Reset Controller Settings
Some of the Setup menus have a reset button that reset the settings on the
current menu to the default values. Reset only resets the settings on the screen
being viewed and no others. This is a helpful troubleshooting tool in case an
accidental change was made to the values.
A factory reset function is available in the Instrument Setup Menu that when
pushed, resets the Product to its original factory settings.
Diagnostics
The Diagnostics menu provides helpful system information, tools, and functions
to help troubleshoot and keep the system in good working operation.
Note
If the Product is configured as a system, the Diagnostics menu
shows all of the controllers connected to it in the Diagnostics menu.
The Diagnostics menu is broken into these sections which are explained in the
next sections:
System
Measure
Control
Remote Interface
System
The System Diagnostics menu provides information on these system
components:
Door Switch
– This is a mechanical-electrical switch located near the front panel
that senses when the front panel is open. When open, the system is vented and
the module information screen is shown. When closed, the system operates
normally. If the status is “Open” when the door is closed, the switch could be
malfunctioning or need adjustment.
Test Port Vent Valve
and
Ref Port Vent Valve
– These are normally-closed
isolation valves installed on the internal pressure manifold. When the system is in
the Vent mode, these valves should be open. In other modes, such as Control
and Measure, the valves should be Closed. If the status is different than that
described, the valve may be malfunctioning.
Ref Port Vent Valve
– This is a normally-closed isolation valve installed on the
internal pressure manifold. When in the Gauge measurement mode, the valve is
closed. When in Absolute or Tare, the valve is open. If the status is different than
that described, the valve may be malfunctioning.
