room door while you are doing your run. Please note that you have done this on
the sheet in the room so that you are not double charged for your time.
12. All users who sign up to use the X-ray on the online calendar have first priority
and can ask a user to remove their sample if someone is in the room who has not
signed up. Please be courteous and allow a user to finish, most runs are short and
a few minutes won’t hurt you. Do note this on the sign-up sheet though, again I
don’t want to over-charge if you have to wait.
Faults & Possible Causes
If during normal operation of the machine a fault condition is detected an ALARM
SCREEN will be displayed. Table 3 in the operating manual lists possible faults and
the corrective actions for the RS-2000. Most of the time you will just need to hit
clear and continue on. If that doesn’t work, turn off the machine, wait 20 seconds
and turn it back on. If neither of those options work, you will need to contact Deb
at
.
Keep in mind that some of the faults do not retain your time, so if you choose to
leave the room and something happens your sample could be compromised.
If you hit “stop” during a run, your time is lost and the machine will go back to the
AUTO page. Make sure to note your time prior to hitting stop.
If you open the door during a run, your time is preserved and you can choose to
initiate (Restart) your run or cancel it.
