ERROR & FAULT SYMBOL INTERPRETATION
Most technical problems are indicated by either an Error or a Fault symbol that appears in the
Generator display window.
• An Error symbol indicates an accessory malfunction or a Generator component failure
that requires servicing of the equipment. These symbols include a code number to be
used by DePuy Mitek technical service to diagnose why the system failed.
• A Fault symbol indicates a transient non-hazardous event and can be corrected by
resetting the system.
ERROR SYMBOLS
An Error symbol is displayed as two alternating messages:
“ERROR XXX REF YYY”
“INTERNAL FAILURE”
WARNING
An error symbol indicates an equipment malfunction which may be hazardous. Disconnect all
accessories and switch the Generator off. Switch the Generator back on and if the self-test is
completed satisfactorily as evidenced by the “CONNECT CABLE” symbol in the display, the
failure occurred in the accessories which should be discarded and replaced. If the self-test fails,
then all functions will be inhibited and no attempt should be made to use the Generator. Contact
DePuy Mitek customer service for assistance.
FAULT SYMBOLS
A Fault symbol is displayed as two alternating messages:
“FAULT XXX REF YYY”
“TEXTUAL MESSAGE”
where TEXTUAL MESSAGE relates to the type of fault.
NOTE
Remember to take note of the fault code for reporting to customer service before completing
the reset.
The generator can be reset after a fault occurs by either:
1 Depress and release the MODE button once,
OR
2 Depress both footswitches simultaneously and release both footswitches once
(VAPR II ONLY)
OR
3 Depress and release the menu/reset button
(VAPR 3 ONLY)
