HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT WELCHALLYN 690&692 - DIGITAL THERMOMETER - ERROR CODES



ERROR CODES
E0.1à  Excessive Heater Energy Try another predict cycle. If the problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.2 à  A/D Measurement out of range error.  Make sure the temperature is within the operating range of 50ºF/10ºC and 104ºF/40ºC  If the problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.4 à Probe Over Temperature (110ºF/43.3ºC).  Make sure the tip temperature is below 110ºF/43.3ºC.  If the problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.5 à  No Probe Temperature Rise. (The heater has no effect.).  Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.6 à Probe EEPROM read failure. (Bad EEPROM handshake.).  Verify the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists replace the probe.
E0.7 à Probe EEPROM is un-initialized.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists replace the probe.
E0.8 à EEPROM CRC Failure (EEPROM is corrupted.).  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E0.9 à Bad probe calibration. Replace with a calibrated probe.
E4.0 à  PTB measurement out of range.  Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.1 à RCAL measurement out of range.  Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.2 à Reference power supply malfunction.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.3 à Device EEPROM save failure.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.4 à Device EEPROM starting handshake failure.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.5 à Device EEPROM response failure.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.6 à Transmit failure to the Device EEPROM.  Verify that the batteries are fresh.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.7 à Can’t initialize the device EEPROM.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E4.8 à Device was not calibrated Replace the device with a calibrated device.
E5.0 à Heater is not working properly.  Try another cycle. If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
E5.2 à Heater fail-safe failure. Contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.

23 à Host Interface Error Try another predict cycle. If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
26 à Invalid SureTemp mode Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
29 à Battery Voltage Is Not Set Try another predict cycle. If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
30 à Prediction mode Is Not Set Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
71 à Device EEPROM acquire failure.  Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
72 à Device EEPROM release failure.  Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
73 à DEVICES EEPROM invalid pointer failure.  Try another predict cycle.  If the problem persists contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
b^ à Battery voltage too high. Replace the batteries with batteries that provide less then 5.50 volts to the SureTemp Plus.
bv à Battery voltage too low. Replace the batteries with new batteries.  If problem does not go away and the batteries are known as good (>= 3.1 volts applied) contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
A^! à Ambient temperature too high.  Move into an area where the temperature is between 50ºF/10ºC and 110ºF/43.3ºC and allow the thermometer to stabilize to ambient temperature.  If problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
Av! à Ambient temperature too low.  Move into an area where the temperature is between 50ºF/10ºC and 110ºF/43.3ºC.  If the problem persists replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.  Patient Temperature out of range. < 80ºF/26.7ºC or > 110ºF/43.3ºC.  Make sure the probe is positioned properly within the patient body site, with good tissue contact, and/or verify the patient's temperature is in the range.  Try another temperature cycle with the probe positioned properly.  If the problem persists, replace the probe or contact Welch Allyn Customer Care.
Instrument Errors
Instrument Circuitry errors are generated from internal test failures. Instrument errors are displayed as an instrument with an X through it and an error code in the temperature field. In most cases this will represent a broken instrument that needs replacing and the code will tell what error was detected.
Probe Errors
The probe or probe connector can generate errors. Probe errors are displayed as a probe with an X through it and an error code in the temperature field. In most cases this will represent a broken probe that needs replacing and the code will tell what error was detected.  Temperature measuring is prohibited until the error is cleared.
Patient Temperature Out of Range
Patient Temperature Out of Range errors occur when the patient temperature is above 110.0° F or below 80.0° F. During this error, the entire body (head, torso, and legs) displays by blinking with a solid up or down arrow and a thermometer bulb.
Ambient Temperature Out of Range
Ambient Temperature errors occur when the ambient probe temperature is above 104.0° F or below 50.0° F. During an ambient temperature error, the display in the temperature number field shows a capital “A” followed by a blinking up or down arrow and a blinking thermometer bulb.
