D.5 Functional Tests
NOTE: These tests require firmware version 3.21 (or higher) in the 8500C/C+ Balancer/
Analyzer. For instructions on changing the firmware to a newer version. see Section 5.7.3,
“EPROM Change Procedure.” In Appendix D, “8500C/C+” refers to either 8500C or
8500C+, units.
This section contains instructions to test the 8500C/C+ system performance parameters. If a test step
fails. refer to the “Troubleshooting Guide” in Section 5.6 to locate the faulty component.
The functional tests ensure that the instrument is operating properly and within specifications. The
functional test setups use, as much as possible. All the components (transducers, cables, etc.) that are
used in the field. This allows the user to verify the proper operation of these components and aids in
fault isolation.
