Instruction 3015-4286

Viewing the Fault Log 

From the 

Data Display

 screen, use the 

Keypad

 buttons to place the arrow (>) on the display next to the 

FAULTS

 function. Then press 

ENTER

 to display the fault log. 

The fault log shows the monitor’s current fault status. If the fault is still present 
when the 

FAULTS

 function is selected, then the current cause of the fault is 

displayed along with the date and time it occurred. If the cause of the fault has 
been cleared, then the fault log will show <0000> along with the date and time 
the fault was cleared. Use the 

keypad

 buttons to scroll through the fault log. In 

the examples shown to the left, record #03 shows that a Zone Flow Fault (fault 
code <0800>) occurred on 11/12/03 at 08:17, while record #04 shows that the 
fault was cleared on 11/12/03 at 8:30.  

The cause of the fault is identified by a numeric fault code.  To convert the fault 
code into a text description of the fault, first press the 

ENTER

 button and then 

use the 

Keypad

 buttons to scroll through the display until the text description of 

the fault appears. If the fault code is a combination of two or more faults, then 
continue to use the 

Keypad

 buttons until all fault text descriptions have been 

displayed. For example, the fault code <1800> represents the combination of 
both a Zone Flow <0800> and a Purge Flow <1000> fault as shown to the left. 

Note that the Fault Log can be cleared as described in Section 

Clearing the Stored PPM Log, Alarm & Fault 

Data

 (Page 20). 

Fault Codes 

FAULT CODES ARE ADDITIVE

.  For example: A 

fault code of <1800> indicates that both a Purge Flow 
Fault <1000> and a Zone Flow Fault <0800> have 
occurred

<0001> Box Temperature Fault:

 Enclosure 

temperature is outside normal range (or IR detector 
has failed). Check that the monitor is not being 
subjected to extreme temperatures. Verify that the 
ventilation holes are not obstructed. Use the 

DIAGNOS 

function (Page 21) to check the Box 

Temperature.

 

<0002> Bench Temperature Fault:

 Optical bench is 

outside normal operating range (or IR detector has 
failed). Check that the monitor is not being subjected 
to extreme temperatures.  

<0004> - Manifold Pressure Fault:

 The manifold 

pressure is outside normal operating range (or IR 
detector has failed). Enter the 

DIAGNOS 

function 

(Page 21) and record ALL data. Call the factory with 
this information for further instructions. 

<0010> Loop Fault:

 The 4–20 mA current loop is open, 

or there is a high resistance in the circuit. Check the 
wiring to the load/monitoring circuit. If this feature is not 
being used, a 100 ohm resistor must be connected to 
the 4–20 mA connector (Page 11). 

<0100> Zero Filter Fault: 

There is refrigerant gas 

present in the purge air. Locate the monitor in an area 
containing fresh air, or install a purge air line. Refer to 

Location of the

 Monitor (Page 5). 

<0200> Gain Set Fault:

 The digipot autotune 

sequence has failed. This fault will only occur on first 
boot up or after a firmware upgrade. Call the factory 
for further instructions. 

<0400> A/D Fault:

 A fault has occurred in the 

analog-to-digital circuitry. Contact the factory with this 
information for further instructions. 

<0800> Zone Flow Fault:

 Check for: A kink in the 

gas-sample line or exhaust line; a blocked external 
termination filter; a blocked internal hydrophobic filter 
(Page 8); a failed pump. 

<1000> Purge Flow Fault:

 Check for: A kink in the 

purge line; a blocked external termination filter; a 
blocked internal hydrophobic filter (Page 8); a failed 
pump. Once the blockage has been cleared, the 
monitor will return to normal operation after the 
monitor completes a purge cycle. 

<4000> Zero Fault:

 The IR detector’s output voltage 

is out of tolerance. Enter the 

DIAGNOS 

function 

(Page 21) and record ALL data. Call the factory with 
this information for further instructions. 

<8000> Clipping Fault: 

The detector voltage may be 

out of tolerance. Use the 

DIAGNOS 

function 

(Page 21) to check the IR detector voltage. Call the 
factory with this information for further instructions.
