CLOGGING ALARM A very high backscatter signal

has been detected. The optical

path is nearly blocked. The

instrument is in an

unoperational condition. The

data is invalidated.

Check the windows and the hoods of the

optics heads for obstacles such as snow.

Remove the possible disturbance and clean

the windows following the instructions given

in section Cleaning FSM102 Windows on

page 169.

CONTAMINATED

Window contamination

increased, contamination

compensation still reliable.

Clean the windows following the instructions

given in section Cleaning FSM102 Windows

on page 169.

In cold and windy environment

when the hood heaters are not

used, the dew heater power

cannot rise the temperature

enough to prevent dew

condensation, which can

generate a WINDOW

CONTAMINATED warning.

Turn on the hood heaters.

BATTERY LOW

Backup battery voltage low

(<11 VDC), limited operation

time left.

Connect the line voltage or replace the

battery.

If no backup battery is installed,

the line voltage selector switch

is in the wrong position.

Check that the switch in the FSP103 board

is in the position 115 if you are using line

voltages between 100...127 VAC.

LED AGED

LED aged, need for electrical

driving power increased.

Limited operation time left.

Replace the transmitter module FST102 in

the near future.
