#4 System Health Verification 

 
As soon as power is applied to the CO unit (and the RT unit 
if locally powered), the system automatically starts up.  The 
front panel indicators show the status of the system (see 
Figure 3 and Table 4).  If any of the LED’s is not Normal, 
AktinoView can be used to determine the source of the 
problem. 

 

AktinoView main status screen shows an overview of the 
system.  Performance monitoring for DS3, MSPAN, and 
PAIRS is available through the menu tabs.  Current system 
alarms (see Table 3) are displayed on the main status screen.  
Alarm history and logs are available through the menu tabs.
