Front Panel - Teledyne MB1 Hardware Manual

MB1
User Manual
When setting up the MB1, the RTA should be placed on a non-insulating surface wherever possible to
encourage heat to dissipate from the base plate. This is especially important in hot environments or
where the unit is exposed to sunlight. Failure to sufficiently dissipate the heat may result in a safety
hazard to personnel.
3.2.1

Front Panel

The front panel of the RTA consists of a series of status indicating LEDs, which tell the user when data is
being received to the RTA from each sensor. The RTA and sonar are also powered by depressing the
circular power button to the right of the front panel.
Before the RTA will indicate the correct sequencing of lights, each sensor must be attached and
configured in section 3.2.2 of this manual.
Once the power button is depressed, the lights will perform the following self check sequence:
(a) All lights in the IO box will flash once.
(b) The Link lights for both Sonar 1 and 2 will flash once.
(c) After 10 seconds, the Link lights for both Sonar 1 and 2 will flash once again.
(d) After 35 seconds, the link light for the sonar will begin to flash, and the system is ready for use.
Caution: The system is ready for use only when the Link light is flashing
During normal operation the status lights will flash in the following manner:
