If the L./B. MODE item in Maintenance Mode is set to LC, bH, or LC
bH (see “Updating the Leak Check/Bar Hole Mode Setting” on
page 169), then the user must select Normal Mode during the start up
sequence to operate in Normal Mode. The standard factory setting is
LC. See “Chapter 4: Using the Gas Tracer in Bar Hole Mode” on
page 91 for a description of Bar Hole Mode or “Chapter 5: Using the
Gas Tracer in Leak Check Mode” on page 101 for a description of Leak
Check Mode.
The following description of the Gas Tracer start up sequence
assumes that the following menu items in Maintenance Mode are
turned on: LNCH BRK, ID DISP, CL RMNDR, and BP RMNDR. If
any of these items is turned off, then the corresponding screen will not
appear. It also assumes that L./B. MODE is set to LC bH. If L./B.
MODE
is set to LC, the Bar Hole Mode Select Screen will not appear.
If L./B. MODE is set to bH, the Leak Check Mode Select Screen will
not appear.
