6.15 ERROR AND EVENT MESSAGES
6.15.1 ERROR MESSAGES ON STARTUP OR EXIT FROM PROGRAM MODE
The following messages can be shown on the display during start up or exit from
programme mode.
“Shift reg clocking fault”
“Invalid # shift regs.Total # regs=xxx # input regs=xxx”
These messages indicate a hardware fault with the shift register bus that connects the
Controller, MAF/PSU, 8 Zone, and 8 Relay modules. The fault could be on the
Controller, the interconnecting FRCs or any of the connected boards. Try connecting
just the MAF/PSU on its own and with different cables to isolate the problem.
“Shift reg driver fault”
This message indicates a problem with the software driver for the shift register bus.
“Clock crystal timebase check fail”
This message indicates a hardware fault on the Controller.
“Clock chip ram write read fail”
“Clock register write read fail”
“Clock startup fault”
These messages indicate a hardware fault on the Controller.
“Eprom CRC fail”
This message indicates the checksum of the software program code is incorrect. This
can be caused by a damaged EPROM or some other hardware fault on the Controller.
6.15.2 ERROR MESSAGES THAT CAN OCCUR ON ENTRY TO PROGRAM MODE
“This database is invalid and should be reinitialised-net dbase in non net panel”
This message is produced on entry to program mode when a database created with
networked F3200 or NDU software is used with non-networked software. This is
unusable and the database should be re-initialised and reprogrammed.
6.15.3 HISTORY OR PRINTER EVENTS
The following additional events can be recorded in the history or printed as an event on a
printer.
SHIFT REG BUS FAULT
This error indicates a fault with the bus connecting the Controller with the MAF/PSU,
zone modules and relay modules. It may be caused by a break or short in the flat ribbon
cable (e.g. bd unplugged), by temporary noise, or by a circuit board fault.
LCD DDRAM READ FAIL
