3.9. The DIAGNOS Function
3.9.1. Overview
The
DIAGNOS
function displays sensor data and status information useful to a service technician for
troubleshooting various fault conditions. Explanations of the data shown in these screens are given
below.
3.9.2. Keypad Functions
From the
Data Display
screen, use the
Keypad
buttons to place the arrow (>) on the display next to the
DIAGNOS
function. Then press
ENTER
to display the first of two
Diagnostic
screens.
Press the
Up
Arrow
Keypad
button to toggle between the
First
and
Second
Diagnostic
screen.
3.9.3. First Diagnostic Screen
In the first diagnostic screen, the user can toggle between displaying the Bench Voltage / Noise and
Detector Temperature / Box Temperature by pressing the
Right
Arrow
Keypad
button.
Bench Voltage
– This is the current peak-to-peak output of the IR detector. In the absence of gas this
value can range from 3.90000V to 4.50000V.
Noise –
The Noise value is a 16 point running average of the noise portion of the IR detector’s output.
This reading is valuable mainly when refrigerant is NOT present.
Detector Temperature
– This is the current detector temperature in °C.
Box Temperature
– This is the current internal enclosure temperature in °C.
Fault Code
– Current fault code. A value of <0000> indicates that no faults are being detected.
Manifold Pressure
– Current manifold pressure in psia.
Purge Valve Asterisk (
∗
)
– The purge valve can be opened and closed by pressing the
Left Arrow
Keypad
button. An asterisk appears on the display when the purge valve is
open
.
3.9.4. Second Diagnostic Screen
PPM Level
– Parts Per Million Level is the current detected gas level, and is the volume concentration
referenced to standard temperature and pressure.
Average Absorption Unit
– This is the optical absorbency. In the absence of gas the absorbency is
0.00000 au. When sampling selected gas, its value varies proportionally with the concentration.
µMoles/Liter
– This is the absolute concentration in micro-moles per liter of gas.
Detector Voltage
– This is a running average of the IR detector’s bench voltage as displayed in the
First
Diagnostic
screen.
Purge Valve Asterisk (
∗
)
– When viewing the diagnostic screen, the purge valve can be opened and
closed by pressing the
Left Arrow Keypad
button. An asterisk appears on the display when the purge
valve is
open
.
