Error Codes
5B6333 – 30SEP98 3
Section 1: Error Codes
Introduction
All Errors
Important
When you check an electrical component or BOARD, also check all the:
• connections and CABLES for the component or BOARD
• voltages from the POWER SUPPLY for the component or BOARD
Note
PROCESSORS with Serial No. 100500 and above have a 5000 BOARD with replaceable RELAYS K5001 through
K5006. RELAY K5006 is a spare RELAY that can be removed and used to replace RELAYS K5001 - K5005.
Fatal Errors
Overview The software on the 5000 MICROPROCESSOR BOARD controls and monitors the operation
of the PROCESSOR and continually checks for errors. When an error occurs, a description of
the error is displayed on the DISPLAY PANEL.
When 2 or more errors occur together, all the errors are displayed, but only 1 error is visible on
the DISPLAY PANEL at a time. The error with the highest priority is displayed first. You can
scroll through the list to view the other errors.
An error log on the 5000 BOARD records the last 100 errors that have occurred and the
number of times each error has occurred.
3 types of errors can occur:
• Fatal
• Non-Fatal
• Warning
Fatal and
Non-Fatal Errors Only qualified service personnel should repair both fatal and non-fatal errors
• Most fatal errors prevent optimum film processing.
• Most non-fatal errors do not prevent optimum film processing.
IMPORTANT:
When you service a PROCESSOR with a fatal or non-fatal error and you check an electrical
component or BOARD, also check all the:
• connections for the component or BOARD
• voltages from the POWER SUPPLY for the component or BOARD
Warning Errors Operators can repair warning errors. Normally, you can feed film into a PROCESSOR when a
warning error is displayed.
READY LED If any error prevents optimum film processing, the READY LED will de-energize. When the
LED de-energizes, you can feed film into the PROCESSOR but the image quality may not be
correct. Kodak recommends that you do not process film when the LED is de-energized.

Error Codes
5B6333 – 30SEP98 11
Code Description Possible Malfunction Action
E041 Loss of transport speed
control
Note
This error occurs when the
transport speed is adjusted
for 10 seconds and the
speed is not within 7.6 cm/
min (3 in./min) of the
setpoint
When the PROCESSOR operates normally:
• The supply voltage from the QUAD POWER SUPPLY to the + and -
TERMINALS of the DRIVE MOTOR CONTROLLER is 24 V DC.
• NOTE: Voltage can vary significantly from one PROCESSOR to another.
The control voltage at Test Point MOTDRV on the 5000 BOARD is
approximately:
– 1.0 V DC for the Extended Speed
– 1.9 V DC for the Standard Speed
– 2.6 V DC for the Rapid Speed
– 3.4 V DC for the K/RA Speed
• Feedback pulses from the DRIVE MOTOR CONTROLLER at Test Point
MOTFB on the 5000 BOARD indicate the speed of the DRIVE MOTOR.
If the transport operates slower than the set speed, the
MICROPROCESSOR increases the control voltage approximately 25 mV
every second at Test Point MOTDRV on the 5000 BOARD. When the
voltage reaches 5 V DC, the MICROPROCESSOR stops increasing the
voltage.
5000 BOARD If the control voltage is not correct at
Test Point MOTDRV on the 5000
BOARD, install a new BOARD.
