4. Description of the RPCM Device
4.1.3.5. Control Mode Actions: Troubleshooting and Regular Operations
All operations Control Mode for the physical interface can be divided as:
troubleshooting
and
reg-
ular
. The need for troubleshooting operations arises due to non-standard situations, such as the
occurrence of a short circuit or an active sound signal. After elimination of the causes of such oc-
curens, troubleshooting operations and their prompts are disappeared.
Regular operations are always available for this object. For example, any output can be adminis-
tratively turned off regardless of its state (normal operation, short circuit, and so on).
There are available combinations of operations. For example, when overloading RPCM on input
according to default survival priorities, the 9th outlet automatically disconnected. In such situa-
tions, the output indicator (in this case, it is the number "9" on the display) will be displayed in
red. After selecting the object, the message suggests to turn off the output administratively
4.1.3.6. General RPCM Control Order in Control Mode Operations
All switching between functions and objects is performed by single pressing the bottom or top
button. The bottom button is used to move forward (down the list), the top button in the oppo-
site direction.
When you enter in the Control mode, "Control Mode! Be Careful!" message is displayed.
Further, the message "Return To View Mode" suggests returning the view mode in case switching
to Control mode happened by mistake.
Additionally, for ease of use, a short press of two buttons together is used to go to the first menu
item —
Return To View Mode
.
After that, if necessary, demonstrate the operations for RPCM. If there are no reasons these oper-
ations, it proceeds to inlet operations.
When moving to the next level, operations with outlets are performed.
Next the selected current output is indicated by the flashing indicator (its number) on the dis-
play.
First, a transition is performed to the available operations in the order for select outlet, then to
regular operations of administrative disconnection and activation of outlet.
