General Information on the Fault Memory



General Information On The Fault Memory

Fault code setting conditions
Fault codes can be set in several circumstances, e.g.
- battery disconnected
- plug connections disconnected
- power failure

In these circumstances, no fault is present in the system and the fault memory must be erased.

Fault memory Info key F8
In order to be able to assess the fault exactly, the fault memory Info key F8 must be pressed. This information should be saved using the Save key F4 and printed out. If a fault code is stored with "not present" status and no other problems are present, then the fault memory must be erased.

Open circuit - short to ground / voltage short / version; vehicle parameters / counter

Operating hours The value indicates the operating hours at the time the fault first occurred.

Frequency counter When a fault first occurs, a fault entry with the status present is set in the fault memory and the counter is simultaneously set to 50.

If a fault is present, the counter is incremented by one whenever the system is booted. The maximum count is 255.

The counter is decremented if the status fault no longer present is entered and the fault does not occur again when the system is booted. The entry in the fault memory is erased automatically when the counter reaches 0.

If the error occurs again when the counter is between 1 and 49, the counter is reset to 50.

Supply voltage The value indicates the voltage at the time the fault last occurred.
