Error Types
There are two types of errors encountered in the VersaPort; recoverable and
non-recoverable. The recoverable errors require no special message to clear the error
and the elevator may automatically go to the Home position.
A non-recoverable error will halt the VersaPort. After the occurrence of any
non-recoverable error, the VersaPort will enter into an error state which inhibits
acceptance of any action command until the error is cleared.
To rest a non-recoverable alarm report using SECS messages:
S2, F41 RCMD = 16 (HCS_RESET_ERROR)
Errors can also be reset using ISIM software:
NOTE . . .
ISIM IS ONLY TO BE USED BY TRAINED OPERATORS AND TECHNICIANS.

Alarm Report Send
In the SECS messages, the Alarm Report Send (S5,F1) contains three variables:
ALCD (Alarm Code), ALID (Alarm I.D.), and ALTX (Alarm Message
Text).
• Alarm Code is an indication of whether the alarm condition is recoverable.
• Alarm I.D. is an indication of the type of instruction that the VersaPort was
performing when the error occurred.
• Alarm message text provides specific error messages. See Table 6 on page 50
and Table 7 on page 50 for a description of error messages.
