may notice a decreased
response.

UV lamp is failing.

Install a new UV lamp. See
page 77.

High concentrations of
non-ionizable compounds.

Chemical compounds with an
ionization potential higher than
10.6 eV or 11.7 eV scatter and
absorb UV light. Sensitivity
may be decreased. Contact
INFICON for more information.

Erroneous high
readings

Sampling environment is
very humid.

Water vapor may contain
mineral salts which carry a
charge. The water vapor
becomes an electrolytic
solution which becomes
ionized when it enters the
detector.

The 2020ppbPRO is not
properly calibrated.

Ensure that the calibration gas
is the correct concentration
and calibrate the 2020ppbPRO
as described on page 59.
