Power-up sequence

The following sequences of operation shows the instrument display.

Note:

 

The following sequence is an example, the values and selections displayed depend on 
the range(s) and options enabled in the instrument 

(Ref: Touch screen areas)

.

1.

Set the power supply to ON:

2.

The display shows the power-up sequence.

3.

The instrument carries out a self-test.
If the test finds a fault, the display shows an 

error 

(Ref: Fault Finding and Testing, Section 

5)

.

4.

If the self-test is successful the system 
enables the touch screen and changes to 
measure mode.

5.

The touch screen shows the measured 
pressure in the parameters selected in set-up.

6.

The instrument is now ready for use.

Note:

 

The PACE 6000 shows a single display 
(default) this is the left hand pressure control 
module. Change to dual display in Global Set-
up/Display.
