Fault Handling
When the instrument detects a problem, it generates a fault. Some faults require the instrument to abort operations. Other faults
will allow the instrument to continue operation.
The computer clears all fault codes at the beginning of each new procedure.
However, if you start a new procedure without correcting the cause of a fault, it
will continue to re-appear.
The screen below shows the primary sections of the instrument fault screen.
The Faults screen includes sections that present information that cannot be changed by the user, along with buttons that allow
the user to modify the current operations or get additional information. The back button is available for returning to the Status
screen or the Diagnostics screen depending on the function you were doing when you entered the Faults screen.
For explanation purposes, we have placed a number in each section of the screen. Your computer screen will NOT show these
numbers.
1. Fault description
Box #1 contains the description of a fault that has recently occurred.
2. Reset fault after it has been repaired
Button #2 is only displayed when a low input pressure fault occurs. When button #2 is pressed, the fault is reset.
3. Next fault
Multiple faults can occur during a procedure. Pressing button #3 will walk through all of the existing faults.
