19.5. Display Status Messages and Color Coding
The AutoRAE 2 Controller has a color display, so colors are used to indicate status in
different categories of information.
Status Color Explanation
Pass
Green
1. All sensors and alarms passed bump test.
2. All sensors and alarms passed calibration.
Pass? Green 1. All sensors that were tested passed bump test. Some
sensors were not tested.
2. All sensors that were calibrated passed calibration.
Some sensors were not calibrated.
Fail Red 1. One or more sensors or alarms failed bump test.
2. One or more sensors or alarms failed calibration.
3. Monitor not detected after 30 minutes.
4. Monitor warm-up error or other error.
Warning Yellow Sensor does not match the gas.
Warm-up None Instrument warm-up.
Ready None Instrument ready to bump test or calibrate.
19.6. Warm-Up
When you place a monitor in the Cradle and lock the capture mechanisms, the system
automatically starts charging the instrument and initiates a warm-up cycle to prepare the
instruments for use with AutoRAE 2. In order for the warm-up cycle to commence,
however, the monitors need to be either turned off or in AutoRAE 2 Communications
mode.
The warm-up time depends on the sensors installed in the instrument and their individual
warm-up requirements. During warm-up, the two Cradle LEDs labeled “Bump” and
“Cal” blink orange in alternation and the instrument’s name in the AutoRAE 2
Controller’s display is accompanied by “Warm-up.” When an instrument is warmed up,
