The following is a summary of information received from the licensee via phone and email:
The manufacturer (Thermo EGS Gauging) was on-site and inspected the unit. They identified that the magnetic coil position holding the shutter flag when it de-energized needed to be adjusted. Adjustments to its position were made, and the shutter is now working as designed.
