Test Mode - Promag TR515 User Manual

Finally, there is a timeout error that occurs when you start the download but
PC doesn't send any data (or the TR515 cannot receive the data sent by the
PC). This happens when you either set communications parameters of the
HyperTerminal incorrectly or if you switch the TR515 on (with the IN button
pressed) before starting the XMODEM on the PC side (it should always be the
other way around: start XMODEM first, then switch the TR515 on).
The timeout error is indicated by a long beep and four dashes displayed by
the LED:
Checking existing firmware (FMM/check)
To check if the currently downloaded application firmware is valid:
•
Switch the TR515 off
•
Press and hold both IN and OUT buttons, then switch the TR515
back on (while keeping both buttons pressed). The unit will generate
a long beep and display "FLCH" (FLASH check):
•
Memory checkup takes about 5 seconds to complete. OUT LED is on
while check is in progress. Upon test completion, the TR515 will
either display "DONE" in case the FLASH memory contains a valid
program, or "Err4" if internal program code is invalid.

6. Test mode

The TR515 provides a hardware Test mode that can be initiated by issuing
a Z-command (see Section 3).
Warning! Hardware test destroys the database contents (not just
deletes it logically), so the data cannot be recovered even using the M-
command! The test mode also sets a so-called Reset flag: the TR515 will
be completely reinitialized on the next power-up after the test.
Once initiated, the Test mode cannot be exited other than by switching the
TR515 off.
The Test mode is comprised of two phases. Phase 1 performs automated
SRAM, RTC (real-time clock) and FLASH memory tests. Phase 2 consists of
manual button and reader tests.
