with Excel software version

Version

2V0

Interrogator software can be used with

Excels running

2V0

software or higher.

Version

3V0

and

3V1

Interrogator software can be

used with Excels running

3V0

software or higher.

The latest version of Interrogator software is

greater than

4V0

. This version works with

3V0

and

higher Excels, Optima and Optima Plus. CSA

versions of the SHC-1 are programmed with

version 4V1 of the interrogator software, which

displays the units of measurement for the

Cross-Duct version as %LEL/m.

Incorrect communication

1) Check that Interrogator is correctly plugged

connection

into the IS socket on the DVC100(M) or DX100(M)

junction box.

2) Check that the RS485 A and B wires from the

Excel unit have been connected to the correct

terminals inside the DVC100(M) or DX100(M)

junction box.

Excel unit is not powered up

Check that the +24V supply is reaching Excel

unit correctly. The Supply voltage at unit should be

b18V and +32V.

Interrogator battery low

Check the Interrogator battery and replace if low.

See Appendix A. Section A.4.3.

The installation has failed to

1) Check that the signal levels reaching the

installation

meet the acceptable criteria

Receiver are greater than 0.7 and less than 2.0.

failed message

of the Instrument Assisted

2) Check that the correct range has been entered for

when attempting

Alignment (IAA) check

the installed path length.

initialisation

3) Check that the alignment of the

Receiver has been

fully optimised.

The received signals must be peaked up to the

maximum achievable. Adjusting the alignment until the

signals are just above the minimum signal threshold

and then leaving it at that is poor practice and will not

always result in an installation that passes the IAA

check criteria.

4) Check the alignment of the Transmitter.

5) Check that there are no objects obscuring part or all

of the beam path.

6) Check that the windows of both the Receiver and

the Transmitter are clean.

7) Check that the structures that the Transmitter and

Receiver are mounted on are stable and free from

significant angular movement/vibration.

8) Check that there is no gas in the beam - which

prevents successful zeroing.

9) Installation will fail in conditions of low visibility or

fluctuating atmospheric transmission - which degrade

signal quality. Do not attempt installation during

conditions of heavy rain, snow or fog.
