CREATING THE PROGRAM VOLTECH AT3600 USER MANUAL
PAGE 3.3.28. VPN 98 - 024 TEST PROGRAM EDITOR
Important Note:
Should self-test fail for any reason, contact Voltech technical support immediately,
providing the following information:
• Serial number of the instrument
• Status error codes (the four-digit number and the one or two-digit number in
parentheses on the display)
EDITOR ERROR CODES
Status error codes are also shown when using the Editor software in download and
run mode. They are shown at the end of each test result. Only the first four-digit error
code is displayed when using the Editor.
If you look at the test results screen shown above, you will see that test 4 (LBAL)
contains a status error code of 0010. This error code indicates that “The measurement
had not settled in time”. Although this test passed, it indicates that a problem existed
during the test sequence. In this particular example, the fault was due to a poor
connection to the core of the transformer.
The following table gives the error codes that can appear when using the run facility
in the Editor or when viewing on-line results with the Server. These error codes can
give specific help in modifying the test program, depending on the tests used.
The error code is a 16-bit binary code, which is shown in hexadecimal notation in the
table below. The error codes indicate one single bit of the 16-bit code, and therefore
one or more errors could occur at the same time, which will be shown as a full, 4-
digit hexadecimal code. For example, if a voltage over-range (xxx1) and a current
over-range (xxx2) have occurred at the same time during test, then the error code is
*0003* (i.e., both bits 0 and 1 set in the 16 bit binary error code).
If a test has failed due to an interrupt, then an additional code is attached to bits 12-15
of the error code as the table details further.
