Any operational anomalies found by the system during Senographe DS operation are signalled by Error
Messages . These may be displayed on the X-ray Console, in a pop-up window on the AWS monitor, or
on the Gantry Readout. They may be simple information messages requiring no action, or they may indi-
cate error or fault conditions requiring action from the operator and/or GEMS Service engineers.
If you need to call GEMS Field Service about an error, you should quote the entire message or mes-
sages, complete with any identification characters.
The following tables list error messages which may occur, with explanations and recommended actions.
Table 1 - lists error messages displayed on the X-ray Console.
• These messages begin with a three-character identification code, followed by the message itself.
The first letter of each code indicates the type of message, as follows:
-
Exx : Error messages indicating that a non-recoverable error has been detected. The system
must be restarted by switching ON/OFF from the X-ray Console.
- Ixx : Information or warning messages indicating operational errors due to temporary fault condi-
tions or attempts to use non-permitted configurations. It is usually possible to continue use of the
system without reboot.
- Sxx . System exposure messages indicating conditions in which an exposure may not be possible
or has not been correctly terminated.
Table 2 - lists error messages displayed on the AWS monitor.
• Three main types of messages are displayed on the AWS monitor:
-
Information messages relating to power on/off events.
- Information messages relating to boot/reset events.
- Information messages relating to disk or memory problems.
Table 3 - lists error messages displayed on the Gantry Readout.
• Four main types of message are displayed on the Readout panel at the foot of the Gantry:
-
Information messages with no prefix: Displayed to acknowledge operator actions such as the
selection of a new field of view.
- Advisory messages with a prefix Axx : Displayed to warn the operator when a requested opera-
tion is not possible.
- Halt messages with a prefix Hxx : Displayed to warn the operator that a non-recoverable error has
been detected. The system must be restarted by switching ON/OFF from the X-ray Console.
- Warning messages with a prefix Wxx : Displayed to warn the operator when an error has been
detected that does not prevent continued operation.
