3.6 Inspection Torch
The inspection torch provides a remote means of operating the Play Detector with the ability
to light the area of inspection. The torch is hard-wired to the pedestal by means of a heavy-
duty coiled data cable. The button operations are the same as described in section 3.6
above with the addition of an extra LAMP ON / LAMP OFF button. It is not possible to switch
between MANUAL and CONTINUOUS modes using the torch, this can only be done from
the pedestal, and only when PEDESTAL mode is selected. The torch keypad is laid out as
below.
Keypad Functionality – Hardwired Torch
The torch is programmed with a standard safety feature to prevent accidental operation of
the Play Detector should the buttons be pressed. The operation of the four lower buttons
(control buttons for the moving plate) are disabled until the SAFETY button is depressed
first. When the SAFETY button is pressed, the LED under the PD symbol will light. This
signifies that the four control buttons are now ‘active’. After six seconds of inactivity, the
PD LED will automatically switch off and hence the safety is engaged. Only when the PD
LED is lit can the Play Detector be operated.
The green power LED will remain lit all the time that power is supplied to the torch, and the
lamp ON / OFF will work at all times irrespective of safety status and pedestal / torch
modes.
The BATT light has no function on the hardwired torch.
