8.4  Executing a Self-Test

Procedure

System Setup Menu

On the top menu, press 

SETUP

 to display the following menu.

 

Executes a self-test

Note

Perform a self-test with the battery pack installed in the AQ7280.
If the battery pack is not installed, the test will result in error.

Explanation

Self-Test

The self-test checks the operation of the following items.
•  Internal memory
•  Battery pack voltage

If the self-test result is successful, the message “Test succeeded” will appear. If there is an error, the 
message “Test Error occurred” will appear.

If an Error Occurs during a Self-Test

  If an error occurs, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
