Non-Point Faults

Point Faults

There are several types of results that can display at the end of an Earth Fault Search. This section covers all types of results.

IMPORTANT: Once you have been directed to an earth fault and corrected it, it is recommended that you restart the system (warm- or cold-start).

A non-point fault indicates a ground that cannot be traced to an addressable point (for example, a shield or an audio riser). The earth fault in this example is not occurring at the audio controller but somewhere in the riser:

CARD 17, ANALOG AUDIO CONTROLLER

AUDIO RISER 1

EARTH FAULT

Non-point faults can be displayed for each of the following items:

•Channel Output (IDNet Card; MAPNET Interface Card)

•RUI Channel (Master Controller Card). (Not used in 4100U-S1).

•Channel 1 to 3 (TrueAlert Power Supply). (Not used in 4100U-S1).

A point fault indicates an earth fault at a specific addressable point. The example below is a location earth fault search result, where 3 is the card address, 10 is the point number, and 0 is the

sub-point number (not used):

CARD 003, FLEX 50 AMPLIFIER

EARTH FAULT

3-10-0

Point faults can be found at any point in the system that connects to field wiring.

Some IDNet channel point fault examples are illustrated below.

Fault not cleared. The message below shows that an IDNet channel that has been isolated for fault detection still has the earth fault:

CARD 2, IDNET CARD (250 POINTS)

M1, EARTH FAULT SEARCH FAULT CLEAR FAIL

Fault between channel output and first isolator. The message below shows a fault between the IDNet channel output and the first isolator on the line:
