# Industrial Specification: Error Locator

## 1. Technical Definition
A component within an Error Correction Unit that identifies and pinpoints the location of errors or faults in a system or process.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-5.0 VDC input signal range, 4-20 mA output current range**. Failure boundary: **Input signal threshold: &lt;0.05 VDC or &gt;5.5 VDC sustained for &gt;100 ms, Output current: &lt;3.6 mA or &gt;22 mA sustained for &gt;50 ms**, Mechanism: **Semiconductor junction breakdown at &gt;5.5 VDC input causing thermal runaway, Hall effect sensor saturation beyond 5.0 VDC input leading to magnetic domain locking**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Combined Measurement Uncertainty**:

> **Primary Equation**: $u_c = \sqrt{\sum u_i^2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Defines the precision confidence interval for inspection.
