
Error - “Valid Pre-Test Required” – This message is displayed or returned
through a channel error query when the instrument has attempted to trigger and
one or more channels with pre pulse resistance testing enabled have not yet
passed testing.
o Simultaneous flashing of the ‘RESISTOR FAULT’ and ‘GROUND FAULT’
LEDs for any channel indicates the test has not yet been run (or re-run
since the last pulsing attempt).
o Alternatin g flashing of the ‘RESISTOR FAULT’ and ‘GROUND FAULT’
LEDs indicate the test was performed previously but failed.

Error - “Failed Resistance Range” – This message is displayed or returned
through a channel error query when the pre or post pulse resistance testing has
been run, and one or more channels were determined to have a resistance
outside the valid range.
o Flashing of the ‘RESISTOR FAULT’ LEDs indicate the test was performed
but the resistance was determined to be outside the valid range.

Error - “Ground Fault” – This message is displayed or returned through a
channel error query after running the post pulse resistance test, when one or
more channels were determined to have a resistance less than the set minimum.
o Flashing of the ‘GROUND FAULT’ LEDs indicate the test was performed
but the resistance was determined to be outside the valid range.

Status - “Arm Switch/Interlock” – This message is displayed when attempting
to fire the unit or run a test with the Arm Switch or Interlock disengaged. This
message will also be returned through the channel error query anytime the Arm
Switch or Interlock is disengaged.

Status - “Channel Not Enabled” – This message is returned through a channel
error query when the current channel is not enabled for pulse output.

Status - “No Test Enabled” – This message is returned through a channel error
query when the current channel is not enabled for pre or post resistance testing.

Error -
“HW Fault” – This message is displayed or returned through a channel
error query when a channel has failed a self-diagnostic check.
Note:
If a “HW Fault” error is indicated, please contact customer service and
indicate the number of the error as returned by the channel error query. This
may indicate an internal hardware failure of the unit.
