MESSAGE
POSSIBLE REASONS,
PROPOSED REMEDY
>>>> BASE UNIT/CASE
Pneum. Controller Update
failed
When loading new software in to a base unit where the pneumatic system
module which is still operating on outdated software, then, upon switching on,
the pneumatic system module is automatically updated. This error message
would indicate an updating error which cannot be corrected.
REMEDY: Exchange the pneumatic system controller
The battery is very low
Low battery voltage
REMEDY: Connect to mains power
ERR18 (Pump Frequency
Alert)
- Air Leak suspected!
The pump for the intake flow must operate longer than expected so as to
maintain the operating vacuum. This can be caused by a leak or a defective
pump.
REMEDY: Check the O-rings at the connectors of handset and SmartSensor.
If you cannot find the cause please get in touch with ISM.
>>>> PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
ERR09 (No response)
The pneumatic system controller does not respond.
REMEDY: Check the connections of the pneumatic system controller, replace
pneumatic system controller.
The following messages relate to the self test of the pneumatic system controller. It checks all
electropneumatic components as well as the internal power switches of the controller
This self test is run at the point of time when the instrument is switched on. For this reason the
following messages can only appear when starting the system.
ERR01 (Safety Relay
stuck)
The safety relay interrupts, with the instrument switched off, the power supply
to the pump and the solenoid valves. Thus the battery is protected against
being completely discharged in the case of a fault. This message indicates
constant continuity of the safety relay.
REMEDY: Replace the pneumatic system controller.
ERR02 (HS-Valve offline)
The coil of the HIGHsens solenoid valve does not respond. Defective wiring or
solenoid coil.
REMEDY: Check the wiring, replace the coil.
ERR03 (Pump Valve
offline)
The coil of the pump solenoid valve does not respond. Defective wiring or
solenoid coil.
REMEDY: Check the wiring, replace the coil.
