CONNECTING TO THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY
The equipment should be connected to the mains power supply via the mains cable supplied
with the equipment. This equipment leaves the factory set for 230V a.c. nominal, single
phase 50/60 Hz. mains supply.
The mains IEC inlet is situated on the lower right hand side of the trolley. Where a
Smokemeter is supplied the inlet will be located just beneath the smokehead cradle. The
mains cable should be restrained using the ‘P’ clip situated above the mains inlet to prevent
inadvertent disconnection of the mains supply during use.
OPERATION
Before switching on, ensure that the disk drives are empty so that the computer uses the
hard disk as its program source.
The trolley is switched ON by a rocker switch situated on the right side of the cabinet.
Each time the power is switched on, a ‘self-test’ routine will be initiated to check important
areas of the electronics circuitry. If a fault is detected, a statement will appear on the
screen. This exact statement should be passed on to the Service Office (see back of
manual), or Agent if overseas, to enable the Service Engineer to recognise the fault before
arriving on site. If during normal usage the equipment appears to function abnormally,
switch the mains supply off, wait 10 seconds then turn on again to perform a self-test and
thereby determine if there is a circuit malfunction.
Switch on using the switch on the side of the cabinet; the mains switches of the individual
units (computer, monitor, printer, gas analyser, etc.) should normally be left on.
Note 1:
It is good practice to maintain computer based equipment at an even temperature. If your
garage is subject to large temperature variations it is recommended that you leave the unit
ON at all times. The monitor can be turned off at night using its own mains switch.
Continuous power gives two advantages - less thermal cycling of the computer and a faster
gas/smoke module warm-up at low ambient temperatures.
Note 2:
ALWAYS exit the application program you are running and return to the main menu screen
before switching the equipment off (use to the shut down icon on the desktop screen). This
will ensure that all ‘Windows’ files are correctly closed and that the equipment programs are
in a tidy condition before powering down.
