4 – FALCON PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
The initial step when attempting to service the Falcon, is to perform a complete system diagnostic
performance testing. The diagnostic performance is performed through the Falcon software, and requires
the use of a complete service kit.
The performance testing is conducted when the Falcon is connected to a computer which is loaded with
the Falcon software. At the end of the testing a PDF report that summarizes all of the test results can be
generated for documentation purposes.
To get started, turn on the Falcon power and start the Falcon software. From the main screen, click on the
little Help icon on the bottom right of the screen (the little “i”), and select
Service/Diagnostics/Performance. A window opens, requesting to enter the technician password.
NOTE – only authorized service personnel are allowed to perform any service activities with the Falcon.
The technician password is: via123$
After entering the correct PW, a window opens requiring to enter the system serial number (S/N) and the
testers’ name. In the S/N section enter in the first field the first 3 digits of the Falcon S/N, and in the
second field the last 2 digits (marking the production year). After pressing the OK button, the Falcon
diagnostics protocol is loaded to the main screen, and a Help page opens to explain the next test. A
similar help page opens before each step in the test protocol. The tester can reload the respective Help
page for each test at any time with the HELP button on the right hand side. Once the tester presses the
Start button, the first diagnostic test automatically starts. For each test, the text to the right of the protocol
list guides the tester on what to do or what to expect.
4.1 Tube Connection Test
Objective: The objective of this test is to check that all of the internal tubing in the Falcon are
connected correctly.
Setup
: Prior to starting the test, the 10-tube sub-assembly (PVC0064) should be connected to the
Falcon, and the external side of all tubes (the cuff side) should be open to air.
