80 Accela PDA Detector Hardware Manual
Detector errors and major detector events, such as power-on self-tests (POSTs), are logged to
a dedicated area in the memory of the detector. These messages are created as part of the
normal operation of the detector and can be helpful when attempting to troubleshoot
communications problems.
The log can hold a maximum of 100 errors/events. When the log is full, the newest entry
replaces the oldest entry. To keep a continuous record for your maintenance files, print out the
log and clear it periodically. The memory is protected by battery backup when the detector is
turned off. View, print, and clear the log weekly as part of your regular maintenance routine.
For a list of some common error messages that might appear in the log, see
page 100.
