6. Operation
To switch on the DPSI RV, the 2 mm (0.08”) pin plug is pulled from the
disconnect socket (black) and plugged into the turn-on socket (red).
The red, ultra light LED in the switch and on the circuit board of the
DPSI RV (not DPSI 2001 RV) light up. This signals operation.
Immediately after switching on, the signal transmitter (buzzer) plays
back the programmed battery type (one, two, three, four or five beeps).
Following this, the algorithm for error detection (or voltage monitoring)
is started.
If one of the batteries is not connected, the DPSI RV starts in
programming mode. This program mode is automatically abandoned
after approximately 22 seconds. During this approximately 22-second
interval, the missing battery must not be connected unless new
programming of the battery type is desired.
Hint:
If the DPSI RV buzzer sounds for 3 seconds right after turning on, only one
battery is connected to the DPSI RV and the device starts working in the
programming mode. If no reprogramming is desired, one can either turn the DPSI
RV off or wait for approximately 30 seconds and connect the second battery.
Hint:
A wrong battery type is probably programmed should the DPSI RV sound error
codes shortly after turning on the device even with fully charged batteries.
Possibly a battery is used, with a too high internal resistance and breaking down
under heavy load (e.g. NiMH batteries in “AA” -Mignon size). Therefore, only
batteries with high current load capability are to be used!
In the case of a lost pin, you can help yourself by using a 2 mm (0.08”)
wire or screw, which is simply put into the corresponding socket in
order to the DPSI RV on or off.
