Canon FY8-13EX-000 Detecting Errors in the Power Supply PCB, Low-Voltage Output Data Error

CHAPTER 7 EXTERNALS/AUXILIARY MECHANISMS

C. Detecting Errors in the Power Supply PCB

The microprocessor (Q512) on the composite power supply PCB either displays an error message on the display by communicating with the DC controller or flashes LED501 to indicate the presence of an error if any of the following is identified.

1. Communication Error between DC Controller PCB and Composite Power Supply PCB

If an error occurs in the communication between the DC controller PCB and the composite power supply PCB, E240 is indicated as soon as it is detected by the microprocessor on the DC controller PCB. If an error is detected by the composite power supply, the LED is flashed at intervals of 5 sec.

2. Error in the High-Voltage Output Data

If the difference between the setting associated with the high voltage generated by the microprocessor (Q512) on the composite power supply PCB and the control value is greater than the specified value, the microprocessor (Q512) sends error data to the DC controller PCB, which in turn indicates E064.

3. Low-Voltage Output Data Error

If the difference between the setting associated with the low voltage generated by the microprocessor (Q512) on the composite power supply PCB and the control value is greater than the specified value, the microprocessor (Q512) communicates with the DC controller PCB, which in turn indicates E803.

4. Overcurrent in the Low-voltage Power Supply

If the composite power supply PCB identifies overcurrent because of an error in a DC load or wire is trapped, the LED is flashed at intervals of 2 sec for 20 sec.

Reference:

Normally, the LED is flashing at intervals of 0.5 sec.
