If the level check fails, the receiver beeps twice and displays an error screen:
Level Test Failed Screen
Click Retry and repeat the test as described above. If the check fails again, contact DCI
Customer Service.
Perform System Self-Test
Select this option to perform a system self-test. The receiver will perform tests on
microcontroller communication, DSP communication, DSP FPGA communication,
supply voltage, EEPROM, real-time clock module, system memory, and the
accelerometer.
The receiver will beep four times after a successful system self-test and display the Receiver
Startup Screen shown on page xiii. Click the trigger to return to the Diagnostics menu.
If the receiver returns any other results, contact DCI Customer Service.
Perform Signal Self-Test
This option tests the signal between the receiver and a transmitter. Perform this
test only in a low-noise environment with minimal interference. The transmitter
signal strength as displayed in the Locate Mode Screen (see page xxviii) must be
less than 55 counts. This test will indicate if the signal levels on the selected
frequency’s channels are below a reasonable level.
Perform the following steps with each transmitter frequency used: 1.3 kHz, 8.4 kHz, 12 kHz,
18.5 kHz, and/or 19.2 kHz.
1. Turn on a transmitter and set the receiver to the correct frequency. Set the transmitter
approximately ten feet away in a low noise environment of 55 counts or less.
2. On the receiver, click the Signal Self-Test icon.
3. The locate screen displays a message indicating the test is in progress.
