5 Maintenance

5.1General

User maintenance on this instrument is limited to checking the LED indicator, a diagnostic mode and cleaning the case.

5.2LED Indicator

With the lid of the instrument removed, an LED located on the PCB flashes when a pressure conversion is carried out. This indicates that the instrument has power, that the processor is functioning and the transducer frequency and diode voltage are within normal limits.

5.3Diagnostic Mode

D - Diagnostic Mode

This command places the instrument into the diagnostic mode.

Command: D, mode

Where:

mode is a single digit:

1Dump all 512 stored values.

2Dump transducer coefficients (checks LOAD L command).

3Dump calibration factors i.e. gain, offset etc.

4Continuous output of sensor diode voltage (temperature) mV.

5Continuous output of sensor frequency in Hz.

Result: The reply depends on the mode as follows:

Mode 1

32 lines of output as follows:

aaa- nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn nn<RT> where: aaa = hexadecimal address offset (0 to 1FFH) and

nn = hexadecimal data
