MONITORING THE
DETECTOR'S EVENT LOGS
Click on the Read Logs button (No logs are displayed prior
to clicking on the Read Logs button.) All data currently
stored in the sensor module's memory will be displayed
on the Logs window. Date, time, brief description of
each event, as well as the operating temperature and
voltage of the detector will be listed. Normal status is
highlighted in green, faults in yellow, alarm events in
red, and test/calibration/reset in blue. Refer to the "Event
Logs Descriptions" section of this manual for a detailed
description of each event.
All data is stored in a non-volatile memory, which can
accommodate approximately 1500 events. When the
maximum is exceeded, the oldest events are automatically
overwritten in order to make room for the newest events.
The real time clock in the detector is furnished with
battery back-up to ensure correct operation in the event
of a power failure. The clock provides second, minute,
hour, day, month and year data.
