Table 8-40: Addressable analog diagnostic table interpretation 
Table Name  Description  Possible causes 
Device Type 
Fault 
The wrong device type for the 
current configuration. 
Photo detector installed for ion detector 
Ion detector installed for photo detector 
Monitor module installed for control 
module 
Control module installed for monitor 
module 
Two device addresses are transposed. 
Unexpected 
Fault 
A device is reporting at an 
unconfigured address. 
 
All unconfigured addresses 
are polled at startup and at 
10-minute intervals thereafter.
If the total number of Communicating 
Devices is correct, and a Communication 
Fault is reported, the Unexpected Fault 
device should be set to the address listed 
as a Communication fault. 
Duplicate Device 
Fault 
Two or more devices have 
the same address. 
If the total number of Communicating 
Devices shown in the table is correct, a 
device has been assigned the same 
address as a configured device. 
If the total number of Communicating 
Devices is too low, and a Communication 
Fault is reported, the device in the 
Communication fault table is addressed at 
the location shown in the Duplicate Device 
table. 
Communication 
Fault 
Missing device.  Wiring error or device not installed 
If Communicating Devices table short by 
one and Duplicate Device fault exists, then 
address shown in Comm Fault table is 
addressed at location shown in Duplicate 
Device table. 
OR 
If Communicating Devices table OK and 
Unexpected Fault exists, then the 
Unexpected Fault device should be set to 
the address shown in the Communication 
Fault table. 
Open Fault  Module field wiring is open.  Circuit incorrectly wired or connector loose
Defective detector or isolator base 
Broken conductor 
Device not installed on circuit 
Device not entered into SDU databases 
Short Fault   Module field wiring is shorted. Circuit incorrectly wired 
Defective detector, detector base, or 
module 
Nicked insulation between conductors
