Operation
nstallation is completed, operation is fully automatic. The 876A-1 Readout Module continuou
es the level of radioactivity measured at the detector site. When the radiation level exceed
set point, an alarm is actuated.
llowing steps explain how to operate the 875 monitor:
Turn the function switch to the TEST position, and press and release the Electronic Check So
(ECS) push button. About four seconds later, the SAFE-RESET light should come on. Then
and hold the CHANNEL TEST push button. The ALERT, HIGH, and CHANNEL TEST lamps
light immediately.
NOTE
When channel test is pressed, the high and alert
alarm relays are deactivated. (Their coils are de-
energized). The wiring of the channel test circuit is
such that the channel test lamp will not light unless
the alarm relay contacts are in the deactivated or
tripped state. This is for the purpose of assuring
that an actual contact state change has occurred,
identifying that the channel is in the test mode.
Reconciling these alarm conditions is the user's
responsibility, since the remote alarms are not
included in the standard containment monitor
system.
Release the CHANNEL TEST push button. The SAFE-RESET lamp should stay on. Either or both
of the HIGH (red) and ALERT (yellow) lamps may stay on or go out depending on the alarm reset
mode chosen by the installation of jumpers on the alarm circuit board. The monitor is supplie
the manual reset mode selected.
To reset any alarm light, press the SAFE-RESET push button. If conditions are normal, the light
go out.
Switch the function switch to the ALL position.
Again press the ECS push button. The panel meter indicator should go to a reading of abo
R/h and the green SAFE-RESET light stays on in the operating condition. If the panel meter shows
little or no deflection at the pressing of the ECS push button, the green light should go out fou
seconds after the ECS push button is pressed. In this case, follow troubleshooting procedures.
