HNDL CAL ERR 1 - Drive-handle zero point out of range
Question
What does HNDL CAL ERR 1 mean on a GE AMX-Series mobile X-ray?
Short Answer
HNDL CAL ERR 1: Drive-handle zero point out of range.
Possible Causes
Drive handle zero-point value is outside expected range.
Troubleshooting Steps
Recalibrate drive handle and inspect Hall-effect transducers/supply.

Error Code System Message
HNDL CAL ERR 1-4 / ERROR 218
Question
How do I troubleshoot an AMX-Series drive-handle calibration error?
Short Answer
Handle errors indicate the zero, forward, reverse, or handle-check signals are outside expected calibration limits.
Possible Causes
Misadjusted Hall sensors; handle transducer supply/reference issue; failed handle calibration.
Troubleshooting Steps
Run drive-handle calibration, verify Hall-sensor voltages and handle-check signal, and inspect the handle transducer circuitry before replacing the drive controller.
Parts Areas to Check
Handle Hall sensors; CPU inputs; drive handle assembly

Intermittent error history
Error Code System Message
Question
How does the AMX-Series store recent error history?
Short Answer
The diagnostics firmware stores error codes in a circular buffer and maintains a histogram of error occurrences to support intermittent-fault troubleshooting.
Possible Causes
Intermittent or recurring application faults.
Troubleshooting Steps
Review recent codes and repeated counts before replacing parts. Correlate the error history with operator-reported conditions and the current symptom.
Parts Areas to Check
CPU non-volatile RAM; error log
