The following contains a procedure for checking the instrument in case it appears that it does not function as it should.
Trouble shooting:
Output signal fails or shows improbable results;
- Check the wires are properly connected to the readout equipment.
- Check the window, it should be clean, use the supplied cleaning cloth to remove dirt, dust or water.
- Check the last calibration date to see if re-calibration, or desiccant replacement is required.
Re-calibration is advised every 2 years.
The desiccant in the SGR lasts for 10 years and is replaced during re-calibration.
- Check levelling (bubble inside ring).
If water or ice is deposited on the window, clean it. Probably water droplets will evaporate in less than one hour under sunlight.
Any visible damage or malfunction should be reported to your distributor, who will suggest appropriate action.
