ALARMS
Possible causes / Checks Solution
Problem with Teon tube
sealing - check tubes and
connections.
For Teon tubes connected to pressure transducer and safety pressure switch, check:
- Proper fastening of tubes to ttings at chamber rear end and to the 2 components.
- Condition of Teon tube on tting, under locking ring nut.
Tighten properly, if needed, after cutting off the end of the Teon tube that was locked
under the ring nut.
To check for proper sealing, you may start a test cycle from menu SERVICE/TEST
CYCLES/NO VACUUM SQ, that will pressurize the system omitting the pre-vacuum
phases.
Problem with Manifold
solenoid valve sealing -
check for proper sealing.
For solenoid valves EV1 – EV3 – EV5, check:
- cursor and seat for proper closing, condition and cleanliness.
To check for proper sealing, it might be a good idea to test the individual solenoid
valves from menu SERVICE/COMPONENT TEST/SOLENOID VALVES – OTHER
COMPONENTS SQ 12/SQ 13, that lets you actuate the individual solenoid valves to
conrm that they close properly.
Problem with steam
generator sealing – check
for proper sealing.
Check the condition of the reinforced tubes connected to the generator and their
stainless steel clamps.
Check for proper sealing at the coupling between outer body/inner core of generator.
LCD E 902 Indication Alarm description Effect / Symptom
TEST FAILED
VACUUM PULSE FAILED:
Vacuum test failed, vacuum pulse
TIMEOUT exceeded.
Negative pressure value of – 0.80 bar not reached
before set TIMEOUT.
Possible causes / Checks Solution
Problem with vacuum pump
start-up – check pump.
Conrm pump start-up when test cycle is activated.
To perform this check, it might be a good idea to activate the vacuum pump from menu
SERVICE/COMPONENT TEST/OTHER COMPONENTS – SOLENOID VALVES SQ
14, that lets you detect air suction from the chamber.
Check/Change the vacuum pump.
Problem with vacuum pump
efciency – check pump.
Check chamber drain lter.
Check vacuum pump diaphragms.
Check vacuum pump shutters.
Vacuum pump maintenance.
Problem with solenoid valve
activation – check solenoid
valves.
Check for proper activation and opening of EV3 – EV4.
To perform this check, it might be a good idea to check for EV3 –EV4 opening activate
from menu SERVICE/COMPONENT TEST/OTHER COMPONENTS – SOLENOID
VALVES SQ 15, that lets you detect air suction from the chamber.
Problem with tubes – check
tubes.
Check condition and proper connection of:
Reinforced tubes of chamber
TEFLON tubes
Braided tubes of heat exchanger
Problem with heat
exchanger sealing - check
heat exchanger.
Disconnect inlet and outlet tubes of exchanger, connect tubes together so as to bypass
exchanger.
Activate test cycle.
Change heat exchanger.
LCD E 998 Indication Alarm description Effect / Symptom
REMOTE SERVICE Remote access in Service mode
Possible causes / Checks Solution
A connection to “Service” menu occurred from remote
through Ethernet or WiFi (Futura only)
Nothing to do
LCD E 999 Indication Alarm description Effect / Symptom
MANUAL INTERRUPTION Manually interrupting the cycle.
STOP control is kept depressed for at least 3” and
cycle is stopped.
Possible causes / Checks Solution
User pressed the START/
STOP key.
The manual STOP control must only be used when necessary.
Do not use it to add load to the chamber.
