5.2 Diagnostic Tests

The diagnostic tests are used to help diagnose a problem in the analyzer and should only be used by skilled maintenance people since they can potentially interfere with the Carbon Monoxide reading. Table 5-1lists low level diagnostic tests. To get into the diagnostic test mode, press SETUP-MORE-DIAG. When the diagnostic mode is entered, a message is sent to the RS-232 channel indicating entry into the diagnostic mode. The buttons that are available to the operator are described below.

The TEST button is used to scroll through the test measurements until the one of interest is displayed. To turn the test on, press the OFF/ON button. Viewing test measurements in the diagnostic mode is especially useful for viewing the results of a diagnostic test.

The PREV button goes to the previous diagnostic test. When pressed, the CPU turns the current diagnostic test OFF if it is ON. The NEXT button goes to the next diagnostic test. When pressed, the CPU turns the current diagnostic test OFF if it is ON. The EXIT button exits the diagnostic mode and turns all the diagnostic tests OFF. This ensures that a diagnostic test is not accidentally left ON. A message is also sent to the RS-232 channel to indicate that the diagnostic mode has been exited.
