Messages
Messages for the Mainstream CO
2
option can appear in the equipment alert window and in numeric
zones. If a sensor is damaged, contact Protocol Systems’ Technical Services Department for
information on sensor service options.
ALTIMETER FAILURE - RANGE . The Propaq CS monitor is operating at an altitude outside the
Mainstream CO
2
option’s operating altitude range of -2,000 to 15,000 feet. Returning the monitor
to within this range automatically cancels this message and restores operation.
ALTIMETER FAILURE - RATE
. The altimeter has detected that the ambient pressure is changing
at a rate greater than 100 mmHg/minute. When the rate of change is back within the 100
mmHg/minute range, disconnect and reconnect the CO
2
sensor to the Propaq CS monitor.
DEGRADED WAVEFORM - CHECK ADAPTER (UNCAL appears in the numerics area). The
Mainstream CO
2
adapter is obstructed or the CO
2
sensor has failed. The CO
2
waveform is
displayed without range values. Replace the adapter or replace the sensor.
LACK OF WAVE - CHECK ADAPTER, SENSOR
. Either the airway adapter is obstructed or the
CO
2
sensor has failed. Replace the airway adapter if it is obstructed. The sensor must be
unplugged and plugged in again.
LOW BATTERY - HEATER DISABLED (UNCAL appears in the numerics area). The monitor’s
battery voltage is too low. The CO
2
waveform is displayed without range values. To continue
operation, supply ac power to the monitor.
NO MAINSTREAM SENSOR DETECTED
(SRCH appears in the numerics area). The
Mainstream CO
2
sensor has been disconnected from the Propaq CS monitor after providing CO
2
values. Disconnect and reconnect the sensor to the monitor if necessary.
NON-PROTOCOL SENSOR (UNCAL appears in the numerics area). A CO
2
sensor has been
connected that does not match Protocol’s specifications. The CO
2
waveform is displayed without
range values. Replace the sensor with a Protocol Systems CO
2
sensor.
SENSOR FAILURE - CALIBRATION ERROR
. A sensor is defective or out of calibration and
disabled. Replace the sensor.
SENSOR FAILURE - EEPROM
. The sensor has failed. Replace the sensor.
SENSOR FAILURE - HEATER . The sensor’s temperature control circuit or the monitor’s CO
2
circuitry has failed. Try replacing the sensor. If the message reappears, have the monitor serviced.
SENSOR FAILURE - MOTOR DRIVE . The sensor’s motor drive (in the sensor head) has failed.
Replace the sensor.
SENSOR TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH . The sensor’s temperature is too high. The sensor’s
ambient operating range is 10° to 46° C. When the ambient temperature returns to this range, this
message is automatically removed and operation is restored.
The following messages can appear in the numerics display area.
OFF. No CO
2
source is selected.
SRCH.
The sensor is preparing for a measurement.
UNCAL. The monitor has detected a problem such as a lack of calibration, an obstruction, or a low
battery.
WARM UP. The sensor heater is warming up. Wait 20 to 30 seconds for the sensor to heat. Values
should appear in the numerics area when the sensor is sufficiently warm.
