Overview

As an aid to troubleshooting the XRC
This section contains a troubleshooting flowchart (see Figure 75: Troubleshooting flowchart.) Follow the logic in this flowchart to
be directed to specific test instructions in this section. Other flow charts in this section further direct troubleshooting for power
and communication problems. In addition to these flowcharts, this section contains step-by-step instructions for troubleshooting

an XRC with or without an installed radio communication unit.
Troubleshooting support
If troubleshooting instructions do not lead to a resolution and assistance is required, the user can contact the Totalflow Service
Department.

Visual alarm codes
As noted in Section 1, System overview, the LCD annunciator area shows many different status indicators related to device
operations. This section contains information about those codes that reflect errors or provide information useful to
troubleshooting. Alarm codes indicate that an operational problem exists.
The user is informed of operational problems and operational limit violations by observing the alarm codes on the right side of
the LCD display.
SLEEP mode
Totalflow units are designed to go into a low power, SLEEP mode, when an insufficient supply voltage is present for a period of
time. At issue here is locating the reason for the SLEEP alarm, so simply waking up the unit will not suffice. Therefore, issues
relating to the system's power supply should be investigated.
Solar panel
When a solar panel is attached to the XRC
important role, as do proper electrical and cabling techniques. More detailed information about power consumption may be
found at www.abb.com/totalflow.
Communication
Troubleshooting the communications for this unit requires that both pieces of equipment be tested: the XRC
the communication device. This is discussed in more detail in section 5.4.1, Communications overview.
Other communication troubleshooting information is shared in the following categories:
–
RS-232 Communications
