Avanti J-26 XPI - FRS failure (F1)
We are troubleshooting an FRS failure (F1) on a Beckman Coulter Avanti J-26 XPI.
The unit was operating normally and then suddenly displayed FRS failure (F1). with no relocation or hardware changes beforehand.
As part of diagnostics, we attempted to try service-related key sequences that reference :
( SET / ACTUAL > ACCEL > SET / ACTUAL > DECEL, including inertia . windage-related routines )
However, on the Avanti J-26 XPI control panel, there is no button labeled SET / ACTUAL
Question:
On Avanti J-26 XPI, what is the correct 'SET / ACTUAL' equivalent,
or the correct method to access these service / diagnostic on this panel?

I ran into something similar on an XPI before and the old SET / ACTUAL sequences from earlier Avanti models did not apply directly. On the J 26 XPI most of the service functions are buried in the diagnostics or service menus rather than mapped to front panel button combinations.
If the unit suddenly threw F1 without any hardware changes, I would also check the tach feedback and rotor ID side first. On ours the issue ended up being related to the motor feedback path rather than calibration itself.
