What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display Lamp Fault?
- AAlan ClarkSep 4, 2025
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'Lamp Fault', it indicates the sensors lamp is not operating properly (XIR PLUS sensors only). Replace the sensor.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display Lamp Fault?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'Lamp Fault', it indicates the sensors lamp is not operating properly (XIR PLUS sensors only). Replace the sensor.
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 to do if my MSA Gas Detectors show Low Signal Failure?
If your MSA Gas Detectors indicate a 'Low Signal Failure', this indicates the sensors output is low. Clean the optics on the sensor or replace the sensor.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display EEPROM Fault?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display an 'EEPROM Fault', it indicates there is an error with the EEPROM. Select Controller Data Reset from the Instrument menu and verify the customer settings.
What to do if my MSA Gas Detectors have External Memory Checksum Error?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'External Memory Checksum Error', it indicates the EEPROM memory is not valid. Select Controller Data Reset from the Instrument menu, verify any custom settings, and recalibrate the instrument.
What does it mean if my MSA Gas Detectors display Configuration Fault?
If your MSA Gas Detectors display 'Configuration Fault', it indicates that an incorrect configuration was detected. Typically, this occurs when a unit has both sensors disabled and no sensor attached. Attach one sensor to the unit.
