Diagnostics and repair

LFXG-H Installation and Operation Guide

Some conditions are self-repairing (example: RAM and EEPROM
corruption). Therefore, these may appear in history screens but not
diagnostic screens.

Acknowledging diagnostic alarms

Diagnostic alarms turn off when the problem is solved, except these alarms:

• Source wipe due

• Shutter check due

• Standardize due

Perform the procedure to acknowledge them.

Diagnostic alarm messages

Active alarm messages may appear on the Ohmview 2000 menu if the
alarm condition is selected. You can select individual alarm conditions in the

Alarms | Diagnostic Alarm Enable

tab.

Note:

If the relay is set as a diagnostic alarm, you must
acknowledge all diagnostic alarms to reset the relay.
