WARNING: Disconnect primary power prior to servicing.
Platinum Z16HD+
Section 6 Troubleshooting
6.12.8 POWER_FAIL, Fault
This fault is activated as a result of an AC power failure. This fault is detected by
monitoring the +20Vdc supply on the Life Support Board (IC U37). If the +20Vdc
supply drops below the power fail threshold (approximately 12V) the POWER_FAIL
signal is sent to the Master Controller telling it to save the time and ignore certain types
of faults which will obviously be present during a power failure. The transmitter will
return to its previous operating condition automatically when the AC power returns (no
operator intervention required).
6.12.9 LOW_AIR, Fault
Nominal air flow for the Z16HD+ is 350 cfm. The airflow reading should read around
100% at high fan speed and is usually near 60-70% for low fan speed. If the airflow is
reduced to 25% or 88 cfm, the LOW_AIR fault is triggered. The fan will be switched to
high speed in an attempt to compensate. However if the airflow is not increased above
25%, the transmitter will shut off. Also, if the transmitter is already at high fan speed
when this fault occurs, the transmitter will be shut off. The air flow percentage can be
seen on the Diagnostics Display by pressing [METERING, A, C]. Depending on the
ambient temperature, one of several temperature faults could proceed an air flow fault.
The most likely cause of this fault is failure of the blower motor. The motor also has
thermal protection which will automatically shut the motor down.
!
CAUTION:
TURN OFF ALL POWER TO THE TRANSMITTER AT THE WALL BREAKER
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE THE BLOWER MOTOR. THE THERMAL
PROTECTION, INTERNAL TO THE MOTOR, IS AUTOMATIC. IT WILL SHUT
THE BLOWER OFF IF THE MOTOR TEMPERATURE GETS TOO HIGH, BUT IT
WILL ALSO AUTOMATICALLY TURN IT BACK ON AFTER A FEW MINUTES AS
THE TEMPERATURE GOES DOWN.
6.12.10 UPS, Uninterruptible Power Supply Fault
This fault indicates that the transmitter has switched over to the UPS (or generator
possibly). The transmitter power output is now controlled by the UPS Power Level
setting in the Configuration menus of the Diagnostics Display. To check or set the UPS
Power Level press [CONFIGURATION, B, A, B]. The default factory setting is
3500W(1750W). Use the ABCD keys to set a new UPS power level. Press [BACK] to
save any changes and [HOME] to cancel any changes.
!
WARNING:
THE EXCITER IS NORMALLY POWERED THROUGH AN UNINTERRUPTIBLE
POWER SUPPLY (UPS). AC POWER WILL STILL BE PRESENT AT THE EXCITER
