GENERATOR FAULT DIAGNOSIS
FAULT AND ERROR DIAGNOSIS
Fault Type Interpretation
Most technical problems are indicated by either a fault or error symbol that
appears in the G400 Workstation display window and an associated indication
on the video on screen display (OSD).
Fault Type
Three basic levels of fault reporting exist within the G400 Workstation, soft,
recoverable and fatal.
SOFT [SOFT]
Soft describes events bringing the attention of the user to an attempt to use the
G400 Workstation outside the specification. This will be annunciated by a
warning beep.
An example of this would be “Power Limit” if the user were causing a short with
the instrument.
Once the fault condition is removed the G400 Workstation will continue to
operate as normal. No other user intervention is required.
RECOVERABLE [R] and [AR]
A recoverable fault is a transient, non-hazardous event recoverable using a
G400 Workstation reset function. To reset the G400 Workstation after a fault
occurs, first depress and release the mode key once. The fault symbol on the
display should flash. Depress and release the mode key once more to
complete the reset.
NOTE: [AR] faults are automatically cleared when the underlying fault is
cleared no mode key operation is required. The workstation does not go
through its power up reset sequence.
The symbol on the display will be of the form:
“FAULT CODE XXX REF XX”
Fault detected
Action needed”
IMPORTANT
Remember to take note of the fault symbol for reporting to a service
engineer before completing the reset.
FATAL [F] and [AF]
