3.5 Self-Test
The BAM 1020 has a built-in self-test function which automatically tests most of the tape
control and flow systems of the BAM 1020. The self-test should be run right after each time
the filter tape is changed, and it can also be used if the operator suspects a problem with the
BAM 1020. More detailed diagnostic test menus are also available in the BAM, and those are
described in the troubleshooting Section 7.
The self-test feature is located in the TAPE menu. Press the SELF TEST soft-key to start the
test. The tests will take a couple of minutes, and the BAM 1020 will display the results of
each tested item with an
OK
or a
FAIL
tag. If all of the test items are OK, the status will show
SELF TEST PASSED as shown in the drawing below. If any item fails, the status will show
ERROR OCCURRED.
Self-Test Status Screen
LATCH:
This will show OFF if the photo interrupter senses that the pinch rollers are
unlatched (down) as in normal operation. It will show ON if the roller assembly is
latched in the up position. The tape cannot advance if the rollers are up!
