IF Error +3052, " Self test failed. Test info in FIFO" is returned. A FIFO value
–
of 1 through 99 is a failed test number. A value of 100 through 163 is a channel
number for the failed test. A value of 200 through 204 is an A/D range number
for the failed test where 200 = .0625, 201 = .25V, 202 = 1V, 203 = 4V, and
204 = 16V ranges. For example
108. This indicates that test number 72 failed on channel 8.
Test numbers 20, 30-37, 72, 74-76, and 80-93 may indicate a problem with a
–
Signal Conditioning Plug-on.
For tests 20, and 30-37, remove all SCPs and see if
–
SCPs one at a time until you find the one causing the problem.
For tests 72, 74-76, and 80-93, try to re-seat the SCP that the channel number(s)
–
points to, or move the SCP and see if the failure(s) follow the SCP. If the
problems move with the SCP, replace the SCP.
These are the only tests where the user should troubleshoot a problem. Other
–
tests which fail should be referred to qualified repair personnel.
