5.0 Troubleshooting
5.1 General
It is highly recommended that a spare sensor be on hand at all times. Sensor failure
tends to be one of the potential causes of real downtime. A full complement of other GMI
recommended spare parts should also be on hand. (Please refer to Section 7.4.3).
In the event the system is to have less than four active channels, the sensor should be
substituted with a sensor simulator for each unused channel. Otherwise, the unused
channel will be in fault condition (sensor failure). It is recommended that defective
controllers be returned to the factory for repair, even if the warranty has expired.
5.2 Troubleshooting Table
The information presented in the following table is designed to correct the more common
problems, which appear during system startup and operation. Should the various actions
suggested in the table fail to restore normal operation, we recommend that the factory
be consulted and, if necessary, that the system be returned to the factory for repair.
This section is intended to be a guide in correcting problems that may arise in the field.
This section is not all-inclusive, and General Monitors should be contacted for
assistance, if the corrective actions listed do not eliminate the problem. If equipment or
qualified personnel required for various tests is not available, it is recommended that the
defective unit be returned to General Monitors for repair. A complete written description
of the problem should be included.
NOTE:
If the equipment is under warranty, any repairs performed by persons other than
General Monitors’ authorized personnel may void the warranty. Please read the
warranty statement carefully.
