disconnected
-Optics PCB failure
Reconnect, replace
115 Comm� Failure GD no comm� to GD N/A Main PCB failure Contact HA
117 NV Memory Corrupt CRC error code to which test failed� PCB failure Replace
118 mA Output Mismatch Feedback ADC mismatches DAC Error magnitude in mA�
Faulty circuit Contact HA
Incorrect external
wiring
check wiring
Bad calibration
Perform mA
calibration
119 Ethernet Fail Ethernet hardware in UI failed to initialize N/A
External connection
issue
Main PCB failure
Check external

120 Battery Very Low Battery critically low, shutting down Battery level Low battery Charge detector
Maintenance Faults
1 Flow Warning Flow is unregulated Flow, cc/min
Flow out of control
range
Check Chemcassette
Check sample tube
2 Chemcassette Low Tape will run out in 24 hrs N/A Low tape Replace
3 Idle Timeout out of monitor too long N/A Out of monitor
Put in monitor and
reset fault
4 Low Voltage Warning DC input voltage low voltage in Volts
5 Comm Failure SPI no SPI comm� to UI N/A Contact HA
6 File System Error File system error in NAND or USB� N/A Contact HA
7 Comm� Invalid GD Invalid SPI parameter data from GD� N/A Contact HA
8 Warn CC Expiring
A stored tape will expire in 7 days; if enabled,
the same fault will be issued for cartridges
in use�
N/A Old tape Replace
9 Software Error catch all error code Contact HA
10 Optics Adjust Fail Calibration failure error code Calibration failure
Perform calibration
again, Check the
calibration setup,
Contact HA
11 Flow Cal Fail Calibration failure error code Calibration failure
Perform calibration
again, Check the
calibration setup,
Contact HA
