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:

  1. Inspect the status indicator on the fire extinguishing unit.

  2. Verify extinguishing agent level and system pressure.

  3. Check power supply and fuses.

  4. Inspect signal wiring to the CNC.

  5. 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.
