rOME

Keypad ROM Trip

Schneider Electric · Altistart 22 Soft Starter

What does rOME mean?

A fault has been detected in the keypad's Read-Only Memory (ROM), which stores the keypad's firmware and essential data. This indicates an internal hardware failure within the keypad itself.

Common Causes

  • Internal hardware failure of the keypad's Read-Only Memory (ROM) chip.
  • Data corruption within the ROM due to electrical transients, aging, or manufacturing defect.
  • Keypad exposed to extreme temperature or humidity causing component degradation.
  • Firmware update failure or incomplete flash, leading to corrupted ROM data.

  2. 2

    2. Disconnect and reconnect the keypad communication cable to ensure a solid electrical connection and re-initialization.

  3. 3

    3. Attempt to re-initialize or factory reset the keypad (if such a function exists) following the manufacturer's procedure.
