Indicator

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

PWR ERROR

Improper operation of magnetron: either no magnetron anode

 

 

 

 

 

current 2-4 seconds after high voltage is applied, or the

 

 

 

 

 

presence of high voltage when the Lamp system is in OFF or

 

 

 

 

 

STANDBY.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION: If a PWR ERROR fault is indicated, press the LAMP

 

 

 

 

 

OFF/RESET switch immediately. To prevent magnetron

 

 

 

 

 

damage, single-phase power should be disconnected (see PWR

 

 

 

 

 

ERROR fault).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS TEMP

The power supply is overheating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

BLWR PRESSURE

Cooling air pressure within the irradiator is insufficient.

 

 

 

 

 

 

System Faults

The bottom three LEDs indicate system faults. These faults always shut down ALL units in the system, causing all LAMP CONTROL switches to flash.

System interlock switches and the RF detector may be connected to any unit, but are normally connected to the master. System faults will then be detected and displayed at the master power supply.

 

Table 16. System Faults

 

 

Indicator

Description

 

 

SYS BLWR

Insufficient cooling air pressure in an external supply or exhaust

 

blower causes pressure switch to open.

 

 

EXT INTLK

Open external interlock switch on a plenum cover, for example,

 

connected at customer option.

 

 

RF INTLK

Excessive RF at the RF detector, or loss of power to detector.

 

 

Fault Diagnosis Tables

To determine the likely cause of failure in an F300S/F300SQ unit, note the operating sequence when the failure occurs. Also, record which fault indicator LED lights. The indicator may light immediately when the unit is switched from one condition to another (for example, from STANDBY to ON); or the signal may be displayed until after a programmed internal delay has elapsed.

There is a troubleshooting table for each fault indicator, showing secondary symptoms to help localize the problem. The possible causes are listed, followed by testing and repair instructions.
