Error message
2244851 The GP is reporting a Gradient Amplifier %c Axis Current Distortion Fault. the same error as 2244577 on 11X, G3, openMR4 and 2244578 on 12X, E2, 14M4 (HDx, HDe), and openMR5. See Long Description 2244851 error code on Post 14M5 and 12.0 M5, is the same error as 2244577 on 11X, G3, openMR4and 2244578 on 12X, E2, 14M4 (HDx, HDe), and openMR5.2244851 The GP is reporting a Gradient Amplifier %c Axis Current Distortion Fault Example error message (could be any gradient axis, Y-axis is shown in this example): Error: 2244851 Host: lx-mr2 Process: NSP File: SCP:Grad Line: 2851 The GP is reporting a Gradient Amplifier Y Axis Current Distortion Fault.-> Extended error message This is a generic fault message indicating that the Gradient Amplifiers are not accurately following the current command from the IPG/SRF. If other faults occurred concurrently, they will provide useful information to assist with troubleshooting. Else, swap the control cable between the GP and the failing Gradient Amplifier with the Gradient Amplifier on another axis (swap one end of the cable only). If the fault moves, replace the Gradient Amplifier or Gradient Amplifier Control Board (board can be swapped with

- SecondOpinion BRM-D 2144093-5 See long description for SMILe on returning BRM's. See comments in resolution concept for second opinion requirements before ordering this part SMILe 2/7/2006 Subject: Failed and unused BRM coils must be returned promptly for evaluation and repair. Effectivity: All Signa 1.5T Horizon, LX, EXCITE and HD MR systems. Problem: Unused BRM's are remaining on site too long which severely limits the availability of FRU BRM coils. The repair facility is able to perform quick evaluations/repair of coils but BRM's must be returned promptly. Resolution: BRM coils should be ordered with no more than a 3-day lead time . Every effort is being made to always have FRU BRM's available but your help is needed. Within 10 days of shipment of the FRU BRM either it or the failed unit must be returned. Any exceptions to this time limit must be cleared through Ramamohan Pai, Global Modality Leader-MR & XR. Email : [email protected] Tel: 1-262-544-3240, Dial Com : 320-3240
