The Fault Code is the Left 2 digits of the Fault Table Value when viewed in Hexadecimal For example if the Fault Code Value was 0312H then the Fault Code is 03 Compare the value in the Fault Code Value with the chart below to determine what the fault was The Fault Codes below are in Hexadecimal The Fault Log Version 2 uses two registers to record the Fault Code Time Stamp and a Status Code that indicates the status of the elevator at the time of the fault The codes are examined in the same way as described below with the Fault Code in the odd numbered registers and the associated Status Code in the next even numbered register The Fault Log instruction sheet for the correct version installed in the controller is part of the schematic 8 4 1 Examining the Fault Table with a GE Hand held Programmer 1 Plug in the Hand held programmer into the port on the 9030 Power Supply It is usually best to do this with the POWER OFF The Programmer will perform a self test when _ 1 PROGRAM 2 DATA power is applied then it will show the Main Menu 2 Press ENT to go to the Data Sub menu 3 Press R or 0 0 to show the status of Register R400 This is the Time Stamp Register and it shows the current time The number increments every 6 minutes Revision A Fault Logging incremented every 1 hour Use this value to compare with the fault codes to determine when the fault occurred 4 Display the value in HEXADECIMAL
