Indications 
Table 41  Indication Messages 
AC (mains) off, hood heaters 
not operational. 
If not intentional operation mode, restore the 
line voltage. 
DISCONNECTED 
+12 V output on the interface 
unit is disconnected due to a 
short-circuit in the output line. 
This has no effect on the 
measurement but warning lights 
or similar options powered from 
this output will not work. 
Check connections to the +12 VOUT pin and 
remove the short-circuit or excessive load. 
There is a 0.9 A solid state fuse on the line. 
After removing the short-circuit, reset the 
FSC202 unit or give the command SET 
+12VOUT ON to restore power to the 
FAULT 
Hood heater not operational. 
Hood temperature has 
increased less than 2 °C within 
the 5 minutes since the heater 
was turned on by the automatic 
heater control circuit. 
If operated only by battery/DC power, set the 
hood heater OFF to prevent this indication. 
Check that the yellow LED is lit on the 
interface unit power supply board FSP103. If 
it is not, check the fuse. 
Check the heating foils visually. If there is a 
black burned area on the surface, the foil 
must be replaced. Contact Vaisala. 
Check the wire connections on the interface 
unit and the measurement unit. 
Check the hood temperatures from the 
status message to see if there is a hood 
heater temperature sensor failure. In case 
any of the hood temperatures are showing 
irrelevant or missing (/////) values, there is a 
temperature sensor failure. Contact Vaisala. 
FAULT 
Dew heater is not operational. 
No current runs through the 
heater element when it is on. 
Check the control cable or the module in 
question (FST102 or FSR102).
