Introduction; General System Problems - Honeywell Vertex M Technical Handbook

6.1 Introduction

This chapter helps you determine the source of Vertex
M System fault or failure and provides you with a
corrective action. There are three general indications
that service or maintenance is necessary:
• General failure to operate properly. See
Section 6.2 General System
• Maintenance faults. See
Maintenance Faults.
• Instrument faults. See
Faults.
Maintenance and instrument faults are Vertex M
System self-diagnostic messages. They alert you to
operation abnormalities by displaying a message with
a brief description. The Vertex M System also stores
the faults in the event history list.
Also included in this chapter are information events
which are records of non-fault activities that may aid in
troubleshooting. See
Information events include:
• Maintenance activities
• Alarm simulations
• User log in and log out
• Configuration changes
If a fault or failure does not appear in the troubleshooting
chart, or if you require further assistance, call
Honeywell Analytics Service. Provide the maintenance
or instrument fault code number when calling.
In the event of a DAq failure See
replacement Vertex M Analyzers are purchased without
specifying the LIT option, no faults will be generated
for the lack of the option in the new analyzer. However,
an "INFO" message will be logged in the Event History
each time the LIT option is invoked. Existing analyzers
