A-Type Error General Troubleshooting 
Each of the specific A-type errors discussed below causes the UD-710 automatic 

IRRADIATOR

 to cease 

automatic operation.  No dosimeters are read after an A-type error occurs until the problem is resolved.  This type 
of error occurs for one of two reasons.  First, a timing sensor did not detect a signal within the specified time limit 
even though the upper sensor detected the top shelf of the Automatic Magazine Changer.  Second, the shelf 
location in the 

IRRADIATOR

 memory was the first shelf, even though the upper sensor did not detect the top shelf.  

Troubling this type of error consists of removing any obstacle, checking the mechanism or replacing faulty parts 
according to the Service Manual. 
 
A3 Errors 
This is a timing sensor error which occurs when a signal is not received within a specified time limit of moving one 
shelf up or down even though the rack driving motor is operating.  This error is usually caused by something 
blocking the magazine rack, failure of the driving motor, failure of the sensor, or failure of the printed circuit (PC) 
board of the driving circuit.  This error may be resolved by removing any blocking material, checking the 
mechanism or its control circuits or replacing any faulty components. 
 
A5 Errors 
An A5 error is produced by one of two timing sensor problems.  First, an A5 error may be produced when the 
magazine end sensor of the loader does not detect a signal within the specified time limit even though the 
magazine driving motor is operating in reverse and the magazine sensor of the reader detected the magazine 
head.  An A5 error may also be produced when the magazine sensor of the 

IRRADIATOR

 does not detect a signal 

within the specified time limit even though the magazine driving motor is operating.  The usual causes of this type 
of error are something blocking the path of the magazine, failure of either the sensor of the loader or reader, or 
failure of the driving motor.  This error may be corrected by removing any obstacle, and adjusting or replacing the 
faulty components.
