Table 3-16 Module Status RS-485 Strings
Response Cause Solution
00 ST OK Module is operating normally. No solution necessary.
01 CGBAD Conductron sensor is inoperable. • Cycle power to the module.
• If necessary, replace the gauge assembly (see
page 66).
05 IG HV Micro-Ion gauge grid voltage failure. Cycle power to the module or send IG1 command
to clear the status response (see page 61).
06 IG EM Micro-Ion gauge emission failure.
07 IGFIL One Micro-Ion gauge filament is open. • If SF command is set to AUTO, ALT, or Y,
operation automatically switches to the other
filament (see page 52).
• If SF command is set to MAN or T, send IG0
command, then send IG1 command to switch
filaments (see page 50).
08 POWER Power cycle has occurred, module is starting up. No solution necessary. The “00 ST OK” string will
be generated next if the module is operating
properly.
