Manual Analyzer Override - Honeywell Vertex M User Manual

7.6 Manual Analyzer Override

The Vertex M Analyzer is equipped with a Manual Override (Figure 7-1) button in the event the
communications to the Vertex M Data Acquisition (DAq) computer halts. This button activates
only when the communications has completely ceased.

There are cases where the DAq appears to be "frozen" or "locked-up" (no response from the
keyboard and/or any user invoked actions after a few moments) when in reality this is not the
case. Events that could cause these symptoms include AC power surges or sags and improper
shut-downs of the DAq that result in file corruption. As a result, future attempts to access these
files can slow down the response of the DAq. To confirm a non-responsive DAq as opposed to
frozen/locked-up, check the clock located in the upper right hand corner of the Vertex M HMI
window (shown in Figure 7-2). If the clock is still advancing, then the DAq CPU is not
frozen/locked-up and the local Authorized Service Center needs to be contacted for assistance.
