A message consists of a title, a message text and a code. The VIO system displays three
different types of messages:
a) Messages that prompt you to inform Technical Service, as the VIO 3 or a VIO module
(e.g. APC
3) cannot be used. These messages are not listed individually in the User
Manual, because the messages only differ in their code. The title and the message text
are all identical: Note: The unit cannot be used. Please contact the service department.
b) Status messages.
c) Messages that prompt you to take action.
Messages of categories b) and c) that concern APC 3 are found in the following table.
The messages are sorted alphabetically by their code.
Code Title Message text
APC-A-10 Argon - high input pressure The input pressure of the APC 3 argon plasma module is too high.
Check the pressure regulator and the gas bottle.
If you do not use gas bottles, check the pressure of the central gas
supply.
Please contact the service department.
APC-A-11 Argon gas (Ar) Argon gas is required for the selected program, but no argon gas
pressure is detected.
Connect the gas hose at the rear of the APC 3 argon plasma module.
APC-A-12 Argon gas (Ar) Argon gas is required for the selected program, but no argon gas
pressure is detected.
Connect the sensor cable of the pressure regulator to the APC 3
argon plasma module.
Connect the gas hose at the rear of the APC 3 argon plasma module.
If you work with a central gas supply, switch to "Central gas supply"
under "Further settings".
APC-A-13 Argon gas flow blocked Ensure that the APC instrument is free from blockages.
APC-A-148 Gas bottle almost empty The supply in the argon gas bottle is almost used up.
Change the argon gas bottle at the next opportunity.
APC-A-150 Argon gas pressure regulator No signal is detected from the fill level sensor of the argon gas bottle.
Connect the sensor cable of the pressure regulator to the APC 3
argon plasma module.
If you work with a central gas supply, switch to "Central gas supply"
under "Further settings".
