1.3 BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
This section contains general information on
the battery management system. Included
is information on how the power supply
processor monitors and maintains the
battery, controls the system on/off for the
rest of the instrument and provides support
functions for the main processor.
The battery management system consists of
the power supply processor
IC and various
sensors and signal processing circuits.
The power supply processor performs the
following functions:
• Controls battery charger.
• Provides a battery status "battery gauge".
• Monitors battery voltage and temperature.
• Controls instrument power source (on/off
function).
The power supply processor communicates
with the main processor via a serial data
channel. The main processor issues
commands to the battery manager which
then responds with status information and
data using this channel.
1.3.1 Battery and Charging Process
The battery pack is a
10-cell (1.2V per cell),
high capacity nickel metal hydride (
type, rated at
a minimum of
12 volts and 4 amp-hours (with
500 charge cycles). It has a
built-in temperature sensor which allows
the battery manager to monitor battery
temperature.

1.3.1 Battery and Charging Process
(Continued)
• Self-resetting thermal fuse at 70° C.
• Self-resetting current limit sense at
5A.
The battery charge circuit charges the
battery with a constant current of
2A
whenever the power supply processor turns
the charger on. The power supply processor
regulates average charge current by turning
the charger on and off with the appropriate
duty ratio. The battery charge cycle consists
of
4 modes: fast charge, float charge,
terminates charge, and top-up charge.
• Fast Charge: Fast charge is initiated
whenever the battery is between
and
27° C, and has been discharged by
more than
200 amp-seconds through
10° C
actual use or self discharge. Leaving
the instrument unplugged for a day
would cause about
200 amp-seconds of
self discharge. The charge current is a
continuous
2A. The end of a fast charge
is detected when the temperature of the
battery is at least
a rate of
0.7° C/min. (or 1.4A depending
on system load at
30° C and increases at
0.6° C/min.) above its
temperature at start of charge, or when
the battery voltage declines by
50 mV
below its peak value, or total charge time
exceeds
2.6 hours.
• Float Charge: The float charge phase
begins at the end of the top-up phase and
helps maintain a fully charged battery.
This phase charges at an average rate of
225 mA and 1 second per minute.
• Terminates Charge: The power supply
processor does not allow charging to
begin unless the temperature is
The power supply processor terminates
charge if battery temperature drops below
10° C or rises above 55° C.
1.3.2 System On/Off
The power supply processor provides the
interface between system on/off switch and
the main processor. When the instrument
is off, the power supply processor interprets
either power switch as a turn on command
and applies power to the rest of the
instrument, informing the main processor
the switch was pressed. Once power is on,
further presses of a power switch are passed
on to the main processor which determines
the appropriate response under the existing
conditions. If the response is to turn the
power off, the main processor requests that
the power supply processor remove power
from the rest of the instrument.
If an error has been detected which causes
the watchdog to be in alarm, a push of either
power switch will immediately cause the
power to be turned off, without intervention
by the power supply processor.
10 -40°C.
• Top-Up Charge: The top-up charge
phase begins at the end of the fast
charge phase and finishes adding the last
few percent of charge to the battery and
balances individual cell charges. This
phase charges at an average rate of
0.4A.

