The length of the message may vary depending on the options
configured in PWD22 and whether there are warning messages. An
asterisk (*) before a value indicates an exceeded limit.
If the Background Luminance Sensor PWL111 is not installed, line
BL680 is edited out. If the optional hood heaters are not installed, the
line HOOD HEATERS OFF is edited out. For details on values of this
message, see Appendix A, Values for Internal Monitoring, on page
111.
If warnings or errors are detected, one or many of the following texts
will appear at the end of the message.
See Table 18 and Table 19 below.

Error Text
Description
Backscatter High
Receiver or transmitter contamination signal has
increased more than the ALARM limit given in the
configuration allows.
Transmitter Error
