5.5ERROR MESSAGES DURING FIP CONFIGURATION

Listed below are some error messages that can appear on the LCD during installation. Refer also to Section 6.6.3 System Faults in the Operator Manual LT0119.

Error messages that can occur on startup or exit from program mode

"Shift reg clocking fault"

"Invalid # shift regs.Total # regs=xxx # input regs=xxx"

These messages indicate a hardware fault with the shift register bus that connects the Controller, MAF/PSU, 8 Zone, and 8 Relay modules. The fault could be on the Controller, the interconnecting FRCs or any of the connected boards. Try connecting just the MAF/PSU on its own and with different cables to isolate the problem.

"Shift reg driver fault"

This message indicates a problem with the software driver for the shift register bus.

"Clock crystal timebase check fail"

This message indicates a hardware fault on the Controller.

"Clock chip ram write read fail" "Clock register write read fail" "Clock startup fault"

These messages indicate a hardware fault on the Controller.

"Eprom CRC fail"

This message indicates the checksum of the software program code is incorrect. This can be caused by a damaged EPROM or some other hardware fault on the Controller.

Error messages that can occur on entry to program mode

"This database is invalid and should be reinitialised-net dbase in non net panel" This message is produced on entry to program mode when a database created with networked F3200 or NDU software is used with non-networked software. This is unusable and the database should be re-initialised and reprogrammed.
