Machine Diagnostic System Overview
Use the Information Center to view condition of the machine automation diagnostic system. Under normal
operating conditions, any diagnostic code that is recorded will be shown on the bottom line of the
Information Center. Non-essential codes will remain for 10 seconds and then go away. Essential codes will
remain until the operator clears them from the display. If diagnostic codes are detected, the diagnostic light
will either flash on and off for 10 seconds to indicate a non-essential code or remain on for 3 seconds and
off for half a second to indicate an essential code.
Code Severity Levels
Diagnostic codes are given one of two levels of severity.
•
A non-essential code affects non-essential functions of the unit. If the system detects a non-essential
problem, a diagnostic code will be recorded and the diagnostic light will flash for 10 seconds and then
go out. Each time ignition is turned on, full operation will be available until the diagnostic system
detects a problem.
•
An essential code affects rotation, thrust, drilling fluid, or ground drive. If the system detects an
essential problem, a diagnostic code will be recorded and the diagnostic light will cycle on for three
seconds and off for 1/2 second. Some machine functions may not work until the problem is corrected.
Each time ignition is turned on, full operation will be available until the diagnostic system detects a
problem.
