Troubleshooting

NOTE:

This troubleshooting guide describes SDM-2012 problems only. See
the GX-2012 Operator’s Manual or Gas Tracer Operator’s Manual for
problems you may encounter with the GX-2012 or Gas Tracer.

Table 3: Troubleshooting the SDM-2012

Symptoms

Probable Causes

Recommended Action

• Fresh air

adjustment fails

• The SDM-2012 is not in a

fresh air environment or
the cylinder being used is
not a zero air cylinder.

• If a zero air cylinder is

used, the calibration
cylinder is out of gas.

• If a zero air cylinder is

used, the gas out to
instrument line is not
connected to the inlet of
the instrument.

1. Confirm that the SDM-2012 is in

a fresh air environment or that a
zero air cylinder is attached to
the AIR fitting.

2. If a zero air cylinder is used,

verify that it contains an
adequate supply of test sample.

3. Check to make sure the gas out

to instrument line is connected to
the inlet of the instrument.

4. If a zero air cylinder is used,

check all calibration tubing for
leaks or for any bad connections.

5. If the fail condition continues,

replace the sensor(s) in the
instrument.

6. If the difficulties continue, contact

RKI Instruments, Inc. for further
instruction.

• Calibration fails

• The auto calibration

values do not match the
cylinder gas
concentrations.

• The calibration cylinder is

out of gas or is outdated.

• The calibration cylinder is

not connected to the
appropriate GAS 1 or
GAS 2 fitting.

• The gas out to instrument

line is not connected to
the inlet of the instrument.

• The tubing from the

regulator to the GAS 1 or
GAS 2 fitting or manifold
is not connected.

1. Confirm that the auto calibration

values match the concentrations
listed on the gas cylinder.

2. Verify that the calibration cylinder

contains an adequate supply of
fresh test sample.

3. Verify that the calibration cylinder

is connected to the appropriate
GAS 1 or GAS 2 fitting.

4. Check to make sure the gas out

to instrument line is connected to
the inlet of the instrument.

5. Check all calibration tubing for

leaks or for any bad connections.

6. If the fail condition continues,

replace the sensor(s) in the
instrument.

7. If the difficulties continue, contact

RKI Instruments, Inc. for further
instruction.
