4.5.1.4 Diagnostic Error Messages
Recorders with displays run background tests as described in Section 8 – Troubleshooting and Pen
Alignment of Recorders with Display to verify data and memory integrity. If there is a malfunction, an error
message will blink in the lower display. If more than one self-diagnostic test fails, the display will cycle
through the appropriate error messages.
A list of background test error messages is in Table 4-28.
If any of these error messages are displayed, refer to Section 8 for information on correcting the problem.
In addition, an error message will be displayed if the operator tries to run a setpoint program in which the
number of the ending segment is lower than the segment number of the start segment. See Appendix C for
details.
