3-2 Troubleshooting and Error Codes
Electrostatic Discharge 
Precautions
Electrostatic Discharge generated by static electricity can damage the 
complimentary metallic oxide semiconductor devices on various drive 
boards. It is recommended that you perform these procedures to guard 
against this type of damage when circuit boards are removed or installed.
• Wear a wrist type grounding strap that is grounded to the chassis.
• Attach the wrist strap before removing the new circuit board from the 
conductive packet.
• Remove boards from the drive and immediately insert them into their 
conductive packets.
Fault Descriptions
Fault Display
The LCD display is used to indicate a fault by showing a brief text 
statement relating to the fault as shown in the following figure. The fault 
will be displayed until “Clear Faults” is initiated or drive power is cycled. A 
Series A (version 3.0) or Series B & up HIM will display a fault when it 
occurs, no matter what state the display is in. In addition, a listing of past 
faults can be displayed by selecting “Fault queue” from the Control Status 
menu (See Chapter 3 of the 1336 PLUS II user manual for more 
information). Refer to Table 3.A for a listing and description of the various 
faults.

Clearing a Fault
When a fault occurs, the cause must be corrected before the fault can be 
cleared. After corrective action has been taken, simply cycling drive power 
will clear the fault. Issuing a valid Stop command from the HIM or Control 
Interface option (TB3) will also clear a fault if the {Flt Clear Mode] 
parameter is set to “Enabled”. In addition, a “Clear Faults” command can be 
issued anytime from a serial device (if connected).

ATTENTION: 
This assembly contains parts and 
sub-assemblies that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Static 
control precautions are required when servicing this assembly. 
Component damage may result if you ignore electrostatic 
discharge control procedures. If you are not familiar with static 
control procedures, reference Allen-Bradley Publication 
8000-4.5.2, Guarding Against Electrostatic Discharge, or any 
other applicable ESD protection handbook.
