Diagnostic Tests from the Front Panel
Diagnostic tests allow you to calibrate parts of the autoloader, check the condition of parts, or test the
autoloader's functionality. From the front panel, you can perform all of the diagnostic tests. Because certain
tests require you to manually insert a minimum of two cartridges, you can perform only some of the
diagnostic tests using the Remote Management Unit (RMU). See " Remote Management Unit Diagnostic
Tests ".
NOTE: The RMU allows you to request all diagnostic tests. Any tests that require a cartridge to be
inserted will time-out unless someone manually inserts the cartridge at the appropriate time.
Setting the Security
When you enable the security function, the diagnostic tests are password protected to ensure data
integrity. To access any of the diagnostic tests, you must first enter an Administrator password. If you do
not enter the password, you will be prompted to enter the password when you attempt to perform a
diagnostic test.
You can also enter passwords from the Commands menu as follows::
1. From any menu, click the Commands heading. The Commands screen displays.
2. On the Commands submenu, scroll to Enter Password, and then press Enter.
3. On the Enter Password submenu, scroll to Administrator, and then press Enter.
4. In the text box, scroll to the first number of the password, and then press Enter.
5. Repeat step 4 to enter the remaining numbers of your password.
NOTE: Press Escape to backspace to a previous text box, if necessary.
When you have finished entering your password, Submit Password appears on the LCD below the
asterisks.
6. Press Enter to submit your password. The display returns to the Enter Password submenu.
Stopping a Diagnostic Test
At times, you may need to stop a diagnostic test while it is in progress. To stop a diagnostic test while it is
running, use the End Curr. Test function. When you select End Curr. Test, any picker or magazine
functions complete, and then the diagnostic test stops.
