Functional Check Procedure and First Time Operation
These procedures will guide you through the steps required to check the operation of the ACO-2200. The most
common scenarios will be explored to enable the user to familiarize themselves with the operation of the unit.
Although some steps are included which suggest cycling through menu options in order to check operation, this is
not mandatory - a simple check for presence or absence of a signal will suffice. Full details regarding the options
available in each of the menus are described in the chapter “
” on page 27 of this manual. The
scenarios to be explored are:
1. Initial Power-Up
2. Initial Configuration
3. Normal Operation (no fault)
4. Loss and Restoration of a Primary Signal
5. Loss and Restoration of a Backup Signal
6. Loss and Restoration of Power
Only one channel will be considered here to avoid confusion. To check the whole unit, repeat this procedure for
each of the remaining channels, remembering to leave signals connected to previously checked channels.
Initial Power-Up
1. Ensure that the ACO-2200 is not powered on.
2. Connect the ACO-2200 as shown in

monitoring device.
