4.7.2
Alarm Codes:
?A1 - channel power limit
The realtime optical feedback wants to drive one or more channels past 100% power in
an attempt to maintain RS-7 output optical lock within STP% of PDT
?A2 - channel power ADP limit
The realtime optical feedback wants to drive one or more channels past ADP% allowable
power deviation
?A3 - excessive feedback correction indicated
While the realtime feedback was operating, an excessively out-of-range photodiode
response was encountered indicating a severe problem (RS-7 output power is suddenly
less than ½, or more than twice what it should be)
?A4 - optical feedback lock lost
During an iteration of the realtime optical feedback, the RS-7 output as reported by
the photodiode was outside the permissible range (STP% of PDT)
?A5 – LED TEC temperature lock lost
The TEC temperature-stabilized LED block reported a temperature /1C of the
setpoint (25C)
?A6 – LED TEC overtemperature shutdown
The TEC temperature-stabilized LED block is reporting a temperature in excess of 40C,
the LEDs will be automatically turned off & the unit will not function until the
temperature drops back below 40C
?A7 – LED TEC undertemperature shutdown (thermistor unresponsive)
The TEC temperature-stabilized LED block has been reporting a temperature of less
than 19.5C for longer than 15 seconds. Since the thermoelectric temperature control
should easily be able to raise the TEC block temperature to 25C, this is considered a
fault condition (a possible cause is that the thermistor used to monitor the LED block
temperature is unplugged)
?A8 – MS TEC temperature lock lost
The TEC temperature-stabilized Wavelength Monitor System reported a temperature beyond
+/-1C of the setpoint (25C)
?A9 – MS TEC out of lock timeout/shutdown
The TEC temperature-stabilized Wavelength Monitor System has reported a temperature
/-1C of the setpoint (25C) for longer than 30 seconds
