Audio Failure Alarm
If no audio is applied to the Omnia, the following messages will be transmitted next on the RS-232 port,
approximately twenty seconds after boot up:
Flr : Audio failure: left input
Flr : Audio failure: right input
Flr : Audio failure: left output
Flr : Audio failure: right output
In the absence of an audio source, these “Audio failure” messages are normal. Note that the Omnia's audio
failure trigger level is –37.5dBFS, and the signal must remain at or below that level in order for the silence
detect algorithm to time out. It is possible to see these messages during normal programming if the audio input
level happens to fall below –37.5dBFS and remains there until the audio fail algorithm times out.
Audio Restoration Alarm
Approximately five seconds after audio has been restored to levels above –37.5dBFS, the following messages
will be seen:
Flr : Audio restored: left input
Flr : Audio restored: right input
Flr : Audio restored: left output
Flr : Audio restored: right output
Note that it is possible for there to be audio Output failure messages but no audio Input failure message. This
means that the unit is detecting applied audio at its Inputs, but that there is no output from the DSP chain.
From the perspective of signal flow, the Input meters follow the input level adjustment controls (Input Menu).
This is also where the input to the Input Audio Failure comes from.
Diagnostic and Error Messages
In the event that you need to contact Telos / Omnia Customer Support for assistance, please see the section
entitled Obtaining Service on Page 97 for contact information.
The following error messages will appear on the front panel screen:
Insufficient Memory! Save As Failed.
Description:
This error will occur when trying to save a new preset while there are already 50 presets (including
factory presets) on the rear-panel PCMCIA card.
Cause:
Too many presets are saved to the rear-panel software card.
Resolution:
Delete a preset or two and then try the save operation again.
The following messages will only appear on the rear panel RS-232 Serial Port. See page 92 for instructions on
how to access the serial port messages.
Work: Insert card to continue!!!
Description:
The operating system cannot see the rear-panel PCMCIA memory card.
Cause:
The rear-panel PCMCIA card is missing or not fully seated.
Resolution:
Turn the power off and make sure that the card is fully inserted into the
top
card slot with the large
Omnia label facing up and the version number sticker facing down. The PC Card is keyed to prevent improper
insertion. Gently press the card into the slot until the black release button, to the right of the card, pops out about
1/2” [12.70 mm]. This indicates the card is properly seated in the PCMCIA slot. If the card is properly seated and
this error still appears, contact Telos / Omnia Customer Support for assistance.
