Display
The control panel includes a 2-line, 40-character display. Displayed
information falls into six general categories:
•
State screens
•
Alarm screens
•
Operator information screens
•
VALVE key displays
•
CHANGE MODE key displays
•
MENU ON/OFF key displays
State screens: Indicate the current state of the Spectra system. (A state is
one of many individual steps that the Spectra system performs to
complete each mode of operation.) The step determines the pump flow
rates, centrifuge speed, valve positions, enabled alarms, and display
screens. The screen explains what action the system performs, or
prompts you to take a specific action or make a selection from a menu.
The current mode of operation or a procedure abbreviation appears in
the lower right-hand corner of the screen. A list of these abbreviations
follows this section.
Alarm screens: Identify the source of an alarm and prompt you with the
action to take to clear the alarm condition. When there is more than one
alarm, the highest priority alarm screen appears first and has an asterisk
(*) in the lower right-hand corner. This indicates there are more alarms
than the one that currently appears. Press
CLEAR to temporarily view
the lower-priority alarm(s). The highest-priority alarm reappears after
30 seconds or when you press
ENTER . For additional information on
Spectra alarms and the actions to take in response to those alarms, see
Chapter 12, “General Alarms and Troubleshooting,” or the alarms and
troubleshooting sections in the procedural guides.
