Replacement – Basic Components Servicing the iCon APX Meter
4-4 Servicing the iCon APX Meter TM-iX0A-0805
A unique error code can be displayed on the LCD for each Diagnostic Check failure. Refer to
Appendix C: Alarms, Diagnostics, and Errors for more information on specific error codes and
corrective measures. The meter can be configured to do any one of the following options:
• Append the alarm code on the LCD’s display list
• Lock the LCD with the alarm code on the LCD
Configurable tables within the meter contain the necessary values to monitor and regulate the
diagnostics described in this section. A separate data table contains a counter for each diagnostic
and increments when each enabled diagnostic goes from PASSED to FAILED.
Each diagnostic check can:
• Be enabled
• Be disabled
• Cause a history message/dial out to be performed
• Operate an alarm relay
• Cause an error message display
In the event the meter senses a condition that generates an alarm code, the code is sent to the
LCD and displayed based upon the configuration of the Display Module. Refer to
Appendix C: Alarms, Diagnostics, and Errors for more information.
The meter can be configured to display alarm codes. The codes can be cleared by pressing the
RESET button, by a remote command using iConFig, or other software used for
communicating with meters. Alternatively, the meter can be configured to only display alarm
codes for as long as the condition that caused the failure exists.
NOTE:
When
Lock display on alarms is selected (Diagnostic and Alarms Module),
only the first detected alarm is displayed. In case there may be more than one alarm,
Sensus recommends that, prior to clearing the alarms, you use iConFig to read the meter’s
status information The status information will indicate all of the alarms that are present.
