reset capability is also provided. (Remote reset per-
forms a forced reset.)
NOTE
The remote reset performs a reset function only.
It cannot be used for entering other controller
operating modes.
SETPOINT DISPLAY MODE
If the RESET button is held for approximately one
second, the controller enters the Setpoint Display
mode. In this mode, the digital display sequentially
shows the programmed alarm setpoints and
calibration gas concentration. Each value is displayed
for approximately 2 seconds. After completing the
sequence, the controller automatically returns to the
Normal operating mode if the RESET button is no longer
being depressed.
This mode is used only for displaying the setpoints. Use
the “Setpoint Adjust” mode for changing setpoint and
calibration gas values.
CALIBRATE
The R8471E uses a fully automatic calibration procedure
that requires no adjustments by the operator. The
Calibrate mode is entered by pressing and holding the
RESET button until completion of the “Setpoint Display”
sequence described above (approximately 9 seconds).
The controller performs the Zero adjustments, then
signals the operator when to apply and also when
to remove the calibration gas. Upon completion of
a successful calibration, the controller automatically
returns to the Normal operating mode.
If the operator fails to complete the calibration
procedure, if an error in calibrating occurs, or if a
successful calibration cannot be completed, the
microprocessor will automatically return to the Normal
mode and continue to use the previous calibration data
(after 10 minutes or when the gas level drops below the
lowest setpoint). A fault indication (“F2X” status) will be
displayed until a reset occurs. If the microprocessor
determines that the sensor cell is approaching the end
of its useful life, “F10” will be indicated on the digital
display.
See “Calibration” section for complete information.
While in the Calibrate mode, all controller outputs are
inhibited, the CAL LED is illuminated and the dc current
output goes to a preset level (adjustable from 0 to 20
ma, with a default value of 4.0 ma).
SENSOR REPLACEMENT
This mode inhibits all controller outputs to allow
replacement of the sensor cell without removing power
from the controller. In addition, this mode automatically
sets the factory default values for sensor calibration.
Alarm setpoints and calibration gas concentration are
not affected.
CAUTION
Upon entering the Sensor Replacement mode, all
previously entered sensor calibration information
is lost. Sensor calibration must be performed,
even if the sensor cell was not replaced.
To enter the Sensor Replacement mode, either enter the
Calibrate mode as described above and press the SET
button, or hold the RESET button for 7 seconds while in
the power-up time delay. To exit this mode, press the
RESET button. Upon exiting the Sensor Replacement
mode, the controller automatically returns to normal
operation.
SETPOINTADJUST
The Setpoint Adjust mode is entered by depressing
the SET button for approximately one second. In this
mode the alarm setpoints and calibration gas level
are sequentially displayed on the digital display for
approximately five seconds and the corresponding LED
flashes. To change the setpoint, depress the RESET
button to increase the displayed value or the SET button
to decrease the value. If no changes are made for 5
seconds, the microprocessor automatically advances
to the next setpoint. At the end of the sequence, the
microprocessor automatically returns to the Normal
operating mode.
DC CURRENT OUTPUT CALIBRATION
This mode is used to calibrate the 4 to 20 ma dc
output. To enter this mode, hold the SET button, then
press RESET. Initially, a 4 ma output is generated
for approximately 7 seconds while the Low LED
flashes. Then 20 ma is generated while the High
LED flashes. Finally the current output level during
calibration is generated while the CAL LED flashes.
The microprocessor automatically returns to the
normal operating mode at the end of the sequence.
Adjustments to the current output level are made by
pressing the RESET (increase) or SET (decrease)
button. This procedure requires a dc current meter to
monitor the actual controller dc milliampere output.
