This section of the manual deals with the unexpected. Normally the installer or
operator will not come to these pages because the installation is working just fine.
However, there may come a time when you get that feeling that the Eclipse is trying
to tell you something by putting up an error message on the display, or you may feel
that an input key or an output is not doing what it is supposed to do. These unex-
pected events are what this section is all about.
Power Up Diagnostics
Each time power is applied to the Eclipse, it runs a series of memory tests. While
these tests are being run, a lamp test is done on the display. The lamp test consists
of all display segments being ON for 1 to 2 seconds.
After the lamp test, any diagnostic test failure will be indicated by an error message.
If one of the following occurs,
an internal RAM, ROM, or EEPROM memory device has failed and the unit should be
returned to the factory for repair. These errors are not recoverable.
Additionally, four memory checksum tests are performed. A failure in any of these
tests will result in an error message on the display. These errors are recoverable,
however, program selections or calibration data or run data will be lost. A checksum
test failure indicates that the stored data does not match the stored checksum of the
date; therefore the data is invalid. The recovery process loads default data into the
affected memory area. The user acknowledges the error message by pressing any
key on the keypad. The Eclipse responds with an appropriate default message
indicating which section of memory has been defaulted. The user should then re-
enter program values or presets before operating the unit. In the case of a calibra-
tion error, which applies only to the analog output option, the unit should be re-
calibrated before being put back into service.
The four checksum test error messages are:
Calibration error. This applies only to the calibration of the analog
output option. Press any key to clear the message. The display
will respond with
. Re-calibrate the analog output be-
fore putting the unit back in service.
Program data error. Press any key to clear the message. The
display will respond with
. Re-enter the program mode
selections for your application before putting the unit back in ser-
vice.
Run data error in NOVRAM (
) or EEPROM (
).
