3 3 GENII-RC System Faults
There are a number of faults the GENII-RC can raise or report. Many of these faults
include an “entity” and a “sub-entity,” which specifies where the error occurred. For
example, in a Critical Path Fail fault, the entity is the amplifier ID, and the sub-entity is the
amplifier path.
Table 6 GENII-RC System Faults
Fault
Description
Amp Psu Overvolt
An amplifier power supply reports over-voltage.
Amp Psu Undervolt
An amplifier power supply reports under-voltage.
Bad Params
A fan-monitor I/O board has been sent an invalid configuration.
Bad Manufacturing
Data
An I/O board or amplifier reports bad manufacturing data.
Code Assert
An I/O board has encountered a recoverable software failure.
Code Memory Crc
The controller, an I/O board, or an amplifier has detected its
firmware image in memory is corrupt.
Config Crc
The controller configuration in memory has changed or become
corrupt.
Config Defaulted
An unconfigured I/O board or amplifier has started and has
configured itself with the defaults.
Crc File Missing
The controller cannot validate a firmware or data file on disk
because its accompanying CRC file cannot be found.
Critical Path Fail
An audio path from the controller to the output of an amplifier is
not working correctly.
DC Supply Overvolt
The controller power supply reports over-voltage.
DC Supply Undervolt
The controller power supply reports under-voltage.
Earth Fault
An amplifier speaker circuit has a conductive path to earth
ground.
Fan Fail
An amplifier fan has failed.
Lower Fan Fail
A fan-monitor I/O board lower fan has failed.
