The list of diagnostic messages is provided in the following section.
Dead pixels:
Dead pixels refer to pixels on LCD and TFT displays that are defect due to
the technology or manufacturing techniques used. The TFT display used can have up
to 10 dead pixels (Class III as per ISO 13406-2). These dead pixels do not entitle the
user to a warranty claim.
11.2 Troubleshooting
The Diagnostics menu is used for the analysis of the device functions and offers
comprehensive assistance during troubleshooting. Always proceed as follows to locate the
cause of the device errors or alarms.
General troubleshooting procedure
1. Open diagnosis list: lists the 30 most recent diagnostic messages. This can be used to
determine which errors are currently present and whether an error has repeatedly
occurred.
2. Diagnosis of current measured values: Verify the input signals by displaying the
current measured values or the scaled measuring ranges. To verify calculations, call
up calculated auxiliary variables if necessary.
3. Most errors can be rectified by performing steps 1 and 2. If the error persists follow
the troubleshooting instructions in the following sections.
4. If this does not rectify the problem, contact the Service Department. Any time you
contact the Service Department please always have the error number and the
information in the main menu under
"Diagnostics -> Device information"
(program
name, serial number etc.) to hand.
11.2.1 Device error/alarm relay
One relay can be used as an alarm relay. If the device detects a system error (e.g. hardware
defect) or a malfunction (e.g. cable open circuit), the selected output/relay switches. The
alarm relay is assigned in the main menu under
"Setup -> Advanced setup -> System ->
Fault switching -> Relay x"
.
Factory setting: Relay 1
.
This "alarm relay" switches if "F"-type or "S"-type errors occur, i.e. "M"-type or "C"-type errors
do not switch the alarm relay.
