Question
Which wireless detector diagnostics are available on XR220amx and digitally upgraded XR200amx?
Short Answer
Wireless diagnostics include Wireless Comm, Signal Strength, Battery Health, BIST, Ping, Ethernet Stats, temperature and detector power-supply tests.
Possible Causes
UWB authentication/signal problem; detector battery condition; detector internal fault; data-transfer issue.
Troubleshooting Steps
Use Wireless Comm to identify the connection stage and signal condition. Check Battery Health, then BIST and Ping. Run Ethernet Stats for transfer problems.

Detector keep losing its wireless AP connection
Error Code System Message
Question
Why does my XR240amx detector keep losing its wireless AP connection?
Short Answer
Check country/channel compatibility, AP power, detector distance, signal quality, and whether the detector received a valid IP address.
Possible Causes
Country/channel mismatch; loss of AP 12 VDC; detector out of range; low signal; heavy interference; invalid detector IP.
Troubleshooting Steps
Verify country configuration and AP power. Move the detector closer to the system/AP. Review connected clients and detector IP assignment. Reboot detector and system after correcting configuration or power issues.

Errors 0403 or 0413
Error Code System Message
Question
What does XR240amx generator error 0403 or 0413 mean?
Short Answer
These generator errors indicate overcurrent detected on the rotation phases.
Possible Causes
Rotor circuit fault; tube stator/wiring issue; Main Auxiliary module issue.
Troubleshooting Steps
Run the Tube Rotor Impedance diagnostic and applicable stator resistance checks. If tube stator resistance is incorrect, the manual directs replacement of the tube; if resistance is correct, inspect rotor harness wiring and Main Auxiliary circuitry.

mA measurement lower than expected
Error Code System Message
Question
How do I troubleshoot XR240amx mA measurement lower than expected?
Short Answer
The manual recommends performing a new filament calibration first and then continuing with filament-driver diagnostics if the error persists.
Possible Causes
Filament calibration/aging; filament driver issue; measurement path issue; tube issue.
Troubleshooting Steps
Run Filament Drive Calibration. During calibration, some low/high mA messages can occur and may be acceptable if calibration completes successfully. If the problem persists afterward, follow the filament driver and mA measurement diagnostic sequence.

Error Number
Access point boot failed
Error Code System Message
Question
What should I do when the XR240amx says “Access point boot failed”?
Short Answer
Allow the AP boot attempt to finish; if it fails, the manual says to reboot and then verify country configuration, AP connections, power, and firmware.
Possible Causes
AP not finished booting; country configuration issue; Ethernet/power connection problem; AP hardware fault.
Troubleshooting Steps
Wait up to about five minutes for AP boot. If the boot failure message appears, reboot the system. Recommit country configuration, inspect AP Ethernet and power connections, and continue AP diagnostics if failure returns.
