Hello, I recently purchased a brand new GMC-300E Plus V4. I noticed that once in a while the display will briefly turn off and back on. No data changes on the screen when this happens, and the unit continues to function normally. I timed how often this occurs, and it happens almost exactly every 10 minutes and 6 seconds (606 seconds) from boot up. Is this a normal occurence, or is my device somehow defective? If this is a normal occurence, why does it happen? My firmware version is 4.50.
Thanks for your help! 
PS - I turned off data logging because I suspected this was the device clearing memory periodically. It did not resolve the issue. The display still turns off and on at the exact same interval. |

I've been wondering the same thing. My GMC-600+ does exactly same screen refresh/re-sync cycle every 10 minutes. Nice to know it is not a malfunction.

Hi burner748, that is normal in GMC300 Plus V4. It is there to refresh/re-sync the LCD screen. It doesn't turn off/on the device, it just flashes the screen.
Thank you very much for the answer and explanation. One more question. Does this screen refresh / re-sync occur in any other GMC model geiger counters? I'm wondering just in case anyone with a different model has the same question in the future, they may be able to search the forum and find this post. |
