8-4 Chapter 8: Error Messages
Model 801GC, 801GF & 801GX¥Rev. A
Power Fail Message
Whenever the AC power line voltage dips below
the minimum specified, this message is displayed
and the generator’s microprocessor is halted.
If you see this message during normal operation, it
probably indicates that a power sag or short dura-
tion drop-out has occurred. To clear this condition,
cycle the power going to the generator. If the power
is good, the generator should resume normal opera-
tion. If you still have a problem, you may also want
to check to see that the line voltage selector (next to
the power inlet) is set correctly for the power being
fed into the 801GX.
Format Errors
Under normal operating conditions, a properly pro-
grammed model 801GX generator should never re-
port any Format error messages. If you do get get
an error message while loading a format it is for
one of two reasons. The generator distinguishes
between invalid data, entered in one of the program-
ming modes, and corrupted data caused by a memory
failure. In either case, the generator will shut all of
its outputs off. The outputs remain off until a valid
format is loaded.
Invalid Data Error Messages
The example on the left shows a typical invalid data
error message. The top line of the display shows the
format’s storage location number and name. The
bottom line shows the error number. Error numbers
will be in the range of of 2000 through 2999. Differ-
ent numbers indicate what type invalid data or com-
bination of data is causing the error.
The following pages explain the cause of each of
the error numbers and offers suggestions on how to
correct the problem.
