System Diagnostics
6. System Diagnostics
System diagnostics may be performed using the status and diagnostics indicators on the
control module and sensors, or by using the Diagnostics software routine, or a
combination of the two.
6.1 Diagnostics Indicators
NOTE: Status indicators appear to "freeze" if the controller has been configured for Gate
or Host mode (Section 5.3.2), and no signal is present to cause a scan update.

Figure 6-1. A-GAGE High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY System diagnostics and status indicators
Bright, easy-to-see LED indicators on both sensors and on the front panel of the
control module provide an ongoing display of the system's operating status.
Control Module:
OUTPUT: (red) displays the status of Discrete Output #1.
ALARM: (red) displays the status of Discrete Output #2. This output may be assigned
to an analysis mode, or it may be used as a System Diagnostics alarm or as a Trigger
alarm to gate another A-GAGE High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY System.
GATE: (red) displays the status of the Gate input.
ALIGN: (green) indicates proper emitter/receiver alignment and a clear, unblocked light
screen. This indicator is ON when either the green or both the green and yellow LEDs
of the receiver are ON.
