PB2 – DC Module Diagnostics

This function is selected after entering Internal Diagnostics (

PB3

).

DC Module: If the dc module (XDC0001A Kit) is installed, this mode allows the board to be exercised
with both positive and negative currents and sets the DCLOTL. The threshold for DCLOTL is
adjustable, but is factory preset for most installations. The asterisk (*) is present in the lower right corner
if the line voltage is above the preset DCLOTL threshold.

Button(s)

DC Module Diagnostics Mode Function:

VOLUME

Up or

VOLUME

Down

Increases/decreases the dc value sent to the dc module. This value
determines the dc current level and is a hexadecimal number ranging from 00
(lowest current) to 0x3F (highest current).

CTL

+

VOLUME

Up or

CTL

+

VOLUME

Down

Works in the same manner as the function above, but increases or decreases
the value by 10 rather than 1.

TRANSMIT

Exits the dc module diagnostic mode.

MONITOR

Toggles to the polarity of the current being generated. The display shows
+ for positive and − for negative polarity.

CTL

+

PB1

Allows the DCLOTL threshold to be set. In order for this setting to be done
properly, a dc supply must be connected to the line pair with 3 volts. When

CTL

+

PB1

to pressed, the unit reads the dc voltage on the line and saves the

value for future DCLOTL operation.

CTL

+

PB4

Like

CTL

+

PB1,

this key sequence sets the DCLOTL threshold. However,

no dc supply is needed. To set the threshold, set the current out into the
proper line load (typically 8 kilohms) by using the

VOLUME

Up or Down

buttons. When the proper current is reached, press

CTL

+

PB4.

The unit

reads the voltage for future DCLOTL operation.
