Performance

Sampling Rates

The IR400 samples each detector at 1 msec intervals.

Power-up

On power up, the IR400 executes a self-test procedure, which requires approximately 15 seconds.
During this time, the analog output is set to 3.5mA. After the self-test is satisfactorily completed, the unit
sets the PV to a value representing the mode of the instrument.

Device Reset

The IR400 cannot be reset by any command. The unit only resets when power is cycled.

Self-Test

The IR400 goes through a self-test upon power cycle. Should any of the tests fail, the unit immediately
reports a fault condition.

Command Response Delay

The IR400 responds as follows:

Busy and Delayed-Response

The IR400 does not use delayed-response times.

Long Messages

The largest data field used by the IR400 is in response to Command 20 & 22 (Read/Write Long Tag):
34 bytes including the two status bytes.

Non-Volatile Memory

The IR400 uses EEPROM to hold the device's configuration parameters. New data is written to this
memory immediately on execution of a write command.

Operating Modes

The IR400 reports percent of lower explosive limit detected while in RUN mode. Various other modes
are used to support the calibration of the instrument.

Write Protection

The IR400 does not support any write protection mode.
