Trouble Shooting Guide 

The Mini Rad-V In-Cab Display module emits various signals under certain conditions during bootup and 
calibration,  during  radiation  alarms,  and  when  the  system  is  experiencing  a type  of  failure.  The  trouble 
shooting table below describes various sequence, conditions and suggestions for each situation. 

Table 1: Trouble Shooting Table 

Sequence 

Condition 

Suggestion 

At  power  on,  the  blue  light 
flashes 

for 

30 

seconds, 

followed  by  an  audible  beep 
and simultaneous  flash of  the 
red light. 

This is the expected sequence 
at 

initial 

boot 

up 

and 

calibration. 

N/A 

 

While on, the blue light starts 
flashing  for  30  seconds, 
followed  by  an  audible  peep 
and simultaneous  flash of  the 
red light. 

This  is  a  normal  sequence.  
When the device senses lower 
background radiation levels, it 
will recalibrate. 

N/A  

While the blue light is on, the 
red  light  begins  to  flash,  and 
the audio begins to beep. 

This is  the  expected  behavior 
when  detecting  the  presence 
of gamma and x-ray radiation. 

Radiation  is  detected.    Use  a  Mini 
Rad-D  to  localize  the  source,  then 
use a Rad-ID to identify the type of 
radiation present. 

If it is confirmed a radiation source 
is not near, and the device continues 
to  alarm,  then  contact  customer 
service.  

Constantly  repeating  flashing 
blue  light  and  audible  beep 
every 30 seconds. 

Device  is  stuck  in  boot  up 
mode. 

Power  cycle  (turn  off/on)  to  see  if 
device  self-corrects.  If  it  does  not 
power up properly, contact customer 
service. 

Solid  blue  light  and  flashing 
red  light  and  audible  beep 
every 5 seconds. 

 

Detector  failure  or  electrical 
failure. 

Contact customer service. 

Slowly  flashing  blue  light  and 
quick, double beep every 5 to 
6 seconds. 

 

Detector  failure  or  electrical 
failure. 

Contact customer service. 

No blue light and no red light.  
Constant audio beep. 

Detector  failure  or  electrical 
failure. 

Contact customer service. 

No lights turn on when power 
is on. 

Electrical failure. 

Contact customer service.
