3. Because there are no status codes in the table that match this number you will need to break down this number further So convert COO to a decimal number From the table you see that C is 12 which converts C00 to 1200 In the 100 s place of the table there are only two status codes that when added together will amount to 1200 400 Ambient Sensor Out of Range and 800 Filter or Compartment Temp Sensor Out of Range These are two more of the status codes that the unit is displaying in its original status code Now subtract C00 from 20C00 20C00 C00 and you are left with 20 000 2 24 PM25 Section 1 Revision 2011 January 1 2011 Page 27 of 30 APPENDIX B Deciphering Hexadecimal Status Codes Cont 6 In the 10 000 s place of the Status Code table the status code 20000 Coeff of Variation for Flow 1 Too High matches the 20 000 status code This is the last status code that the unit is displaying in its original status code Therefore the downloaded status code 20C30 breaks down into the following status codes according to the Status Code table 10 Flow 1 Out of Range 20 Flow 2 Out of Range 400 Ambient Sensor Out of Range 800 Filter or Compartment Temp Sensor Out of Range 20000 Coeff of Variation for Flow 1 Too High Example 2 Decipher the following downloaded status code 70B002 1 First look at the Status
