Warm-up
When you place a monitor in the cradle and lock the capture mechanism, the Cradle
automatically starts charging the instrument and initiates a warm-up cycle to prepare the
instrument for bump testing or calibration. In order for the warm-up cycle to commence,
however, the monitor needs to be either turned off or in AutoRAE 2 Communications mode.
The warm-up time depends on the sensors installed in the instrument and their individual
warm-up requirements. During warm-up, the two Cradle LEDs labeled "Bump" and "Cal" blink
orange in alternation. When the instrument is warmed up, the two LEDs glow continuously
green, indicating that you may now perform a bump test or calibration.
If the instrument fails to warm up, the Cradle's Bump and Cal LED lights will blink red in
alternation and the buzzer will alarm. Remove the monitor from the cradle and refer to the
information on the instrument display.
An instrument to be placed in the cradle can be off or turned on and set for AutoRAE 2
Communications mode.
1. When you place an instrument that is turned off into the Cradle, the Cradle automatically
starts charging the instrument and initiates a warm-up cycle to prepare the instrument for
bump testing or calibration.
Note: If the instrument's voltage is too low to power on, the cradle initiates a warm-up cycle
until the voltage is sufficient to power on. That is to say, the identification time is longer.
2. When instruments are turned on and entered into AutoRAE 2 communication mode, they
are treated in different ways. Refer to this following table:
