TEST SCRN - Press to test all screen segments. When this key is pressed, the MXC displays the "Begin" message to the left, then lights all the segments, turns them all off, displays the "Completed" message, and then returns to the original test screen.

END - Press to exit the test mode and return to the Main Menu screen.

Although the Transmitter continuously performs an on- line self test, a more extensive self test can be performed after communication with the MXC has been established.

1.At the On-Line Menu, press CAL/TEST (F2) to display the Calibrate and Test selections.

2.At the Calibrate/Test Menu, press TEST. A Test caution screen will appear. Press one of the following:

ABORT - Press to return to the Calibrate/Test Menu.

PROCEED - Press to continue the self test. A warning screen will be displayed then a message states that the test is occurring. After the test, the MXC will show whether or not the transmitter has passed or failed the self test.

If the MXC indicates that the Transmitter has: Passed - Press CONT then END.

Failed - Check installation wiring thoroughly. Go to Section 6 for troubleshooting suggestions.

3.When the MXC displays the Transmitter’s ID (On- Line Menu), press the STATUS Key to check for Transmitter errors. If an error is present, the ERROR Key (F2) will be displayed. Press ERRORS (F2) to check for ROM, RAM, EEPROM, TIMER and SENSOR errors. Refer to Section 6.3 Troubleshooting to confirm and resolve the error.

4.If the alarm function is enabled, press ALARM (F1) to check the ALARM OUT OF SERVICE status.
