I did not find a direct link to error code 2295 in the look-up tables in the firmware source code. I'll try to assume that this error is some kind of "unexpected exception".
Didn't think that's even possible...
I'm wondering:
- If maybe they added some error codes to a very recent version of the firmware (and maybe service manual, via an addendum, for instance).
- If the firmware in memory is corrupt and a truncated code is being thrown out.
The second above is not very likely, because the instrument is working reasonably well other than that error.
In any case, the error # suggests a "DC Voltage Test" fault. If I'm going by the nearest code (2293), it seems to indicate drift. Given this was due for calibration in 2002 (in software) or 2006 (by sticker -
- it may have accrued plenty of drift. Why the software reports an earlier date than the sticker is a mystery in its own right. Maybe the last cal was not registered in software? That seems highly suspicious to me.
I'm currently "baking" this out for a bit and will see if the error persists after, say, 48 or 72hrs.
Per xdevs article -
https://xdevs.com/fix/d1281/ - a recap fixed some issues with two units, which is obviously a pretty clear no brainer given the age of the unit, so that's something else I may want to try. I wish it was as easy to work on as the Prema 6048, but the boards are sandwiched in parallel so they need to come off to be worked on.
