I’m OK Check, I’m OK Release Control
Buttons
These buttons are used to diagnose and correct communications problems between the central console and the transponder. The system software requires that each transponder send a message to the central console periodically if no other communications have taken place. These messages are called I’m OK messages. If for some reason the communications link between the central console and the transponder fails, the transponder recognizes the fact when its I’m OK transmissions are not acknowledged by the central console. When the transponder has retried transmitting an I’m OK message or any other message six times without acknowledgment, it assumes control of the outputs (LED’s, horns, strobes, and sirens) on devices connected to it and modifies the message to indicate that it is still OK and has taken control. These messages are transmitted once per minute until communications are reestablished.
The I’m OK Check button requests that the transponder send an I’m OK message. This is used to determine if a transponder has taken control of its outputs. The I’m OK Release Control button generates a command to the transponder to release control back to the central console. Normally, the central console automatically generates a Release Control message upon the re- establishment of communications following a failure.
