1/ AFTER-SALES SUPPORT
1.1/ Service Request
How to proceed when requiring After-Sales-Support for Amesys/Ben equipments :
- Try to obtain a full description of symptoms regarding the faulty unit
- Perform, or have performed, the simple test procedure described in the relevant form
(refer to page 4)
- Fax the filled-out "request for after-sales support form" to Amesys/BEN.
- Once we receive your fax, we will respond with :
♦ Cause of failure, if assessable based on your initial information, or instruction for further
testing.
♦ Service instructions if repairs can be performed outside our factory. Labour is not covered
in this case. Spares are supplied free-of-charge ex-works Marseille, if unit is still under
warranty. If no longer under warranty, spares are invoiced on spare parts price list basis.
♦ If repair is not possible outside our factory or if further investigation is necessary in house,
we will ask you to return unit to us for additional testing.

2/ TYPE OF MALFUNCTION
2.1/ Error Messages List
Any possible fault of log is detected by a permanent self test and displayed on the 2 x 16-digit
lines LCD screen (located on the right hand side of the Calypso).
Possible error messages are :
Measure fault :
This message appears in the event of a faulty analog component, or when sensor is out of
water (refer to page 6).
Defect Liaison Log :
This message appears after a transmission fault between the display board and the measuring
board (refer to page 7).
Transmis. Fault :
This message appears when there is no signal in log frequency input. Check main cabinet
connections (27 & 28) and transmitter connections (1 & 2).
Sensor current :
This message appears when there is no more current on sensor. Check the sensor (inductor)
connections (refer to § sensor checking procedure 11 & 12).
2.2/ Possible other defects
- Log displays systematically “0 knots” (refer to page 8)

- Log displays fluctuating speed (refer to page 9)
- Log displays lower speeds (refer to page 10)
