During leak detection operations the LCD display will indicate information which
supports the operator in running the Protec P3000. Besides measurement data, also
current equipment conditions, operating hints as well as warnings and error
messages can be displayed.
5.1 Error Messages and Warnings
The Protec P3000 is equipped with comprehensive self-diagnostic functions. When
a faulty condition is sensed by the control board, this condition is indicated to the
operator via the LCD display as far as possible.
Errors
Errors are events which force an interruption of the measurements in progress and
which the Protec P3000 is not capable of rectifying on its own. Errors are indicated
in plain text together with an error number.
The Protec P3000 remains in the error status. After the fault cause has been
removed the error can be acknowledged by pressing the
RESTART button. The Protec
P3000 then returns to the measurement mode.
Warnings
Warnings are issued if an abnormal condition is detected that may cause increased
inaccuracies of measurements but will not interrupt measuring completely.
In the following table all possible error messages possible reasons for the problem
and the recommendations on how to fix the proplem are listed. If no recommendation
is given (or the recommendation does not fix the problem), please call your nearest
INFICON service representative (www.inficon.com).
Notice In case of enquiries please keep the serial number and the software
version number of the Protec P3000 at hand.
