4.3 Quick Start
When power is first applied to a new receiver, it will be initiated with no CHANNEL configuration. Once CHANNEL
and SENSOR configuration information has been entered using the SETUP menu (refer to section 4.3.3), the
instrument will pass through two phases:
•
40-second ID check
•
10-minute Warm-up
The start-up sequence is shown diagrammatically in Figure 4-3.
NOTE
If the instrument was purchased with sensors calibrated DO NOT RECONFIGURE,
the CALIBRATION WILL BE LOST
No CHANNEL Configuration:
When the receiver is activated
for the first time
, it will function according to the “default parameters” shown in
section 4.3.3.1. Since all SENSOR TYPE settings default to OFF, OFF will be indicated on the 4-channel summary
display until a channel is activated by selecting a sensor type
(refer to section 4.4.2.2.2).
NOTE
Be careful not to press the
ENTER
key twice when selecting the SENSOR TYPE since this will
cause alarms to activate if the unit contains the SENSOR CHECK option.
40-SECOND ID CHECK
:
After a CHANNEL has been configured or if the receiver is powered-up with a configured CHANNEL, the channel
will enter the ID CHECK phase. This will last 40 seconds and determine the type of sensor connected to the
CHANNEL.
If the check
does not pass,
the error
BAD ID
will flash on the display until the problem is remedied.
THE CHANNEL
REMAINS INACTIVE
until this problem is fixed. When fixed, the unit will require either that power be reapplied
or that the SENSOR TYPE be re-configured to OFF and then back to ON. Refer to section 7.0-MAINTENANCE for
troubleshooting information.
If the sensor type has been configured with an optional gas generator, a
BAD GEN
message may be indicated
on the display, this is because the receiver had detected a signal from the sensor that says that its optional gas
generator needs service. The CHANNEL can still be used because this error will reset itself when the CHANNEL
leaves the WARMUP phase (10 minutes later).
10-MINUTE WARMUP:
After successfully getting through the ID CHECK phase, the CHANNEL enters the WARMUP phase. This is a ten-
minute time period where the sensor and its electronics stabilizes.
Once the unit has successfully completed the start-up phases, the unit enters the normal RUN mode. While the
SETUP menu may be accessed for configuration during the ID CHECK and WARMUP phases, the user
should
not try
to run CALIBRATION or SENSOR CHECK since they will not run immediately. If initiated at this time, these
routines will remain “on hold” until the unit enters the normal RUN mode and then activate in an unplanned manner.
