Carrying Out Diagnostic Tests

TB8100 Service Kit User's Manual
Most diagnostic tests are carried out in a similar way. The following describes
how to do it.
When you start a test, it uses the base station's existing settings such as frequency
and level, unless you enter different values. When you stop a test or it comes
to an end, the base station always returns to the configuration it was in before
the test began. For example, after making a test transmission at a manually
selected frequency, the base station reverts to the frequency it was previously
configured for.
To carry out a diagnostic test
1. Connect and log on to the base station. You can be remotely connected,
but you do need to be on site to test the control panel and the speaker.
2. Click Diagnose.
3. Click Mode and select Standby mode.
4. In the navigation pane, select an item. The corresponding form appears.
5. In the form, check the base station's current status and click Start Test.
This either carries out the test or it enables other buttons on the form so that
you can carry out a test. The item in the navigation pane turns red and the
Start Test button changes to Stop Test.
During the test, the base station will respond to any faults that occur (if, for
example, the PA overheats, it will fold the power back) but there will be no
alarm notification, because Task Manager is not active in Standby mode.
6. If desired, you can navigate to other forms to view monitoring screens,
check the base station's configuration. Some tests also allow you to
simultaneously carry out other tests.
7. If necessary, click Stop Test to end the test (some tests end automatically).
Selecting Run mode or disconnecting the Service Kit also ends the test.
