Important Information
Run the confidence test every time you power up the APD 2000®. The APD 2000® should be run at least once every month. A fully operational APD 2000® may fail a confidence test if it has not been used for some time. If this occurs and you are sure the confidence sample is not defective, let the APD 2000® run for approximately 20 minutes and repeat the test. If the unit still fails the test, let it run for an additional 20 minutes. Repeat the confidence test once more (a total of three attempts). If the unit still fails the test, return it to the manufacturer. 9/17/2018 ©COPYRIGHT Smiths Detection Inc 31
