The WAGER Model 6500 Smoke Meter has been designed to be nearly trouble free for many years of
use.
However, some components are subject to unintentional abuse, which is not covered in our warranty.
Sensor Head
Always carry the sensor head assembly by the metal “yoke”. Dangling the sensor head assembly from
the cable causes extreme stress and could lead to premature failure.
Battery
The re-chargeable lead-acid battery can withstand many charges/discharges. They gradually lose their
ability to hold a charge. Replace the battery when the shortened intervals interfere with your normal
operation of the unit.
Power Failure
If the control unit will not power on, check to see if the battery is fully charged. If yes, check the fuse.
Error Messages
CABLE FAILURE DISCONNECTED? The light source is fully powered, but no light is detected receiver.
This could be caused by several factors:
•The sensor head assembly cable is not connected to the control unit
•The light source in the sensor head assembly has failed.
•The connecting cable is malfunctioning.
Action:
Check to make sure that the cable is firmly attached to the unit. If another unit’s sensor head assembly
and cable is available, try to see if this corrects the error.
If the message disappears, then you need to send in the sensor head assembly and/or cable for
repair.Contact WAGER Technical Services for further instructions and/or return of the unit for
repair.
