11.1.1. Interpreting WARNING Messages
The most common and/or serious instrument failures will result in a warning message being
displayed on the front panel. Table 11-1 lists warning messages, along with their meaning and
recommended corrective action.
It should be noted that if more than two or three warning messages occur at the same time, it is
often an indication that some fundamental analyzer sub-system (power supply, relay board,
motherboard) has failed rather than indication of the of the specific failures referenced by the
warnings. In this case, it is recommended that proper operation of power supplies (see Section
11.4.2), the relay board (see Section 11.4.5), and the A/D Board (see Section11.4.7.1) be
confirmed before addressing the specific warning messages.
The analyzer will alert the user that a Warning Message is active by displaying the keypad label
MSG on the Front Panel. In this case the Front panel display will look something like the
following:
The analyzer will also alert the user via the Serial I/O COM port(s) and cause the FAULT LED on
the front panel to blink.
