RESET buttons (green)
Two green RESET operating buttons are located on either side of the control module,
both serving the same function. The buttons can be used interchangeably.
Pressing either button performs the following actions, depending on the context.
Single press the RESET button to:
activate the backlight and refresh the HUD (when in dim oscillating mode); and
toggle between primary and secondary screen.
Double press the RESET button to:
reset control module manual alarm;
reset control module full alarm;
put the BA into sleep mode (when below 15 bar); and
clear primary alarms.
An electronic beep is sounded every time either of the green RESET
buttons is pressed.
Holding down either button continuously when in SLEEP mode:
for five seconds displays the battery status. Pressing the red ALARM button when
the battery status screen is
displayed accesses RFID mode;
for eight seconds displays the diagnostic menu screen.
Holding both buttons continuously when in active mode accesses the RFID screen.
Manual ALARM button (red)
The control module has a red manual ALARM button on the face. When pressed
it
activates various alarm levels.