1.3.4 Battery Maintenance
CAUTION
Use only batteries approved by CareFusion,
due to battery manager requirements and
the thermostat contained in the battery
assembly. If the instrument has been in
storage, connect it to
AC power before
turning it on. One refresh cycle is usually
sufficient to restore battery capacity. If
necessary, repeat the procedure at
intervals,
2 or 3 times, to increase capacity.
24-hour
Several features are included in the battery
manager to help properly maintain the
battery.
• A battery capacity measurement is
available in diagnostic mode.
• A special circuit removes all load from
battery when voltage falls too low,
preventing damage from over-discharge
due to long-term storage.
NiMH batteries can be stored no more than
6 months (3 months in instrument) with no
load but will self-discharge from a charged
state in about
100 days. This does not
damage the battery as it would if it were
a lead-acid type battery. Connect the
instrument to
AC to recharge batteries.
Disposal
There are no federal, state or local laws
managing the disposal of
NiMH batteries are recyclable. To learn
about recycling batteries at
NiMH batteries.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.4 BATTERY CAPACITY INFORMATION
All batteries have specific conditions
under which they are guaranteed to meet
their published specifications. Deviations
from these conditions typically result
in a reduction of available capacity.
Manufacturers of
NiMH batteries rate
capacities, usually expressed in Ah
(Ampere-hours), based on a specified "ideal"
charge and discharge condition as well as
the use of a new battery.
An ideal charge cycle starts with a fully
discharged battery charged at
C/10 (C is
rated capacity in Ah) constant current for
15 hours while at room temperature. For
example, a
for
15 hours at 180 mA constant current with
a room temperature of
1.8 Ah battery would be charged
23° C.
The ideal discharge starts with a fully
charged battery under a
C/5 constant current
load at room temperature, discharging to
a cell voltage of
0.9V . The rated capacity
is then calculated as the time to discharge
divided by
discharged at
not reach
5. A 1.8 Ah cell would be
360 mA constant current and
0.9V for at least 5 hours. A given
battery type has different capacities based
on the load. For example, a battery rated
at
1.8 Ah at a 360 mA load may have only
1.6 Ah at a 1600 mA load.
There are many conditions which can
affect the battery capacity. The following
conditions have the most practical impact on
battery capacity delivered in this instrument.
• Battery Alarm Voltage: The battery
alarm voltage is the voltage at which the
instrument stops operating and generates
an alarm indicating the instrument needs
to be connected to
perfect conditions, a battery of
AC power. Under
10 cells
connected in series reaches the end
of discharge at
9.0V; however, cells
are not perfectly matched so some will
reach
0.9V before others. The problem
occurs when a cell in series with other
cells can go below
0.9V and actually go
into cell reversal, which permanently
damages the particular cell. On the
other hand, increasing the alarm voltage
to compensate for imperfectly matched
cells results in reduced run times with
available capacity. The user sees this
as premature low battery warnings and
alarms. The instrument deals with this by
increasing the alarm voltage to guarantee
the battery is not damaged and reduce
the assumed capacity to below that
printed on the battery. The battery gauge
is intended to show the minimum run time
left on the battery taking all these factors
into account.
• Charge Rate: The ideal charge rate
requires
15 hours to get to full charge,
which is undesirable from the user’s
perspective. The instrument provides a
multiphase charge cycle which results in
about
80% capacity in the first 2 hours
after fast charge. The next charge
phase, top-up, is designed to finish the
charge and to bring all individual cells
to the fully charged state, essentially
rematching them. See the "Battery and
Charging Process" section in this chapter
for "Fast Charge" and "Top-Up Charge"
information. If the top-up charge is not
completed, the cell mismatch is not
reduced and the cumulative capacity
reduction occurs. Top-up is a
3-hour
charge but the elapsed time to complete
it may be over
5 hours, as the charger is
turned on and off to keep the battery cool
during that time.

GENERAL INFORMATION
1.4 BATTERY CAPACITY INFORMATION
(Continued)
• Cycle Life and Aging: Batteries
wear out as they get older and go
through many charge/discharge cycles;
the chemicals and materials used to
construct the cell break down. The
instrument deals with this by assuming
that a battery will continually reduce
capacity at a rate equivalent to
4 years and continually reduce capacity
at a rate equivalent to
30% per 200 full
30% over
charge cycles. These calculated values
are used to reduce the run time displayed
on the battery gauge.
• Partial Discharge/Recharge: When
a battery is partially discharged and
then charged for less than the full time,
differences between individual cell
capacities result in cells completing
charge at different times. If the full
charge sequence is not completed, the
cell mismatch becomes progressively
greater. This is viewed by the user as low
apparent run times and premature low
battery warning and alarms. The problem
is cumulative in that the mismatch
increases for every partial cycle. The
lowered capacity is not permanent but
may require
2-3 full discharge/charge
cycles to recover. The instrument
deals with this by reducing the run time
displayed based on a limited history of
partial cycles.
• Temperature During Charge: As the
effective ambient temperature of the
battery increases, the amount of charge
that the battery will accept decreases.
At an ambient temperature of
35° C, an
enclosed battery will temporarily accept
only about
otherwise accept at
90% of the charge it would
23° C.
1.5 POLE CLAMP FEATURE
The PC Unit’s pole clamp adapts to a wide
variety of surfaces, to provide versatility.
The pole clamp features include:
• Ergonomically designed knob.
• Accommodates diameters from
3
1
/8 inches (15.9 to 34.9 mm).
• Vertical or horizontal orientation, allowing
it to adapt to both
IV poles and bed rails.
If pole-mounted, the system should be
mounted in an upright position during
operation, to provide maximum stability and
display readability.

