If difficulties or problems are found in operating the system, we suggest consulting the possible causes and simple solutions presented in this unit. If this information is not enough to solve the difficulty, please contact Treetech’s technical assistance or its authorized representative.

1. The BM-HMI displays self-diagnostic messages on its display

Upon detecting a problem, the BM-HMI with actuate its self-diagnostic contact and display an Error screen, showing the code relative to the failure underway. The meaning of failure codes is shown on the following tables, respected the digit of the display where the code is exhibited. In the event of simultaneous failures, the number displayed by a given digit will be the sum of the individual Errors.

Figure 02 - Detailing of self-diagnostic codes MM/IHM

The meanings of fault codes are shown in the following table, respecting the digit of the display in which the code appears. The indicator system of codes are in hexadecimal encoding, in which the allowed character set is S={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F}. Individual errors are indicated by the set M = {1,2,4,8}. If simultaneous failures occur, the indicated number in a given digit will be the sum of the individual errors and is thus indicated by the additional set C = {3,5,6,7,9, A, B, C, D, E, F}. Below is a table with the possible combinations of errors in each digit

1.2. Self-diagnostic indications of the Interface Module - MM

The self-diagnostics present in the BM-MM is divided into 3 groupings, with the first grouping used for identification and the other 2 groupings used for error detailing.

Probable causes and recommended actions:

In general, BM-MM self-diagnostics caused by internal failures and the recommended actions are:  

  1. Reset the BM-HMI by removing and reconnecting the power supply.
  2. If the above action does not clear the diagnostic indication or this happens again after a while, contact Treetech technical support.

Exceptions:

For 0800 self-diagnostics - Phase sequence error:

Probable cause:

Bushings connected to the Measurement Module - BM-MM does not correspond to phases A, B, and C of that three-phase set.

Recommended actions:

Check the connection cables between TAP Adapters and BM-MM Measurement Modules. Each BM-MM Measurement Module must be connected to the TAPs for each of the three bushings in the three-phase set.

The tables below contain descriptions of the BM-MM self-diagnostics.
