  • Page 17: Calibrating The Els Sensor Module

    Calibrating the ELS Sensor module Use the Calibration button on the ELS sensor module to calibrate the ELS sensor alarms. This provides an indication of the quality of the acoustic coupling. Do this by pressing the Calibrate button twice on each ELS sensor module.
  • Page 18: Testing The Els Sensor Module

    Testing the ELS Sensor Module 1. Verify there are no active alarm conditions by confirming that no red LEDs are active on any of the ELS sensor modules. If there are, ensure the electrolyte level is at a normal level and retry the calibration on the ELS sensor module.
  • Page 19: Troubleshooting

    If JP1 is not installed, the alarm LED and alarm relay on the ELSi interface module will remain on when the electrolyte level is returned to normal. To reset the alarm, press the reset button on the side of the ELSi interface module. See Figure 9. 8.
