action being performed, which will either be Discovery, Calibration, or Scan. The Progress field reports
the current progress of each action.
Steps for Calibrating FEDs
1. Select Diagnostics.
2. Under Test and actions, select Electrolyte Levels. The number of level detectors configured
should match the number of level detectors detected. If these two values do not match, refer to
the section titled Common Errors.
3. Press the Calibrate button. The button state will change to “Calibration Requested” while the
Frontier system calibrates each FED unit in series.
a. Quick Calibrate sets the ‘full’ level for each FED unit.
b. Full Calibrate will power cycle the FED units and set their addresses (enumerate operation),
it will then calibrate the units at the ‘full’ level.
A Full Calibration will take a few minutes to complete. For example, 60 FED units will take around
five minutes to complete. Do not navigate away from this page while FED units are calibrating.
4. Once calibration is complete, the Calibrate button will return to its normal state and the Last
calibration field will update with the time and date that the most recent calibration occurred.
5. Return to the Home page to verify that all alarm statuses are being returned properly.
Alarm Status in User Interface
Each FED reading will be represented by a block in the user interface and each block will have a color to
indicate the state of alarm.
Color Indicator Description
Green Electrolyte Level is normal.
Red Electrolyte Level is low.
Orange Level Detector is detached.
Grey Level Detector in error state.
On-screen electrolyte level status is updated at least once every hour.
Other FED Diagnostic Functions
The Electrolyte Levels Diagnostics page also contains an additional three tabs which can be used to
configure auto calibration, as well as display and export FED status data.
Settings
The Settings tab allows the user to enable/disable the auto-calibration, set the scheduled time for
calibration, and enable/disable detach detection.
The Enable Auto Calibrate turns on the function to calibrate if the luminosity has changed due
to changes in the color of the positive plate. As some batteries age, the light reflected back
from the positive plate changes gradually. This function compensates for that change.
