4      START-UP – TESTS

As soon as the alarm unit is powered, it begins a test of its alarming devices 

(LED and buzzer)

l

Test of all sensors connection 

(short circuit and broken cable of measuring loops).

l

Detection of sensor type

, if the result is positive, the corresponding LED will light on. 

In case of a defect detected, the 3 LED, corresponding to this input, will be flashing. 
For a non connected channel, the 3 LED keep OFF. 

During the first start-up, the alarm device NivOil memorizes the type of sensor connected
to each chan-nel. 

l

When the TEST mode is activated, an audible signal occurs if everything is correct. 

The factory settings are:

"without sensors" 

l

When you connect a new sensor on a free channel, the alarm device NivOil will identify and

memorize it as soon as you switch on the power. 

If a sensor is removed, the corresponding 3 LED will be flashing (defect alarm). 

Proceed to a reset, pressing the 

RESET

button at least 

5 seconds

to confirm the removal of the

sensor. 

l

When a sensor is removed without a complete RESET, then all the LED will be flashing to alarm

of this error status. 

4°) Connect back

the ribbon cable and close
the cabinet
