Planar IT-14, Operating Manual

Page: 22 / 27

Temperature . Temperature inside the Analyzer.
The function checks the temperature inside the Analyzer. Temperature is the main environmental factor,
which influences the accuracy of measurements. To check the accuracy of measurements of the signal level,
use the temperature parameter. If the temperature value is within the allowed range of – 10 to 50 º
С , then
Ok status will be displayed at the end of the parameter line. If the temperature is not within this allowed
range, then status will not be displayed. If instead of temperature «---» value is displayed, this indicates that
temperature measuring device is faulty. In this case, please contact the service center.
Bat voltage . Voltage of the battery.
Bat charge . Battery level status.
The battery voltage and battery level status parameters allow you to check the battery condition. Perform
this check when operating in stand-alone mode (power supply switched off). If the measured battery voltage
is higher than 6.8 V, then
Ok status is indicated, if the voltage is lower than 6.8 V, then Low status is
indicated. The voltage will then be recalculated into the battery level status value in percent, which will help
you to estimate the time remaining for the Analyzer to operate. Please note that with decrease of ambient
temperature the battery capacity also decreases. This should be taken into account when estimating the
operating time of the Analyzer.
Program mem . Firmware status.
This function checks the firmware status of your IT-14. If no errors detected, the Ok status is displayed. If
an error has been detected, the Error status is displayed. In this case, the firmware must be reinstalled
(Section 4.9.5).
Calib table . Calibration table status.
This function checks calibration table. If no errors detected, the Ok status is displayed. If an error has
been detected, the Error status is displayed. In this case, please contact the service center.
ChPlan mem . Channel plan memory status.
DataLog mem . Data log memory status.
This function shows the free memory in percent for each memory type.
Devices . Internal devices status.
This program checks the condition of the Analyzer components. If no errors detected, the Ok status is
displayed. If an error has been detected, the Error status is displayed. In this case, please contact the
service center.
4.7 Identification
The icon in the Service menu refers to this mode. The Identification function allows you to
determine the Analyzer model, its serial number, modification and firmware version, channel template name.
The screen view is represented in the Figure 4.7.1.
Figure 4.7.1
Your IT-14 data are displayed in the upper part of the screen:
a)
Model – Analyzer model;
b) HW ver. – Analyzer hardware version;
c) SW ver. – Analyzer firmware version;
d) S/N – Analyzer serial number.
In the lower part of the screen, you will find name of the channel template, which can be edited with
external PC (Section 4.9.6).
