190-00607-06 Rev D10GMX 200 Safety Monitor CodesThe GMX 200 is designed to detect anomalies and unexpected operationaland data events. When an anomaly or event occurs, the unit assumes the situ-ation is unrecoverable and continued unit operation is ill-advisable. Regardlessof the code, neither the unit nor operator has enough information to identify thesource and resolve the problem. To avoid the possibility of displaying mislead-ing data, the unit reboots itself to restore normal operations.When an event occurs, the unit identifies the section of the software wherethe problem was detected. A code is displayed on the error screen before the re-boot and in the MSG function after the reboot. Codes are organized by subsys-tem and functional block. See the table below for the list of codes. Error codesinclude four digits. The first two identify the function or software section thatdetected the error. The last two digits indicate a specific line or software instruc-tion. The error code is an indication where the error was detected. However, inmost cases it is not where the error occurred.If the error code condition clears and does not return after resetting theunit, it can be assumed that the condition causing the code was temporary andthe unit will continue to function properly. If the condition causing the eventpersists, the unit will detect the event and issue another reboot along with acode, typically the same code. This will continue until the unit is turned off orthe condition causing the event is resolved.Repeated occurrences of the same code indicate there may be a problemwith the installation, with a sensor providing data to the GMX 200, or withinthe GMX 200. This situation should be analyzed in order to determine theroot cause of the problem. Should a code be displayed twice within a shortamount of time, please record the four-digit code if practical along with anyother symptoms or information, and report the event to your Garmin technicalsupport representative for further analysis. The GMX 200 also records log fileson the SD card. A copy of these files should also be provided to Garmin to helpinvestigate the problem.Operational ResponseCodes are not indicators that provide specific operational guidance (i.e., goor no-go). There is no specific action to be taken by the flight crew based on thedisplayed code. Codes are an indication that the unit may have received unex-pected data, had a problem processing the received data, or other difficulty.The following are recommended actions based on the current situation:Pre-Flight and Post-FlightIf a code appears, the pilot should let the unit reboot. If the problem doesnot reappear, the operation may proceed. If the code continues to appear mul-tiple times, the pilot should have the problem investigated by a mechanic. Re-peated problems must be reported to Garmin technical support representativealong with the code number and logfile(s).During FlightIf a code appears, the pilot should let the unit reboot. If the problem doesnot reappear, the flight may continue. If the code continues to appear multipletimes, the flight may continue at the pilot’s discretion. The pilot has the optionto turn the unit off. Repeated problems must be reported to Garmin technicalsupport representative along with the code number and logfile(s).Code Subsystem0xx Safety Monitor1xx Startup2xx GPS3xx UAT4xx Altitude5xx General Drawing6xx WX 500 (StrikeFinder)7xx SL308xx Ryan TCAD9xx Radar10xx Radar11xx Traffic (Skywatch, IHAS, GTX)12xx WSI13xx TAWS14xx GDL 6915xx Basemap16xx Display Head17xx Option Menu18xx Annunciation Flags19xx GAMA 42945xx Weather (UAT/WSI)46xx GPS47xx Message48xx GDL 6949xx GDL 69 Weather50xx Traffic51xx Radar/TAWS52xx IO53xx IO54xx IO55xx Charts (Jepp)56xx General Drawing57xx GDL 69 Audio58xx GDL 69 Audio59xx Traffic60xx Airports61xx Airspace62xx General Drawing63xx General Function Drawing64xx Charts65xx Terrain66xx Echo Tops (WSI)67xx Weather (UAT/WSI)68xx Flight Plan69xx Option Menu70xx Graphical METAR (UAT/WSI)71xx Basemap72xx IFR Map Function73xx Intersections74xx Lat/Lon Lines75xx Basemap76xx Custom Map Function77xx Message Function78xx Navaids79xx NDBs80xx Obstructions81xx Baro Correction popup82xx GDL 90 Code Edit83xx Radar84xx VFR Function85xx Traffic86xx Smart Key/Soft Key Menu87xx Split Screen Function88xx Lightning Function89xx TAWS Function90xx TFR (WSI)91xx VOR Drawing92xx Warning Areas (WSI)93xx FIS Function (GDL 69)94xx TAFS (WSI)95xx Option Menu96xx Configuration Module98xx Startup tasks99xx Traffic Subsystem
