Chapter 4: Utilities - Midtronics Celltron ULTRA Instruction Manual

Chapter 4: Utilities

The UTILITIES SETUP menu has eight options, three of which
support the test process. If you make no selections, the
analyzer uses the default settings. For the critical WARNING
and TEMP settings, the analyzer will remind you with a
PREFERENCES NOT SET message until you change or accept
the default settings.
The utilities are:
• WARNING (voltage threshold for failing jars and
strings)
• TEMP (Celsius or Fahrenheit)
• MODE (auto or manual test startup)
• CLOCK (date and time)
• DISPLAY (contrast and backlight duration)
• LANGUAGE (selecting the language)
• UPDATE (update the Celltron ULTRA software)
Selecting a warn/fail threshold (WARNING)
The WARNING utility enables you to set the percentages
of the reference value below which a jar and string must
fall to generate a WARN or a FAIL notice on the printed test
results. A question mark (?) appears next to jars and strings
as a warning. An exclamation mark (!) appears if the jar or
string is failing.
