web browser and see what faults have occurred and in what order. If you are not
familiar with web browser navigation, refer to Section 3.1 Transmitter Control and to
6.2 Web Browser Fault Log below.
The fault log on the LCD (in Status menu) will also give detailed fault information but
is smaller and will take longer to read, as it only shows 4 faults per page. If the fault
information is more than 11 characters, the description will be truncated. If this occurs
refer to the web browser for complete fault description. Fault log information is stored
on EEPROM, thus it will be retained if power is cycled.
6.2 Web Browser Fault Log
The web browser allows access to listings of any faults or warnings that have occurred.
The VAX-C fault log is accessed by pressing the Fault Log soft button on the right side
of the VAX-C Exciter Home screen. This will bring up the VAX-C Fault Log - All
Faults screen. The fault logs give the following information:
a. Order - The VAX-C fault log stores up to 500 entries, after which, faults are
deleted on a FIFO basis. The last fifty faults can be viewed in the VAX-C fault
log. The entire fault log including older faults can be viewed or exported via the
web browser by navigating to the VAX-C Status screen and pressing Export Flt-
Log.
b. Set - Time (24 hour format) and date (month, day, year) that the fault occurred.
c. Clear - Time and date that the fault was cleared. If the fault is still active, the Clear
field will be blank.
d. Name - Name and description of the fault.
The Fault Log is color coded as follows:
• Grey – Inactive Faults/Warnings
• Yellow – Active Warnings
• Red – Active Faults
Function Buttons:
a. Reset Log (VAX-C) - Erases all inactive faults in the log.
b. Active Faults (VAX-C) - Lists only active faults.
