Operation and Use
The control unit does not operate while the ignition is not active.
After ignition is applied, the unit pulses the alert indicators and alarm twice to show that they are operating.
The control unit state is displayed by the alert indicators as follows:
■
If the cylinder pressure is correct (input 1 closed) and not low (input 2 closed), the green alert indicator
illuminates.
■
If the cylinder pressure is okay (input 2 closed) but the low pressure is active (input 1 open), the amber
alert indicator illuminates.
■
If the cylinder pressure is discharged (input 2 open), the red alert indicator illuminates. It will then remain
active until the battery power (pin 8) is cycled—cycling power to the ignition input (pin 4) does NOT clear
the red alert indicator.
If the control unit detects that the cylinder pressure is discharged (input 2 open), a timing cycle is initiated. At
the end of the time period (default setting of six seconds), the alarm pulses for two seconds and then the
ignition ETR output is turned off.
The shutdown delay may be adjusted to 15 or 20 seconds.
■
If the panel test button is pressed during the six-second cycle, the time delay period is extended by 20
seconds.
■
The red alert indicator flashes for this extended period and then the ignition output is turned off.
■
This extension can only be applied once.
■
If the control unit is shut down after the six-second cycle, the 20-second extension is still available once
only.
The panel test button then has no further effect except that the amber alert indicator illuminates for up to two
seconds to confirm operation.
Note
The test only can be initiated when there is no fault and will illuminate the amber alert indicator for two seconds.
Then, perform a normal shutdown sequence after the programmed time period—the ignition and the green
alert indicator are restored when the panel test button is released.
