Troubleshooting 

In case there are warnings, or errors, or when the displayed ozone concentration does not match 
the expectation you should take advantage of the possibilities of the software 

BMT 964 Link

 in 

order to locate possible sources of error. The logging capabilities of the software can also be used 
to detect randomly occuring errors. 
In case the BMT 964 has to be sent in for service or repair, you do not need an RMA, 

but please 

provide the following details
