  • Page 2 1. Versions of System Controller There are 3 versions of the System Controller: Mark 1, this has 5 LEDs above the LCD window. It can only support 1 Detector. This can be identified by the fact there are 3 empty ports on the top of the First Fix PCB. These were only made for about a year and if you come across any, it is a good idea to replace them, whether they are faulty or not.
  • Page 3 2. Fault Codes explained: 1. E-00: (Code Green) The System Controller is faulty. There is a comms fault between the Mother and Daughter boards inside the Controller and it will need to be replaced. 2. E-01: (Code Amber) There is a comms failure between the Detector and the Controller. If possible, it is a good idea to work out if the Detector or the Controller is faulty, purely so the engineer does not have to replace the Detector if it is not necessary.
  • Page 4 1. +205 AGC means that the Infra-Red Signal has been dropping and the Detector has boosted the IR Signal +205 times to try and keep the Signal at 100%. The reason for the IR Signal going down could be poor installation (at the Detector or Reflector end) or a large amount of air born contamination for example.
  • Page 5 11. E-12: (Code Red) The reflector(s) may not have been covered when the ‘tick’ button on the Controller was pressed or the Infra-Red Signal may not have dropped low enough. Note: When in ‘Hand’ mode, the signal must drop below 500 when the reflector(s) are blocked. When the reflector(s) are uncovered you should have a value of over 800 but less than 1200 when in ‘Hand’...
  • Page 6 14. E-21: (Code Amber) This error indicates that the power supply to the Controller is too low (typically less than 12V). However, this rarely happens other than when powering down the Controller. The typically scenario is that you have E-21 on the screen but with +24V connected. If this occurs, there is an internal power fault on the Controller and there is nothing that can be done other than replace it (this might also cause E-01 errors to occur to).
