Transducer Control 5 User Manual (RWT3746IM) 

Revision 5, December 2016 - Page 25 

Error 

Error flags indicate that a system fault has been detected. System faults cannot be 

corrected  by  the  user.  If  a  fault  condition  does  occur,  try  power  cycling  the 

transducer.  If  the  fault  does  not  clear  the  transducer  will  have  to  be  returned  for 

service. 

 

Electronics Fault (Firmware Version 5) 

An electronics fault has been detected. 

 

Head Disconnect (Firmware Version 3/4) 

Please  refer  to  the  previous  section  for  a  description  of  this  error.  In  firmware 

version  5  this  error  was  reclassified  as  a  warning  as  it  is  a  condition  that  is 

correctable by the user. 

 

SAW Error 

A  SAW  error  indicates  that  the  shaft  attached  SAW  devices  are  not  operating 

within normal parameters. 

 

Failed Temperature Sensor 

A  failed  temperature  sensor  error  indicates  that  the  transducers  internal  shaft 

temperature  sensor  has  malfunctioned.  When  the  temperature  sensor  fails  the 

transducer  will  no  longer  compensate  the  torque  readings  for  changes  in 

temperature, which will cause a loss in accuracy. 

  

Irregular Internal Voltage 

An irregular internal voltage error indicates that main processor has detected that 

one of the internal voltage rails is operating outside of normal parameters. 

 

Data Configuration Invalid 

A data configuration invalid error indicates that main build configuration has been 

corrupted. 

 

Calibration Invalid 

A  calibration  invalid  error  indicates  that  the  calibration  data  has  become 

corrupted. 

 

SAW Parameters Invalid (RWT Transducers) 

A SAW parameters invalid error indicates that an internal configuration structure 

has become corrupted. 

 

ORT Parameters Invalid (ORT Transducers) 

An ORT parameters invalid error indicates that an internal configuration structure 

has become corrupted.
