Program Checksum Test
This test verifies that the unit's internal program is valid by performing a checksum test. If a fault exists, a program checksum error shows on the LEDs as error 1, as shown in TABLE 7. The unit will immediately halt. This error requires that the unit be serviced.
Buffer Memory Sizing and Read/Write Test
In this test, the Caretaker Plus automatically determines amount of buffer memory present and indicates the amount via the status LEDs as shown in TABLE a. The buffer memory is then tested to ensure that the memory system is operational. Any failure will cause the error 2 condition to be displayed, as shown in TABLE 7, indicating that a buffer memory data error has occurred. The unit will not continue its further tests and will halt. An error indicates that the unit requires servicing.
