Activate Tune Set Failure

The article addresses the "Activate Tune Set Failure" error on the iCAP PRO, explaining that it occurs when the plasma ignites but the parameters in the Tune Set do not match the set values. It provides steps to resolve the issue by identifying the mismatched readback and investigating potential causes, such as replacing a faulty nebulizer.

Issue

Plasma ignites but then error is displayed that Tune Set failed to Activate

Environment

  • iCAP PRO

Resolution

At the end of the Startup sequence after the plasma has ignited, the parameters in Tune Set are implemented. If any of the readbacks do not match up with the Set Value, the Tune Set will fail to Activate.

Check which readback is not matching up with the Set Value and investigate potential causes.

For example, if the Nebulizer Gas Flow is not matching up with the Set Value, then the nebulizer itself may be potentially at fault and it would be a good idea to install a new Nebulizer and test.
