SELF TEST
Every time the PD 6500
i
is turned on, a self-test occurs. To safeguard
against non-critical failures, after unit is initially turned on, user should perform
a manual self-test by pressing the self-test touchpad again. The unit will
initiate a self-test that will report the results on the LCD screen. Should the
self-test reveal a problem, a "failure" message will appear (e.g., SYNC FAIL).
(Refer to Table 5.4 for a list of possible failures and remedies). The self-test
feature within the unit is in constant operation and will reveal "critical failures"
instantaneously. If unit is in 24 hour, 7-day a week operation, a manual self-
test should be conducted at least once every 24 hour period to check for
non-critical failures. The operator should inform the supervisor about any
problems that appear on the LCD.

USER ACCESS
To log in, the user must press the “ACCESS” touchpad. The unit will prompt
the user to enter their password.

MENU ITEMS
Each user may scroll through the menu items assigned to their particular level.
Some menu items are available as "view only". The PD 6500
i
will not allow
this user to change any of the "view only" items. To scroll the menu items,
use the ACCESS touchpad; to scroll in the reverse order, press PROGRAM
touchpad.
