SYSTEMUSE
The Safe-Aid TS350 unit is designed with ease
of operation in mind. The system goes directly
into its monitoring screen requiring no input from
the operator. All inputs to the system are done
by the operator via the touch screen. The touch
screen is sensitive to touch therefore it is not
necessary to push hard on the screen (if touch
screen does not work or selects incorrectly see
Touch Screen Calibration).
SYSTEMSTARTUP
The TS350 display unit will automatically power
up when the machine is switched on and the
buzzer will sound once.
The system will run a CRC (cyclic redundancy
check) to make sure that all raw data is correct.
Once the system has completed the CRC the
buzzer will sound again, and a set of internal
diagnostics (watchdogs) will be utilised to verify
that all inputs and outputs are working correctly.
At this point screen calibration can be done if
required (see Screen Calibration for process).
This screen displays the display serial number
as well as the firmware version:
S/N CLSS – serial number
Version – Firmware Version

TOUCHSCREENCALIBRATION
If the screen is not responding correctly to
touch, the touch screen may need to be
calibrated. Make sure that the Front Facia
(Sticker) is in good condition (no dents or
damage) as this can affect the touch screen.
Replace Front Facia if damaged.
Switch the TS350 display power off, power up
the TS350 while pressing in the middle of the
screen.
While the splash screen is on, keep pressing in
the centre of the screen for a full five seconds
until the touch calibration is activated and
loaded. Immediately lift your finger and follow the
on-screen instructions.
If the calibration screen has been entered by
accident and touch calibration is not necessary,
press the Exit button without pushing anywhere
else on the screen to continue with normal start
up procedures.
If the touch screen calibration is required follow
the below procedure:
Press and hold finger where the two lines meet
inside the small box at the top left-hand corner.
Calibration works fine when using a finger but for
better results use a pen taking care not to press
too hard or the screen will be damaged.
Hold finger/pen in this area until prompted to lift.
Prompts will then be given for three more touch
zones resulting in co-ordinates for all four
corners of the screen.
Once calibration is complete the software
automatically goes to the working screen.
TS350 Front Facia’s are available from the manufacturer at a nominal charge and
should be changed as part of a maintenance schedule
