Description
IF2 00001000
low coolant level
ICE cooling
•
System is low on
coolant
•
Changing to longer
coolant lines requires
additional coolant
•
The ICE450 is
horizontal with the
wrong side facing up
•
Ensure coolant is properly filled after
draining the coolant system. Follow the
instructions in
.
•
If operating the ICE450 horizontally,
ensure the coolant fill port is below the vent
port. See front and back panel labels.
There may be a leak or the level-detect
switch may be faulty. Call Quantel
Customer Support.
A coolant level float style switch is located
in the coolant reservoir. When this interlock
is sensed, in addition to the displayed
message on the Remote Box, the reservoir
backlights will flash.
IF2 00000100
low coolant flow
•
Coolant line is
obstructed preventing
proper flow
•
Flow sensor is
damaged or stuck.
•
Examine the coolant lines. Ensure they
are not kinked or otherwise obstructed.
•
Ensure the coolant line connectors are
fully engaged and locked.
•
Ensure the pump is toggled ON from the
Remote Box.
The pump or the flow sensor may require
repair. Notify Quantel Customer Service.
A flow-rate sensor located in the ICE450
coolant loop triggers an interlock condition
when the flow rate is less than 2.2 lpm
(+/- 10%).
IF2 00000010
defective temp.
sensor
One or more of the
three feedback
thermistor circuits
(coolant, charger/
simmer, and harmonic
generator) is faulty or is
running too cold.
•
Ensure all temperatures are above 18 °C.
•
If the system does not include a harmonic
generator, make sure the HG option is
turned off from the System Info menu.
Note:
A reading of 17.9°C indicates a
temperature feedback open circuit. Notify
Quantel Customer Service in this case.
A defective temperature sensor interlock
appears if any one of the three temperature
feedback signals (CG, CS or HG) is
abnormal.
IF2 00000001
power too high
Voltage or frequency
settings are too high,
resulting in power too
high.
Reduce voltage, energy, or frequency until
the power is less than 450W. Verify this
and save the configuration.
The ICE450 calculates the power delivered
to the lamp. If the power per shot is more
than 450W, this interlock is activated.
Note:
Under normal conditions you are
prevented from adjusting the settings too
high. The interlock prevents serious problems.
NOTE: To clear an interlock message, press the “Cursor
Up” or “Cursor Down” button on the Remote Box.
