Alarms and Troubleshooting

  

6.1  Service Ports and Global Alarm Relay 

 

For advance troubleshooting, the Fusion has additional ports on the back panel that allow 
an  authorized  service  technician  to  connect  a  computer  to  the  control  board  and  log 
detailed real time data and error codes. 

 

Figure 28: Advance troubleshooting ports on the back panel

 

The  data  streams  on  the  RS232  ports  can  be  accessed  by  a  command-line  terminal 
application such as TeraTerm. Please contact Chart or an authorized representative to 
connect to these ports (passwords are required to access the data or make changes to 
parameters). 

6.2  Description of Alarms 

 

The  following  table  describes  all  alarms  that  available  in  the  Fusion.  The  codes  in 
parentheses (in the right-hand column) are the identifiers for each variable in the serial 
data one may obtain from the RS232 ports on the back panel. These alarms are only for 
information.  There  is  an  audible  alarm  buzzer  available  in  Fusion  and  that  can  be 
disabled.  This  will  not  disable  the  alarms,  only  the  audible  buzzer.  Alarms  will  still  be 
displayed visually on the screen if the alarm buzzer is inactive.
