12. ERROR / STATUS CODES
Figure 21. Display Error/Status Codes Screen
12.1 Error Example ‘STANDBY, Error 02, Vacuum loss, Detected’
‘STANDBY’ - Indicates supply HV can be turned on. In comparison, ‘DISABLED’ indicates supply HV cannot be turned on.
Turning on supply HV will clear all outstanding errors not requiring user intervention.
For example, error 02 indicates vacuum loss detected while pump was running. User can turn on HV and start pump again, no other action is
required.
In comparison, error 20 indicates safeconn (HV interlock) is not satisfied. The state will read ‘DISABLED’. User cannot turn on HV until
safeconn is satisfied.
‘Error 02’ - See “Table 1. Error / Status Codes” for description of the errors.
‘Vacuum Loss’ - Short description of the error.
‘Detected’ - Indicates error status. Detected means error was detected at some time in the past, but not active anymore.
In comparison, ‘Active’ indicates error was detected and still active at this time. Addition user intervention is required to clear the error.
