alarm, suspect the MUX.
A module reporting failure is not always the defective unit. In some cases, a failure in an
upstream module may be reported by a downstream module.
Examine alarm detail for each module in alarm. This gives a good indication of the
failure. Once the failed module has been identified, replace it with a known good unit.
Checking Alarm Logs
As an alarm occurs, the ACU assigns the alarm a number and adds it to the alarm log.
The first alarm is number 00000. The log stores the last 512 alarms but numbering
continues consecutively to 65535 then starts over at 00000.
NOTE:
ACU reset or power cycle also causes the alarm numbering to reset and drops current en-
tries from the log.
To check the alarm log, perform the following steps from the QuikLink main menu.
1.
Select Alarm and Status (020) and press <Enter>.
2.
Select System (021) and press <Enter>.
3.
Select Alarm Log (038) and press <Enter>.
4.
Select Alarm Report (039) and press <Enter>.
Refer to Appendix D, the Alarm Codes Table, for a list of CM alarm codes and
definitions.
