2. The error code meanings are shown below:

3. If the error code is anything but 031 as shown above, the

instrument cannot be used. Contact RKI Instruments, Inc. as soon
as possible.

If the error code is 031, you may press and release the RESET
SILENCE button to continue to normal operation if the instrument
must be used temporarily.

Responding to Microprocessor Failure

If your unit experiences a microprocessor failure, the heart symbol at
the top of the screen will be steadily on or steadily off. The unit cannot
be used in this case. Contact RKI Instruments, Inc. as soon as possible.

Leak Testing

The increment of the reading is always 10 ppm but the display range
can be adjusted by using the DISPLAY (ADJ) button. The display
range choices are 1000 ppm, 2000 ppm, 4000 ppm, and 9990 ppm. The
readings are displayed in both numerical and bar graph form. As the
gas concentration increases from 0 ppm, the alarm LEDs begin to
blink in unison with the buzzer’s pulsing. The blinking/pulsing rate
increases as the gas reading increases. If desired the buzzer can be
turned off in Leak Check Mode.

In a low-light environment, press and release any of the buttons to
turn on the display backlight. See “Updating the LCD Back Light
Time Setting” on page 77 to program backlight duration. If BEEP. SET
is turned on in Maintenance Mode, the Gas Tracer beeps once every 5
minutes to confirm that it’s operating.
