What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display Sensor Configuration Reset?
- RRoger SimsSep 23, 2025
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'Sensor Configuration Reset', it indicates the sensor datasheet was reset. Calibrate the sensor.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display Sensor Configuration Reset?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'Sensor Configuration Reset', it indicates the sensor datasheet was reset. Calibrate the sensor.
What to do if my MSA Gas Detectors have Zero Calibration Fault?
If your MSA Gas Detectors indicate a 'Zero Calibration Fault', it means the sensor did not pass the Zero calibration operation. Acknowledge the fault to revert to the previous calibration. This fault can be caused by: 1. A bad sensor 2. The sensor is trying to zero while span gas is being applied. Check the zero gas cylinder is correct and within expiration date. If not using zero gas, ensure that there is not a background concentration of the target gas in the atmosphere. Go through the calibration process again after verifying. If the fault persists, replace the sensor.
What to do if my MSA Gas Detectors show ACT Fault?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display an 'ACT Fault', it indicates an out of range measurement. Replace the sensor.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors show Sensor End of Life Fault?
If your MSA Gas Detectors show a 'Sensor End of Life Fault', it means the sensor is at the end of its life. Try recalibrating the sensor. If the error persists after recalibration, replace the sensor.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors have Life and Health Fault?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display a 'Life and Health Fault', it means the sensor is at the end of its life. Try to recalibrate the sensor to extend its life. If the error doesn't clear after recalibration, replace the sensor.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display General System Error?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'General System Error', it indicates one of the internal power supplies is out of range. Adjust the input power supply voltage to within range for the sensor configuration or replace the main PCBA.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display Supply Voltage Fault?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'Supply Voltage Fault', it means the input power supply is out of the operating range, either too low or too high. Check that the input power supply is within range for the sensor configuration.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display External Memory Access Error?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'External Memory Access Error', it indicates that an error occurred communicating with the EEPROM. Select Reset Main Unit from the Instrument menu, verify the customer settings, and replace the main PCBA.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display Sensor Heater Fault?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'Sensor Heater Fault', it indicates the sensors heater is not working properly. Replace the sensor.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display Sensor Element Error?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'Sensor Element Error', it means the sensor is broken. Replace the sensor.
