Diagnostic Codes
4
Unknown restart. Indicates
uncontrolled shutdown of the
system. Possible causes include
watchdog/bus activity timeout, main
PCB +5VDC failure, or loss of AC
power while in diagnostic mode.
1. Verify AC connection at wall and
ventilator, check circuit breaker.
2. Replace CPU PCB.
3. Replace Sensor PCB.
4. Replace Main PCB.
5. Replace Power Supply.
5
Depleted Backup Battery. Battery
depleted dialog displayed on the
screen.
1. Connect AC power cord and allow
battery to charge.
2. Replace Backup Battery.
3. Replace Power Supply.
1xxx: Failures During Power On Self Test (POST)
1001
Bus activity monitor test failure.
1. Replace CPU PCB.
2. Replace Main PCB.
1002
Watchdog timer test failure.
1. Replace CPU PCB.
2. Replace Main PCB.
1003
Processor test failure.
Replace CPU PCB.
1004
OTP cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
failure.
Replace CPU PCB.
1005
Flash CRC failure.
1. Repeat software download.
2. Replace CPU PCB.
1006
Internal RAM test failure.
Replace CPU PCB.
1007
External RAM test failure.
Replace CPU PCB.
1008
Maximum system resets exceeded:
ventilator has reset 3 times within 2
hours.
Review the diagnostics log: the code in
memory prior to the 1008 occurrence
indicates the root cause.
1009
POST inhalation autozero test
failure. Possible causes include
crimped tube or transducer failure.
1. Check for crimped tube between
three-station solenoid and the sensor
PCB.
2. Replace sensor PCB.
3. Replace analog PCB.
1010
POST exhalation autozero test
failure. Possible causes include
crimped tube or transducer failure.
1. Check for crimped tube between the
three-station solenoid and the sensor
PCB.
2. Replace sensor PCB.
1011
POST OTP flash compatibility test
failure.
1. Repeat software download.
2. Replace CPU PCB.
1012
Air valve liftoff failure: measured
liftoff < 180 or > 500 steps
(default = 280 steps).
See “Diagnostic Code 1012
Troubleshooting” on page 6-24.
1013
Oxygen valve liftoff failure:
measured liftoff < 150 or > 500
steps (default = 280 steps).
1. Use RS-232 diagnostic report
(DRPT) command to obtain detailed
information.
2. If step position during liftoff is
outside range, replace oxygen valve.
3. Replace oxygen motor controller
PCB.
