CC Pilot™ XL
Basic operations
This section covers basic operation of the CC Pilot
™
XL unit such as start-up
and shut down.
Function of the Display’s Push-buttons
In the top left of the CC Pilot™ XL there are two buttons to control the screen
brightness. Press and hold the button to gradually increase or decrease the display’s
brightness.
Starting Up
The unit is started by sending a short push signal to the ON/OFF pins in the power
connector on CC Pilot™ XL. For more information see the chapter Hook up of Power
Supply.
Starting in the cold
Rotating harddrives should not be in used in low temperature. To prevent damage, the
temperature of the harddrive is checked and if needed warmed before start up of CC
Pilot™ XL.
When sending the ON/OFF signal and the temperature is lower than +5°C (+41°F). Your
CC Pilot™ will not start immediately. Instead, an internal heater will warm up the harddrive.
During warm up the LED on the display’s will flash and the display will be activated.
Once the temperature for the hard disk is above +5°C, the CC Pilot™ will start
automatically. The heater continiues to warm the harddrive until it r14°C.
To prepare for a fast start up in low temperatures preheating can be used. For more
information see chapter,
Heating via Preheating.
Values for the temperatures mentioned text are default values but can be changed
from the CCP Settings program.
Shutting-Down
To ensure that data does not get lost or the hard disk become corrupt, it is
recommended that all programs are closed before the unit is shut down.
CC Pilot™ XL can be shut down either from the operative system or from a short push
signal on the ON/OFF input in the power connector.
Forced Shut Down
Setting the ON/OFF signal high for 5 seconds will perform a forced shut down off the
onboard computer. The forced shut down is a direct shut down of the computer without
the control of the the operative system. This shut down should normally be avoided and
only be used when the computer is not responding to normal shut down.
Note that any information which was not saved will now be lost.
