Okuma Alarm A-8645 – Fire Extinguishing Unit Error
Alarm A-8645 indicates that the fire extinguishing unit has reported a fault condition.
This alarm is triggered when the fire protection system detects an internal error or an abnormal operating state. The CNC receives a fault signal from the extinguishing unit and may restrict machine operation for safety reasons.
Typical causes include:
-
Empty extinguishing agent cartridge
-
Low pressure in the suppression system
-
Faulty pressure sensor
-
Internal control error in the fire unit
-
Power supply instability
-
Wiring or signal failure between the fire unit and CNC
Unlike A-8646 (power OFF), this alarm usually means the unit is powered but reporting a malfunction.
Recommended checks:
-
Inspect the status indicator on the fire extinguishing unit.
-
Verify extinguishing agent level and system pressure.
-
Check power supply and fuses.
-
Inspect signal wiring to the CNC.
-
Reset the fire suppression unit if applicable.
Because this is a safety-related system, the machine may not allow automatic operation until the issue is resolved.
