182829 — Remote Tilt button flashes and the gantry will not tilt (ETC I/F fault)
GE Healthcare CT error code, reported by the GE LightSpeed CT platform.
What 182829 means
On LightSpeed Plus and LightSpeed QX/i and LightSpeed Ultra and LightSpeed 16 and HiSpeed QX/i CT systems, status code 182829 indicates: Remote Tilt button flashes and the gantry will not tilt (ETC I/F fault). The code originates in the LS2002 Software section of the GE LightSpeed CT platform. Severity level error (Error condition).
Reported action: Before swapping the ETC I/F board, check whether something — a log book, tray, etc. — is resting on the Remote Tilt button on top of the SCIM, since sustained pressure alone trips this fault. Clear it with a 120V power cycle via the PDU Auxiliary Gantry Power Switch or the board's reset button, followed by a scan hardware reset; see the manual for the full sequence..
Raised on LightSpeed 2.x/3.x/4.x (and HiSpeed QXi) systems running LS2002 software when the Prescribed/Remote Tilt button keeps flashing and the gantry will not tilt, because the ETC I/F (TNC) board firmware has latched a fault from the button being held or partially depressed for more than a second.
