What is Agfa CT error code HC11221?

Takeover module fails to close. It is reported by the MDM (Macrodensitometer) Module on DryStar 5500 and DryStar 5503 CT systems. Severity: Alarm; subsystem: MDM (Macrodensitometer) Module — Takeover Mechanism.

What should a field engineer do about HC11221?

Check the Takeover module and motor M9 for a mechanical obstruction preventing it from closing, and review the related fault that triggered this detection, since the Takeover module has no dedicated close sensor of its own.. Isolate the MDM (Macrodensitometer) Module — Takeover Mechanism subsystem and follow the status-code troubleshooting in the service manual. FSELIB documents the full diagnosis and remedy for the DryStar 5500 / DryStar 5503.

HC11221 — Takeover module fails to close

Agfa CT error code, reported by the MDM (Macrodensitometer) Module.

What HC11221 means

On DryStar 5500 and DryStar 5503 CT systems, status code HC11221 indicates: Takeover module fails to close. The code originates in the MDM (Macrodensitometer) Module — Takeover Mechanism section of the MDM (Macrodensitometer) Module. Severity level alarm (Alarm).

Reported action: Check the Takeover module and motor M9 for a mechanical obstruction preventing it from closing, and review the related fault that triggered this detection, since the Takeover module has no dedicated close sensor of its own..

Raised on the DryStar 5500/5503 when the Takeover module (part of the MDM sheet path, driven by motor M9) fails to close. The Takeover module has no dedicated sensors, so this detection is linked to another malfunction. Filed with the other MDM/densitometer fault codes (HC10200, HC10819-HC10820, HC10904-HC10905, HC10920, HC11005, HC11110-HC11115, HC11124, HC11218-HC11222).
