Hardware Shutdown: Over Voltage

Hardware Shutdown: Over Current

Malfunction

Explanation

Action

Unrecoverable

Current flow to the four return pads differs. Or External RF source (e.g. ESU in use)

Discontinue use of ESU generator. Check pad position. Cycle AC Power Off/ On. If problem persists, contact BSC service.

Unrecoverable

RF voltage in excess of the hardware limit was detected. This may possibly result from a very rapid impedance increase (e.g. and open circuit).

Check pads and electrode. Discontinue use of ESU generator. Cycle AC Power Off/On. If problem persists, contact BSC service.

Unrecoverable

RF current in excess of the hardware limit was detected. This may possibly result from Check for possible short circuit. Cycle a very rapid impedance decrease (e.g. a AC Power Off/On. If problem persists, short circuit). External RF source (e.g. ESU in contact BSC service. use) or low impedance. Cycle AC Power Off/On. If problem persists, contact BSC service.

E83

Hardware Shutdown: Over Power

Unrecoverable

RF power in excess of the hardware limit was detected. This may possibly result from a very rapid impedance decrease. External RF source (e.g. ESU in use) or impedance decreased rapidly and power exceeded limit.

E84

Hardware Shutdown: Multiple

Unrecoverable

More than one of the conditions for E81-E83 occurred. Impedance may have decreased enough to allow Power to rise above limit.

Cycle AC Power Off/On. If problem persists, contact BSC service.

E85

Reference Voltage Error

Unrecoverable

May occur when generator is very cold.

Allow generator to warm to room temperature. Cycle AC Power Off/On. If problem persists, contact BSC service.

E86

Power Offset Error

Unrecoverable

May occur when generator is very cold.

Allow generator to warm to room temperature. Cycle AC Power Off/On. If problem persists, contact BSC service.

E87

High Voltage Measured

Unrecoverable

Sudden open circuit. E01, E02 or E03 usually occur first and suppresses the display of E87.

Check for possible open circuit. Cycle AC Power Off/On. If problem persists, contact BSC service.

E88

High Current Measured

Unrecoverable

Sudden decrease in impedance.

Check electrode, pads and connections. Cycle AC Power Off/On. If problem persists, contact BSC service.

Sudden decrease in impedance after setting a high power level. Or: While impedance is rapidly rising, the operator is pressing the DECR PWR button.

Cycle AC Power Off/On. If problem persists, contact BSC service.
