Operation
The available system operations are based on four
different modes: normal mode, single Tx mode,
debug mode, and simulation mode. These system
modes enable the user to use, analyse, debug, and
simulate actions that can be taken by the system.
Password is needed to access the different
programming menus. The system services might be
interrupted by some menu operations.
A Normal Mode
When the system is in Normal Mode, some values
can be changed without interrupting the system
service. After changing a value in the menu fields,
the new value will take effect right after the user gets
back to the MAIN MENU. The Normal Mode is the
normal system operation. Note: Entering the EVENT
MENU will disable Event evaluation and reset their
status — during that time, the system is out of service
until the user goes back to the MAIN MENU.
Normal Mode Menu
1 Tx Info
2 Groups
3 Events (block Event evaluation if acceded)
5 Copy
7 Network
Warning
Any actions taken in these menus reset the Event
status.
Note: Displays details in the following pages.
B Single Tx Mode
The Single Tx Mode doesn’t prevent Event
evaluation. By entering this mode, the user is able to
analyse one sensor at a time. Only the displayed
device is interrogated by the controller, thus has its
information updated.
C Debug Mode
This mode is very helpful to evaluate the system, test
the system operation without stopping any system
services and calibrate the connected sensors. In
fact, everything stays in operation except that no
actions are taken by the Event. This way no relay is
activated.
Note: If one of these modes is accessed, the system
will automatically return to Normal Mode after 15
minutes.
D Simulation Mode
• The Simulation Mode deactivates information
update from the network communication.
• This mode simulates the gas concentration
over associated scale range for each sensor,
one after the other.
• The alarm level (A, B, C) are evaluated in
accordance to the gas concentration
simulated.
• Events are evaluated and actions are taken.
• During the simulation, the controller is unaware
of the current status of the network device.
• Simulation Mode can be stopped in the TEST
MENU at any time.
Note: Simulation Mode can be combined with any of
the three previous ones (i.e., Normal Mode, Single Tx
Mode, or Debug Mode). No other combinations are
possible.
