General information In no event will the manufacturer be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages resulting from any defect or omission in this manual. The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes in this manual and the products it describes at any time, without notice or obligation. Revised editions are found on the manufacturer’s website.
Make sure that all components have been received. If any items are missing or damaged, contact the manufacturer or a sales representative immediately. PROGNOSYS can only be used with an sc1000 controller that has an RTC communication card or a PROGNOSYS card installed. The PROGNOSYS files for the different sc sensors are kept on the sc1000 controller.
Note: PROGNOSYS is not available for all sensors. Only newer sensor models can use the PROGNOSYS function. Note: Make sure that an RTC or a PROGNOSYS communication card is installed in the sc1000 sensor module. When an RTC or PROGNOSYS communication card is installed, PROGNOSYS files are available for different sc sensors.
Figure 2 Add sensors 1 Select sensor 4 Add 2 Accept 5 Select additional sensor 3 Sensor list Sort the sensors (RTC modules only) The sensor sequence is programmed in the RTC module for the measurement values. To sort the sensors in the order specified for the RTC module, move the selected sensor with the UP and DOWN arrows.
Operation PROGNOSYS indicator bars If PROGNOSYS is installed, two additional horizontal bars show in the top right-hand corner of the measurement screen. The top bar is the measurement value indicator. The bottom bar is the service indicator. If no bars show up, refer to Troubleshooting on page 17.
Set the countdown period between 7 and 14 days. The measurement value is invalid or immediately complete a service task. Blank (background No data is available or the RTC/PROGNOSYS communication card was removed. color) Display description The measurement value indicator is not a linear degrading indicator because of the sensor special model based calculation.
Figure 6 Display overview for four sensors 1 Sensor 1 3 Sensor 3 2 Sensor 2 4 Sensor 4 Measurement value indicator If the sensor condition changes, the measurement value indicator changes. A deterioration of the measurement value indicator level in the top bar can change the color in the bottom service bar. Pending maintenance tasks do not have an immediate effect on the measurement value indicator (e.g., to replace the reagents).
PROGNOSYS. The setting specifies the duration of the yellow maintenance countdown phase in days. For maintenance tasks that are not often necessary, the user can extend the yellow phase to operate on a self-sufficient basis.
Configure the sensor Use the PROGNOSYS menu to monitor specific settings or to change the blink mode. 1. Push MAIN MENU>RTC MODULES/PROGNOSYS>PROGNOSYS. 2. Select the applicable sensor. 3. Select an option. Option Description MEAS. INDICATOR Shows the measurement indicator bar in %.
