7. System Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning of the Equipment
Your IRXP unit can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water. Avoid
solvents and commercial cleaners.
8. Real-time Ingress Monitor (RIM)
The RIM service is available through our CPAT Mobile Application and our RIM web site. It
gives remote access, in real-time, to the ingress measurement captured by IRXP. It provides
field technicians visual readings to locate with precision the source of Ingress entering the
cable network. Furthermore, the RIM web site gives the IRXP status.
8.1 Login the RIM
To consult data on the RIM the user must have a smart phone or a laptop with at least an
access to the internet. The user must have a CPAT profile, which consist of a username and
a password to login on the application or website

.

Ingress:
• When BLUE flashes, an ingress fault has been detected:
• Once per second, ingress level is <= -12dBmV.
• Twice per second, ingress level is > -12dBmV and <= 0 dBmv.
• Once per second, ingress level is > 0dBmv.
Power OFF/Reboot:
• When flashing WHITE, the system is in shutdown (or reboot) process while it is
transferring its files to the CPAT servers. If IRXP doesn’t have access to the Internet,
the maximum waiting time is 30 seconds before it is shutdown.
• Once per second, this is a shutdown process.
• Twice per second, this is a reboot process (usually after an update).
6.3 Communication
The IRXP uses a cellular modem to communicate with CPAT servers. This allows
measurements and warning message to be access through the RIM web site and CPAT
mobile app (see section 8).
6.4 Find & Fix
Once the IRXP is connected to the plant and to the mobile network, the technician can start
the find-and-fix using the ITX2. Here is a video explaining the CPAT ingress solution with an
IRX1 (head line equivalent of IRXP):

6.5 Shutdown
To power off the unit there are two modes Normal and Force shutdown, usually the user
should privilege the normal shutdown mode to avoid undesired flash memory corruption,
force shutdown should be use ONLY in case that the device is not responding.
Normal Mode Shutdown:
In normal mode user should press the button on the front panel ON/OFF for
1 second
then
let the IRXP initiate its shutdown process than the button LED flashes white indicating the
device will turn off.
Force Mode Shutdown (not recommended):
To force the IRXP to power down when running, press the ON/OFF button on the front
panel for
3 seconds
. When the unit shuts down, you can release the button. This is not the
recommended shutdown method.
