. | |
Sensor(s) require calibration. | Calibrate the detector. |
