Automated Tests
The Efficia DFM100 performs many maintenance activities including three tests that run
automatically at regularly scheduled intervals when power is supplied and the device is off. The tests
assess operational performance and alert you if a problem exists.
Results of tests associated with critical device functionality are reported through the RFU indicator
and the Automated Test Summary Report. Results are also reported through statements on the
Efficia DFM100’s display when the device is turned on. Ta bl e 4 5 provides a brief explanation of the
tests and lists each test’s frequency.
NOTE: If the DFM100 is turned on in the middle of an automated test, the test stops and the device starts
in normal operating mode.
