Error Codes-Trouble Shooting

Trouble Shooting Aids

The information in this section may help a service technician isolate possible software or circuit problems. It consists of the self-diagnostic error codes. If an instrument cannot be isolated and repaired, contact the local Physio-Control representative.

Error Codes and SERVICE Indicator

The LIFEPAK 9 defibrillator/monitor contains self–diagnostic software. When a problem is detected during operation, the SERVICE message is displayed on the monitor. For many problems, an error code is generated and displayed in the Info Menu.

To access the Info Menu, turn power off, then press ON while pressing and holding down LEAD SELECT and SYNC until the Test Menu is displayed. Press ECG SIZE to scroll down to INFO, then press SYNC to display the Info Menu. The error code number is listed beside FAULT STATUS. Refer to Table 3–9 for the software or circuit associated with each error code.

To remove or "clear" an error code, press SYNC to scroll down to RETAIN (or CLEAR), then press ECG SIZE to CLEAR the error. If more than one error code has been generated, the next error code will be displayed in sequence. After all error codes are cleared (and the FAULT STATUS displays 00), press LEAD SELECT to exit the Info Menu and return to the Test Menu. Press ECG SIZE to scroll down to EXIT, then press SYNC to resume normal operation.

After the error code is cleared, the SERVICE message is removed from the display. If, however, a software or circuit problem still exists or reoccurs, the SERVICE message is again displayed. Contact a Physio-Control Customer service specialist at 1–800 1112–1142.
