The following 5 keys are on the user interface:
a) ON/OFF key
b) QUIT key
c) UP and DOWN keys
d) ENTER key
Pressing the ON/OFF key for some time will turn the unit on or off. The QUIT key can be used
to suppress the acoustic signal. For navigating in the service menu use the UP and DOWN keys
and the ENTER key.
On the user interface there are 3 additional LEDs (Battery, Controller, Info).
The LED for Battery is green when the state of the batteries is ok. The Battery LED is red when
the battery is faulty or when it has not been connected. The LED for Controller is green when the
micro-controller system has not found any failures during its regular self-test, otherwise it is red.
The LED for Info flashes green when the cache contains messages.
5.2.1.2 Emergency power supply
When the main power supply via transformer unit fails one battery will backup the power
supply of the control unit. The electronic elements will stay in operation for appr. 2 more hours.
During this time the backlights of the LCDs will be turned off. At the push of a button, the
backlights will be activated for 15 seconds. The switching valves and the signal relays will be
turned off as well.
5.2.1.3 Pressure monitoring
The channels in use are monitored on the basis of an upper and a lower alarm threshold. In case of
an error, the corresponding LED will shine red or yellow and the status in the LCD will flash. In
addition, an acoustic alarm will be activated. When pressing the QUIT key, the acoustic alarm
will be suppressed and both the source and the LED will flash. With an alarm of the mains
pressure, the suppression will be overridden after 12 minutes.
Pressure monitoring of the sources left and right has a hysteresis of 2bar at the lower alarm
threshold. That means, pressure must exceed the lower alarm threshold by 2bar upwards before
pressure for the control unit is accepted as OK by the system.
