5.2-6 Section 5: Using the Model 9100 — Procedure Mode: Safety and General Notes
Final Width = 215mm
5.2.5.2 Stage-by-Stage Results Saving
The 9100 internal program will generate and save results at the conclusion of each stage
in the UUT adjustment or verification procedure. The end of each stage is marked by the
use of the 'OK', 'PASS' or 'FAIL' screen key on the front panel (or, of course, by the
equivalent use of a mouse).
5.2.5.3 Results Memory Space
After a 'Procedure' memory card is created, an estimate of the results memory requirement
for each procedure is calculated and written on to the card.
When in use, before the first results for a procedure are written into the 'Results' card, the
9100 system will review the free memory space on the card. If this is less than 150% of
the procedure's estimated results requirement, the user will be warned to insert a different
card.
5.2.5.4 Static RAM Card — Non-Rechargeable Battery Condition
Battery Voltage Monitoring
Each Static RAM card is powered by its own battery which maintains the non-volatile
status of its RAM. While a results card is present in the 'RESULTS' slot, the 9100
continuously monitors the battery voltage state. When the voltage falls to approach a
failure condition, a warning is given on the 9100 screen.
Changing the Battery
With the card present in the 'RESULTS' slot, the RAM is powered from 9100 power
supplies, so it is possible to pull out the battery module from the card and insert a new
module without losing the stored data.
5.2.5.5 Static RAM Card — Rechargeable Battery
Battery Charging
Each Static RAM card is powered by its own battery which maintains the non-volatile
status of its RAM. While a results card is present in the 'RESULTS' slot, with the 9100
powered ON, the battery will be recharged. The specified recharge times are 8 hours to
60% capacity, and 40 Hours to 100% capacity. If the card battery charge is low when the
card is inserted into the 'RESULTS' slot, a low battery warning may be given on the 9100
screen, during the initial charge period of up to 40 seconds.
Battery Access and Life
The battery is not accessible to be changed in these cards, but the retention time between
chargings is in excess of six months.
