13. Detector fault / warning message display
The table below shows the warning / fault codes, their meaning and recommended action.
13.1 Detector fault / warning operation
Faults are signalled via the code on the display and 3mA (default) output. If the condition causing the
fault clears the 4-20mA returns to normal operation, but the display will continue to indicate the fault
code. This allows the user to see the code before using ‘’ (>2 seconds and <5 seconds) to clear the
code from the display.
Warnings are signalled via the code on the display. Warnings do not affect the mA output of the detector*.
If the condition causing the warning clears, the display will continue to show the warning code until user
uses ‘’ to clear the code from the display.
Any faults or warnings where the condition causing it still exists cannot be cleared.
*Note: The calibration due warning can be congured to produce a fault output (see section 12 for
further details).
13.2 Reex™ cell fault diagnosis
Series 3000 MkII employs the patented Reex™cell fault diagnosis routine. Reex™ checks for cell
presence, cell dry out and cell open or short circuit. In the event of an electrochemical cell failing this test,
the sensor fault code is displayed. Reex™ is automatically initiated by the transmitter at 8 hourly intervals.
It is also initiated on power up, sensor exchange or sensor cell exchange.
Note: Regular response gas checks and calibrations should still be carried out. Reex™ is not used
on Nitric Oxide or Oxygen cells.
