UM344-2

XTC COMMUNICATOR

2.4 POWER

Six "AA" alkaline batteries are supplied with the MXC. Remove the rear cover to access the battery compartment, as shown in the figure. Typical operating time of the MXC with new batteries and the back light off is approximately 80 hours; with new batteries and the back light on, approximately 30 hours.

A Low Battery indicator (LB) is displayed in the lower right corner of the LCD when about one-half of the battery charge is spent. Fresh batteries should then be available for installation.

NOTE

If the MXC fails due to low batteries, data in the On-Line Memory section of the MXC will be lost. The MXC should not be used to troubleshoot critical loops while the low battery indicator is showing.

The MXC will automatically conserve battery life when in the configuration mode. After approximately ten minutes with no keys on the keypad being pressed, the MXC will shut itself off. This will not occur while the MXC is monitoring variables from a field instrument.

2.5 MXC SOFTWARE VERSION

To read an MXC's software version, perform the following steps.

1.Press and hold the MXC's ON key until the MOORE logo appears on the display.

2.Watch the MXC display. The MXC's software version will be momentarily displayed.

3.Press the OFF key or continue on to configure or monitor a transmitter.

2.6 MXC MENU SCREENS AND PARAMETER MAP

Major MXC menu screens are shown in Figure 2-2. The screen's name appears in the left column. These screens are shown in block form in Figure 2-3.

Figure 2-3 is a Parameter Map which shows general configuration and calibration flow. Detailed configuration procedures are given in Section 5 of this Manual. Calibration is described in Section 6.
