TROUBLESHOOTING AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT

Verify Functionality

Pressing the power button should activate the LCD and provide a real-time UV measurement. Direct the sensor head toward

the sun and verify the UV reading responds. Blocking all radiation from the sensor should force the UV reading to zero.

Battery Life

When the meter is maintained properly the coin cell battery (CR2320) should last for many months, even after continuous

use. The low battery indicator will appear in the upper left hand corner of the LCD display when the battery voltage drops

below 2.8 V DC. The meter will still function correctly for some time, but once the battery is drained the pushbuttons will no

longer respond and any logged measurements will be lost.

Pressing the power button to turn off the meter will actually put it in sleep mode, where there is still a slight amount of

current draw. This is necessary to maintain the logged measurements in memory. Therefore, it is recommended to remove

the battery when storing the meter for many months at a time, in order to preserve battery life.

Low-Battery Error after Battery Replacement

A master reset will usually correct this error, please see the master reset section for details and cautions. If a master reset does

not remove the low battery indicator, please double check that the voltage of your new batter is above 2.8 V, this is the

threshold for the indicator to turn on.

Master Reset

If a meter ever becomes non-responsive or experiences anomalies, such as a low battery indicator even after replacing the

old battery, a master reset can be performed that may correct the problem. Note that a master reset will erase all logged

measurements from memory.

First press the power button so that the LCD display is activated. While still powered, slide the battery out of the holder,

which will cause the LCD display to fade out. After a few seconds, slide the battery back into the holder. The LCD display will

flash all segments and then show a revision number (e.g. "R1.0"). This indicates the master reset was performed and the

display should return to normal.

Error Codes and Fixes

Error codes will appear in place of the real-time reading on the LCD display and will continue to flash until the problem is

corrected. Contact Apogee if the following fixes do not rectify the problem.

Err 1: battery voltage out of range. Fix: replace CR2320 battery and perform master reset.

Err 2: sensor voltage out of range. Fix: perform master reset.

Err 3: not calibrated. Fix: perform master reset.

Err 4: CPU voltage below minimum. Fix: replace CR2320 battery and perform master reset.

Modifying Cable Length

Although it is possible to splice additional cable to the separate sensor of the MU-200, note that the cable wires are soldered

directly into the circuit board of the meter. Care should be taken to remove the back panel of the meter in order to access the

board and splice on the additional cable, otherwise two splices would need to be made between the meter and sensor head.

See Apogee webpage for further details on how to extend sensor cable length:
