Troubleshooting and Maintenance
3.1 Troubleshooting
If the RSH-600 fails to function, or appears to have diminished performance, the 
following Symptom/Cause/Remedy charts may be helpful.
WARNING
There are no user serviceable components within the 
RSH-600 sensor. 
Refer all maintenance to qualified INFICON personnel.
A useful tool for diagnosing sensor head problems is the DMM (Digital Multi-Meter). 
Disconnect the short oscillator cable from the feedthrough and measure the 
resistance from the center pin to ground. If the reading is less than 10 megohms 
the source of the leakage should be found and corrected.
