3.4 Using the Diagnostic Display
The Platinum Z Series transmitters utilizes a very unique and powerful diagnostic
system. The diagnostic system is actually your interface to the inner workings of the
transmitter. It is used for Status, Metering, Fault Logging, Configuration and even
hardware and software Testing of the controller. A good working knowledge of the
diagnostic system is crucial to proper transmitter maintenance and operation.
Familiarization with the display and its operation should be quick and easy. Simply
press the HOME key and follow the menus. A drawing labelled “Diagnostics
Display Menu Tree” is included in the schematic package. This drawing shows all
of the menus and screens available in the Diagnostic display system. Note that the
drawings are divided into layers from left to right, with Layer 1 considered the
HOME layer at the left and successive layers to the right.
The diagnostic system consists of the LCD Diagnostic display and 6 function keys,
HOME, BACK and the four selection keys on the right side of the LCD screen.
NOTE:
For all discussions pertaining to the Diagnostic system, the four function keys
to the right side of the Diagnostic LCD display will be called A, B, C and D
from top to bottom as in Figure 3-2. This figure also shows the default screen
which will show up when the controller is first turned on or after being idle
for 15 minutes.
