Operating Modes; Initialize Mode - Honeywell SC500 Manual

3.1 Operating Modes

3.2 INITIALIZE Mode

The SC Series instruments have four modes of operation:
• INITIALIZE, to test the instrument upon power up
• RUN, normal operation
• ERROR, which indicates that an abnormal situation has occurred that
stopped the operation of the instrument
• SETUP, a menu which allows setup and calibration of the chassis and its
channels
Each of these will be described in this chapter.
When the instrument is powered up or otherwise reset, it enters the INITIALIZE
mode. As the instrument enters this mode, all segments of the display illuminate
momentarily. Next, each channel in the instrument is checked for proper opera-
tion.
If a problem is detected, the instrument may enter the ERROR mode.
Depending on the type of channel, other actions may occur. For example, a
Strain-Gage channel will calibrate its analog-to-digital converter and attempt to
read the transducer's Signature Calibration information.
equipped with Signature Calibration, the transducer's serial number is displayed
momentarily.