4.3 PUMP MODULE
All circuit boards are not field repairable and
must be returned to a CareFusion Service
Center for repair.
The Pump Module is used to pump fluid
to the patient in a controlled manner. The
PC Unit supplies the Pump Module with
all power requirements and interface logic
control. Even though the Pump Module
has its own Logic Board, it must receive its
commands from a PC Unit to function.
The Pump Module has an internal highstrength frame which supports all internal
and external assemblies. When the door is
opened, a spring loaded platen swings back
with the door, allowing an administration set
to be installed. The set interface is visible
with the door open and interfaces with the
Pump Module through the following devices.
• Air-in-Line Detector: The air-in-line
detector uses
2 sensor assemblies.
When the administration set is installed,
the lower portion of the set (just below
pumping segment) is installed into the
air-in-line detector. When the tubing is
installed into this detector, the transmitting
transducer sends an ultrasonic signal
through the tubing. If there is fluid in the
tubing, the receiver receives a strong
signal and a low signal (through a logic
circuit), which indicates to the Logic
Board that there is fluid in the tubing and
pumping can continue. If there is air in
the tubing, the receiver receives a very
weak signal and a high signal (through a
logic circuit), which indicates to the Logic
Board that there is air in the tubing. This
prompts the Logic Board to stop pumping
and sounds the air-in-line alarm.
• Door Open Sensor: This sensor is part
of the sensor assembly and is comprised
of an
LED/phototransistor pair, which are
biased by the end of the sear when the
door is fully closed.
• Safety Clamp Detector: The
safety clamp detector has an
LED/
phototransistor pair that are biased when
the safety clamp detector is installed,
allowing the Logic Board to determine if a
set is installed. When the door is closed
on the administration set, the safety
clamp detector automatically opens,
pump fingers are engaged to stop fluid
flow, and the Pump Module is ready to
pump fluid. When the door is opened,
the safety clamp detector automatically
closes and stops fluid flow.

4.3 PUMP MODULE (Continued)
• Pressure Sensors, Upper and Lower:
The pressure sensors sense the pressure
in the tubing by converting the pressure
to a voltage. The Logic Board detects
bottle-side as well as patient-side
pressures by looking at these voltages.
If the voltage (pressure) is high or low
enough, the Pump Module signals an
occlusion alarm.
• Pumping Fingers: There are
fingers. Two of these are considered
occluders (identified by their small profile),
in that their primary function is to prevent
fluid flow by the phasing of the
fingers. The primary function of the
2 pumping fingers (identified by their
larger profile) is to pump fluid.
The fingers cycle toward the tubing to
push fluid to the patient and then cycle
back to fill the tubing. The occluders
cycle toward the tubing to control flow
throughout the delivery. The occluders
and fingers work together to form
2 chambers. Both occluders and the
upper (larger) finger form the upper
chamber and the lower occluder, and
lower (smaller) finger form the lower
chamber, which is open-ended to the
patient.
At the start of the pumping cycle:
- Upper occluder is pushed forward,
blocking flow.
- Lower occluder is pulled back, allowing
flow.
- Upper finger is cycling forward,
pushing fluid from upper chamber
past lower occluder and lower finger
(toward patient).
4 pumping
2 pumping
When the upper finger has cycled forward
as far as it can:
- Lower occluder cycles forward to stop
flow.
- Lower finger starts to cycle forward to
keep fluid flowing from lower chamber
toward patient.
- Upper occluder cycles back to allow
fluid flow and upper finger cycles back
to fill upper chamber.
When the lower finger gets to the point
where it can no longer move forward to
displace fluid:
- Upper occluder moves forward to stop
flow (upper chamber should now be
full).
- Lower occluder moves back to allow
flow.
- Upper finger starts to move forward to
push fluid to patient.
- Lower finger cycles back to fill lower
chamber, getting ready for next cycle.

