Diagnostic Startup Sequence
When the switcher is powered up or resets for any reason (as when a DIP Switch is changed), it
performs a series of self-tests, signaling progress using the DIP Array on the 504001 processor
board. The startup self-test sequence is fast but provides important diagnostic checks. The
sequence is as follows:
LED Startup Diganostics Sequence
Startup
Sequence
Initial LED
Combination
Operation
1
ALL LEDS Flash quickly for about one second, immediately after
startup (after initializing the processor registers). This
indicates that the processor is up and running an that the
LEDs all work.
2
LED1
Checksum of the EPROM is computed, and if not 0
(zero), LED #1 is flashed for about 3 seconds, then
normal operation begins. The makefile uses the cksmfile
utitlity to set the last EPROM byte so that the checksum
will be 0 (zero).
3
LED2
The external non-battery RAM is tested using a pseudo-
random number generator to generate random values. If
any location tests bad, LED #2 is flashed for about 3
seconds, then normal operation begins.
4
LED3
The external battery RAM is tested by complementing
each byte twice. If any location tests bad, LED #3 is
flashed for about 3 seconds, then normal operation
begins. The value of DIP0 is displayed on the LEDs for
one second, then the DIP1 values is displayed for one
second. This allows the DIP switches to be tested.
5
LED4
LED #4 is turned on, signaling system test has been
completed, and normal operation begins. LEDs should
begin normal cycling/counting operation.
