Self-Diagnostic Tests:
The Model 1250-LTC regularly performs a number of self-
check diagnostic tests and generates error codes in the form “FA
n
” and “ERR
n
” if it detects
an internal fault. The “
n
” number indicates the type of failure detected. See Section 5.0, page
50, for a full list of error codes and their explanation.
Power Fail:
The 1250-LTC is designed to shut its microprocessor off when it detects
the line voltage falling below a fixed threshold, typically 85 to 105 / 170 to 210 VAC. This
feature enables the microprocessor to properly store its data before the power is lost
completely. The 1250-LTC will automatically re-start itself when the line voltage rises above
the Power Fail Threshold voltage.
The software revision number can be displayed by pressing the “SELECT/ENTER”
key while turning on the power to the 1250-LTC.
The 1250-LTC has the capability to delete all user-programmed values and restore all
factory default program values. This “cold boot” is accomplished by pressing the “MENU”
key while turning on the power to the 1250-LTC. There is no way to undo the effects of a
cold boot.
The LED display can be tested. Use the
OP 40, LED t, LEDTEST
command to turn
on all display LED’s. Press the ENTER key to stop the test.
The RS-232 port can be tested. Use the
OP 41, RS t
menu command to enter the
RS-232 Echo Test mode. With a computer terminal connected to the serial port, type in
some characters. The 1250-LTC should receive these characters and re-transmit them back to
the terminal. The characters typed should appear on the terminal display. Press the ENTER
key to stop the test.
The High / Low relays can be tested. Use the
OP 43, RLY t, RLYTEST
command to
turn on one of the relays. The UP and DOWN keys will cause the 1250-LTC to toggle
between the High and Low relay. If you are using the RS-232 serial port, press the space bar
on the computer terminal to toggle between the High and Low relay.