4.3.3 Motor Controller Board Assembly:
The motor drive logic signals are generated
by the Logic Board and fed to the power
drive circuits on the Motor Controller Board.
These circuits drive the
5-phase stepper
motor, which is used to drive a cam shaft
that biases the pumping fingers, to generate
pressurized fluid flow to the patient (pressure
depends on many variables but will not
exceed maximum design pressure). The
Motor Controller Board also monitors the
motor's needs and supplies the correct
amount of motor drive voltage, depending on
a number of variables, not the least of which
is load. This ensures an adequate amount
of power is available to the motor at all
times. The motor speed is based on the rate
settings signal sent by the microprocessor.

4.5 INTER-UNIT COMMUNICATIONS
®
CIRCUIT AND CONNECTIONS
Software within the PC Unit and all
attached modules provides bidirectional
communications between a PC Unit and
more attached module. Two pairs of signal
lines are provided in both the left and right
IUI connectors for this purpose:
Transmit + (
Transmit _ (
Receive + (
Receive _ (
TxD [+])
_
TxD [
RxD [+])
RxD [
])
_
])
Each pair of signals (transmit or receive)
is a differential pair, which allows rejection
of common mode noise appearing on the
signal pairs. The transmit pair originates
communications from the PC Unit to
more attached module. The receive pair
originates communications from
more attached module to the PC Unit, in
response to a communications request from
the PC Unit. This allows the PC Unit to
coordinate communications from multiple
function modules on a common transmit/
receive bus.
Bidirectional communications between
the PC Unit and each attached module
can range from a simple "report status"
interaction to an extensive dialogue, to
change operational parameters or transfer
operating event history. At the start of each
attempted dialogue, the PC Unit software
sets a timer at the maximum time allowed
for the attached module to respond. If
the attached module does not respond
in the allotted time, the timer expires
and the PC Unit software determines a
communications failure.

Software within the PC Unit and attached
modules provides for communications during
the following times.
Prior to logical unit ID assignment:
Communications consist only of that required
to assign unit
IDs. The UNIT
_ID_
ENABLE
signals control access to the communication
channels.
After logical unit ID assignment:
Communications between the PC Unit and
attached modules use the assigned unit
to communicate to, and receive responses
from,
1 attached module at a time.
4.5.1 Software
Software running within the interface and
attached module performs the following key
aspects of
IUI functionality:
• Controls state of unit detect line.
• Reads state of incoming
ID_ENABLE_IN
line.
• Controls state of outgoing
OUT
line.
ID_ENABLE
• Performs bidirectional communications
between PC Unit and
1 or more attached
module.
4.5.2 Unit Detection and Identification
Circuitry
Unit (module) detection is required to detect:
• presence of attached modules
• new module attachment
• module detachment
ID
_
Unit (module) identification is used to:
• identify attached module type
• logically assign module designation
based on physical location
• designate inter-unit communications to
and from a specific module
A combination of
2 signal lines is used
to accomplish module detection and, in
conjunction with inter-unit communications,
accomplish module identification.
Unit Detect Line:
The unit detect line from the
is read by PC Unit software as
DETECT
. This allows the PC Unit to
IUI connectors
_
UNIT
determine when modules are attached to the
left or to the right.
The
UNIT_DETECT line originates from
the PC Unit and passes through each
attached module. The
UNIT_DETECT signal
is normally logically high due to circuitry
within the PC Unit. Circuitry connected to
the
UNIT_DETECT line within each attached
module is able to pull the
UNIT_DETECT
line logically low under control of the
microprocessor within the PC Unit. The
logical state of the
UNIT_DETECT signal is
able to be read by the microprocessor to
determine if any module attached to the left
is pulling the signal low.
ID ENABLE IN Line:
Software within each attached module reads
the state of the incoming
ID_ENABLE_IN
line. The state of this signal is used by the
software to determine whether the module
can respond to unit
ID assignment messages
from the PC Unit. If this signal is high, the
attached module is able to respond to unit
ID
assignment messages. If this signal is low,
the module is not able to respond to unit
ID
assignment messages.

4.5.3 IUI
When a module is attached to the PC Unit,
it is connected through the
is
4 attached modules per PC Unit. The
IUI. The limit
exception is the Auto-ID Module which can
be a fifth module.
The
IUI consists of a left connector and a
right connector, with spring contacts. These
connectors are used to attach a module to
a PC Unit or another module, and provide
physical support and electrical connections.
Mechanical Interface:
The mechanical interface consists
of mechanically supporting electrical
connectors, male on
1 module and female on
the other. These connectors mechanically
interface to attach a module to the PC Unit,
or
1 module to another module (for example,
when
2 modules are attached to 1 side
of PC Unit). In conjunction with these
connectors there is a latching mechanism on
the bottom of each module that helps secure
the
2 modules together. Pushing on the
latching mechanism disengages an attached
®
module. Reference the Alaris
System DFU
for module attachment and detachment
instructions.
Electrical Interface:
The electrical interface between an attached
module and the PC Unit is an integral part
of the mechanical connector, consisting of
15 gold-plated pins. The pins on the module
interface with the pins on the PC Unit, or
another module if more than
1 module is
attached to the same side of the PC Unit.
Table
4-3 is a snapshot of the IUI connector
pin-outs. The electrical portion of the
IUI
consists of the following elements:
• Power control circuitry and connections.
• Module detection, and identification
circuitry and connections.
• Logical module assignment circuitry and
connections.
• Inter-unit communications circuitry and
connections.
• Spare
I/O.
All inter-unit connections are accomplished
through the
IUI connectors located on the left
and right side of each PC Unit and attached
module.

4.5.4 Module Detection and Logical
Designation
Three situations may occur within the
IUI
which require software functionality for the
assignment of a logical designation to an
attached module, based on its physical
position within the Alaris
®
System:
• System On.
• Attachment of
1 or more module to left
after System On.
• Attachment of
1 or more module to right
after System On.
Two additional situations may require
either reassignment of logical designations
and/or enunciation of alarms (see “Module
Detachment” section):
• Attachment of
1 or more module to left
after System On.
• Attachment of
1 or more module to right
after System On.
4. PC Unit sends a message to all
modules to pull unit detect line low.
5. PC Unit sequentially assigns unit
from left to right, starting with "
IDs
A" and
ending when PC Unit senses unit detect
line in high state.
When modules are attached on both sides of
the PC Unit, the PC Unit controls the
D_ENABLE_R
line to modules on the right

until all modules attached to the left have
been identified (
high). The PC Unit then allows the

IDs for modules to the right, still
UNIT_ID_DETECT_L line goes
UNIT_ID
line to go high and sequentially
_
going left to right.
The sequential assignment of the unit
ID
from left to right makes use of the fact that
an attached module only senses a high state
on the
CONNECT_SENSE) when:
ID_ENABLE_IN signal (also called
• Attached module is farthest to left.
OR
• Module to left has completed its unit ID
and sets
ID_ENABLE_OUT signal.
4.5.5 Unit ID Assignment at System On
The basic scheme for assigning unit
(module) position identification at System On
involves the following sequence of events:
1. PC Unit and each attached module
execute a Power On Self Test (
POST),
during which each attached module
clears its unit
ID and, when POST is
complete, pulls unit detect line low.
2. As each module completes its
POST, it
releases unit detect line.
3. When all attached modules have
released unit detect line, PC Unit senses
unit detect line in high state.

All modules have been identified and the
sequence completes when the PC Unit
receives the
ID complete message from the
last module and the unit detect line goes
high. This same scheme is used for any
configuration of up to
4 modules (exception,
Auto-ID Module can be recognized as a fifth
module), ranging from all on the left, all on
the right, or a mix of left and right modules.

4.5.6 Module Attachment After System On
When
1 or more module is attached to the
PC Unit after System On, the following
events must occur:
• Assignment of logical unit
IDs to all newly
attached modules.
• Reassignment of all other modules within
the system to next logical letter; "
becomes "
B", "B" becomes "C", and so
A"
on.
The assignment of logical unit
IDs to a
module newly attached to the left follows a
scheme similar to the power up scheme:
1. Newly attached module pulls
DETECT
line low.
UNIT
_
2. Newly attached module executes its
POST, during which its unit ID is cleared.
3. When each module completes its
it releases
UNIT_DETECT line.

4. When all newly attached modules

6. PC Unit assigns a unit

ID of "A" to left-
most newly attached module.
9. When next module completes setting its
ID, it sets UNIT_ID_ENABLE line high,
unit
which sets
sends an
ID_ENABLE_OUT high and
ID_COMPLETE message to
PC Unit.
When all newly attached modules have
completed the unit
ID, the PC Unit
sequentially assigns a logical unit
remaining modules. However, during the
ID assignment communications dialogue
between the PC Unit and the other attached
modules, each attached module notifies the
PC Unit that it already had a valid unit
and that the new unit
ID is merely a position
reassignment. The PC Unit is therefore able
to reassign all historical and operational data
from the previous unit
ID to the new unit ID,
to maintain data continuity.
4.5.7 Module Detachment
If modules are detached while operating,
the PC Unit, upon detecting the detachment,
gives visual and audible indications
requesting verification. If verification is
received, the PC Unit reassigns logical
unit
IDs similar to attaching a new module.
If verification is not received within a
prescribed time period, the PC Unit places
the system into an alarm state with audible
and visual alarms. This alarm is detected by
the communications time-out between the
PC Unit and the detached modules.

ID of "B"
After all modules in the system have been
identified, the PC Unit begins systematic
bidirectional communication with each
attached module. These communications
can range from a simple "report state”
interaction to an extensive dialogue, to
change operational parameters or transfer
operating event history. In either case, the
Page 53
4.5 INTER-UNIT COMMUNICATIONS
CIRCUIT AND CONNECTIONS
(Continued)
4.5.8 Communications Time-Out (Continued)
PC Unit software initiates communications
with each attached module on a periodic
basis, to ensure system integrity.
At the start of each attempted dialogue,
the PC Unit software sets a timer at the
maximum time allowed for the attached
module to respond. If the attached module
does not respond in the allotted time, the
timer expires and the PC Unit software
determines a communications failure.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
When
1 or more module is detached,
the PC Unit detects the detachment as a
communications time-out with the detached
modules.

Chapter 6 – TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter contains possible technical
problems that can occur while using the
®
Alaris
attempting to service the PC Unit or Pump
Module. Reference the applicable module's
service manual before attempting to service
another module attached to the Alaris
System.
To facilitate troubleshooting when an
operating malfunction occurs, the instrument
alarms and displays an error message
and/or error code. Use the information in
this chapter to help diagnose and correct
technical problems. Use the applicable
maintenance software to perform preventive
maintenance, calibration, and verification
procedures.
System. Refer to this chapter before
®
6.2 ERRORS
Through the use of diagnostic hardware
testing and software error trapping, the
®
Alaris
System ensures that all hardware
and software errors are logged and the
appropriate action is taken. The Error Log,
in contrast to all other logs, is required to
take steps that ensure logging still proceeds
correctly in the face of a compromised
software system. There is provision made
in the Error Log for the storage of a small
amount of error-specific data. All errors are
recorded in this log; specifically, soft faults,
system and channel errors, audio failure, and
rate display failure.
Errors fall into two broad categories,
software and hardware. All software errors
(soft faults) are considered very serious
because they indicate that the system has
become unstable and cannot be relied on
to execute the software correctly, or the
Alaris® PC Unit

TROUBLESHOOTING
6.2 ERRORS (Continued)
software has detected an illegal software
condition and the software system has been
compromised. A hardware error is external
to the
CPU or memory, and does not indicate
an unstable computing environment. The
integrity of the software is still sound and it
can be relied on to handle or report the error
condition.
6.2.1 Error Numbering Scheme
All errors share a common numbering
system:
Subsystem Code Failure Code
XXX .XXXN
XXX
represents the three-digit code that
identifies the hardware subsystem to which
the error appears most closely related, such
as, logic board or pressure sensor.
XXXN represents the subcode that describes
the subsystem failure.
N represents the
numeral that indicates whether the error was
detected at the Power On Self Test (
(
1) or at run time (0 - zero), or if it is a log only
event (
5). The system monitors and logs “log
only” events, which do not affect the overall
®
operation of the Alaris
System. These
non-malfunction events are logged to enable
the PC Unit characteristic in instrument
populations to be tracked. All error events
which end with a value of
5 or 5.5 fall into
the log only category (for example,
or
100.6075.5). A soft fault error code
cannot happen in
POST and in this case
the subcode is defined as the domain that
logged the fault.
POST)
100.6075
There are two additional
32-bit data items
associated with errors. This data is
displayed only in debug builds but is always
logged.
6.3 MAINTENANCE MODE
When in the Maintenance Mode:
• To exit, power system off.
• To return to a previous screen, press
soft key.
• Pressing
EXIT soft key in Maintenance
Mode option screen powers system off
immediately, with no "Powering Down"
display .
To access Maintenance Mode options:
1. Hold down Tamper Resist switch on rear
of PC Unit during power-up. (Reference
