Xylem H-5223 - Manual (Page 26)

Date:
This is a status screen that shows the current date. There is no option here to change the
date. To change the date use the ‘Configure System’ menu.
Scanning:
This is a status screen that shows if scanning is on or off. To turn scanning on or off use
the ‘Scan Setup’ menu.
Next Scan:
This is a count down timer until the next scan.
GOES Mode:
This identifies the current GOES Mode of operation. If the GOES radio is not
functioning a N/A will be displayed. Normally the N/A would only be displayed if the
system is or was operating on a low battery. Remove power for a few seconds and then
reconnect it. Make sure the battery is charged properly.
Battery:
There are three battery voltages listed: current voltage, maximum voltage measured, and
minimum voltage measured. The minimum and maximum values are mainly listed for
diagnostic reasons. If the minimum voltage is too low it may indicate that the battery is
being undercharged. If the maximum battery reading is too high it may indicate a faulty
regulator. The system will work properly between 11.5 and 15 volts. If the battery drops
below 11.5 then the radio will stop transmitting, but logging will continue. If the battery
voltage drops below 10.0 volts then the system stops logging and enters a low power
mode waiting for the power to be restored. Once the battery voltage raises to a normal
level the system will start logging and transmitting again.
System Resets:
This value shows how many times the system has been reset. A system reset can be
caused by several conditions; a loss of power, a power glitch or surge, a watchdog timer
resetting the system are a few. Normally a user will make sure this value is reset to ‘0'
before leaving the site on a site visit, then on the next visit checking this value to see if
any resets have occurred between the last visit an the current visit.
Version:
This is the current firmware version used by the system. New firmware versions may be
downloaded from the manufactures web page and loaded into the system by the user.
After a new version is loaded it is best to see that the checksum test still passes.
R - Reset Batt & Resets:
This option resets the Max and Min Battery voltage values to the current battery voltage
and resets the number of system resets to zero. When servicing a gauge site, use this
option to reset the battery values to the current battery value and to reset the number of
3-4 Remote Operation (Menu Mode)
