Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

This equipment performs self-checks when certain troubles occur. It

emits a buzzer and displays the status, cause and remedial procedure
on the screen in order to notify and assist the operator. It also inform the
operator when maintenance is necessary. These are collectively referred
to as “alarms”. This chapter explains about alarms and other possible
equipment troubles, their causes and how to remedy the situation. In the
following cases, contact ESPEC CORP. or the place if purchase:
When the equipment fails to operate properly after you have taken the prescribed remedial action.
Anywhere in this manual that you are instructed to “Call for service”.

WARNING
When taking action on the primary side of the
breaker, be sure to turn off the main power supply
switch at your facility. Also, use caution not to
apply voltage accidentally.
Attempting to solve a problem with the power on can
result in electric shock and create a very dangerous
situation.
Use the supplied breaker handle stopper to prevent
the breaker from being turned on accidentally.
Shut the main breaker OFF before attempting to
access the electrical compartment.

6.1 Displayed alarms

When an alarm is generated, the alarm screen shown below
automatically appears and the buzzer is triggered. The ALARM icon
keeps blinking until the alarm is cleared.
Press the alarm event on the Alarm screen to display the status details.
Check the status details, and then press [Stop Beep] to stop the alarm
buzzer.

Alarm screen

Pressing the alarm event displays the following alarm help (details).
ALARM HELP screen

Notice
• If the error or warning buzzer is turned OFF, alarm status
cannot be notified with a buzzer sound, which may lead
to delays in acknowledging an error or warning. Do not
turn OFF the buzzer if at all possible.
If the buzzer is turned OFF, the occurrence of an error or
warning is indicated only by the red blinking pilot lamps and
on the Alarm display screen.

１２５
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

Reference The alarm buzzer notifying a "warning/error" can be set using "Set
Sound" on the Configuration screen. This can be accessed from the
Chamber Setup screen.

Corrective action
Take the following action when an alarm is generated. There are 2 types
of alarms -“Error” and “Warning”- and they are dealt with differently in
some respects.

Error Generated when trouble occurs with the equipment or a

single unit. (A buzzer is emitted.)
Warning Generated when control is destabilized for reasons other
than trouble such as when maintenance is required.

Reference Operation may be continued in backup mode even when an

“Alarm” occurs. Refer to the section “Equipment response in
backup mode“in Chapter 6.

 When an error occurs

Procedure １. Press [Stop Beep] to stop the alarm beep.

２. Check the troubleshooting procedure by following the instructions in

the manual or messages on the ALARM HELP screen.

 When a warning is generated

Procedure １. Press [Stop Beep] to stop the warning beep.

２. Check the troubleshooting procedure by following the instructions in

the manual or messages on the ALARM HELP screen.

３. Press [CLR] on the ALARM HELP screen.

Even when a "warning" is generated, operation does not stop.
However, the warning notification will remain on the ALARM screen
until the power is turned OFF.

１２６
 Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

Alarm Report screen

When an alarm has been generated, a report can be found by going to
the Chamber Setup menu. Report on alarms can be obtained while they
are still active, from the ALARM screen, but alarm entries are deleted the
moment the actual alarm is cleared. In any case, all alarms occurred to
date can be seen on the Alarm Report screen.
This screen reports other system information such as refrigerator
defrosting and humidifier cleaning.

Procedure １. Select Chamber Setup mode from the menu.

Press the Chamber Setup tab.
Press [Alarm Report] on the Chamber Setup screen.

２. The alarm report is displayed.

１２７
Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

No.: To display the alarm report number (1 - 100).

Type: To display whether it is an error or a warning.
Alarm: To display the error event or warning that has occurred.
Pressing an alarm event displays the ALARM HELP screen
corresponding to that event.

Date: To display the date and time the error or the warning
occurred.
： To select the previous/next page.
Seek No.: Input the alarm report number to jump to the corresponding
alarm or warning.

Reference • Displays the last 10 alarm reports per screen in reverse

chronological order of occurrence.
• Up to 100 warning and error events can be stored. When the
number of events exceeds 100, the reports are deleted in
chronological order.

Equipment response in the backup mode

This chamber has a backup feature that can be turned ON/OFF from the
chamber setup mode.
If "ON" is selected for Backup Mode, the chamber issues a warning
when an error occur, but continue operation. (Refer to the program
response table below)
The backup mode can be turned OFF from the touch screen, but in this
situation, the entire system will shut down when trouble occurs.
Though in some cases test conditions cannot be met once the backup
mode kicks in, the mode itself has been added to protect specimens
against damage which might occur when the entire system is shut down,
as well as to minimize time loss as best possible when total shutdown
does in fact occur.
To better understand equipment behavior in the backup mode and use
the chamber more effectively, the below table describes how the
chamber responds when trouble occurs.
To check under which error statuses backup mode is applied, refer to
"Alarm tables" in "Chapter 6 Troubleshooting".

Reference In the Alarm tables on the following

pages, “BU” is indicated where the
backup mode is available for use.
For information on setting backup
mode in the event of an alarm, refer to

response during the operation” in
“Chapter 4 Management Setting” of the
Reference Manual.

Alarm tables
Alarms are displayed as a pretext to the backup mode kicking-in. If the
mode is OFF when an error occurs, the entire system will shut down.
However, in the program mode, the operation will pause.
The following codes are used in these tables:
