12.3.3  Initialisation critical errors. 

Error no.

Cause: 

Action: 

1:  
Licence is missing. 

The BALTO software 
installation is missing 
a critical component. 

Please contact Megger technical assistance. 

2:  
Calibration values 
missing.  

3:  
Registry key ‘NLC’ not 
found. 

4:  
Registry key ‘NLCin’ 
not found.

The calibration 
program is unable 
to access the 
system calibration 
parameters.  

Please contact Megger technical assistance.

5:  
PLC problem detected.

The calibration 
program is unable to 
communicate with 
the TwinCAT I/O 
service. 

Please try restarting the system.

If the problem persists, please contact Megger technical 
assistance.

6:  
No DC Current 
Generators connected. 

No connected DC 
Current Generators 
are detected.

Ensure that all DC Current Generators are properly 
connected and restart the calibration program.

12.4   Failed calibration messages. 

If a step of the calibration process fails, one of the following messages will be displayed:

The offset output calibration has reached the end without being able to determine a plausible value.

Unable to determine CF_OUT.

Unable to determine CF_IN.

Approaching invalid values, procedure stopped for safety reasons. 

Cause:  

The calibration step failed to determine the calibration value. 

Action:  

Please check the following:

 

ƒ

   The High-speed DC Circuit Breaker is closed. 

 

ƒ

   The High-speed DC Circuit Breaker’s configured trip level is sufficiently high.

 

ƒ

   The calibration sensor is connected properly.

If the problem persists, please contact Megger technical assistance.
