TESTING AND FAULT FINDING

5.1

Introduction

The ADTS 505 contains a built-in, self-test and diagnostic system. The system continuously 
monitors the performance of the unit and at power-up carries out a self-test. Warning and 
error messages are displayed during normal operation if out of range values are entered or if 
faults occur.

This section details the standard serviceability test and the possible error messages and 
codes that can be displayed. A fault diagnosis flow chart and table provide the probable 
cause and procedures to rectify specific symptoms.

Error messages

When the display shows a message indicating entry of incorrect data or values, pressing 
CLEAR/QUIT clears the message and allows the correct entry to be made.
