ALARM SCREEN will be displayed, hit clear or turn off the 
machine and let sit for 20 seconds, then turn back on).  

4. If you have a long run or will be in the room for an 

extended amount of time, you will want to prop the room 
door open.  The irradiator tends to heat the room up and 
that over-heating can cause the unit to shut down.  I also 

have an electric fan in the room that you can set up to bring 
cooler air from the hall into the room.

 

5. Main Menu 

 

The main menu enables the operator to access all the 
features of the RS- 2000. The white rectangular system status 

box is used to display the machine 
status. Possible machine statuses 
include:
