TB8100 Service Kit User’s Manual Carrying Out Diagnostic Tests 169Carrying Out Diagnostic TestsMost diagnostic tests are carried out in a similar way. The following describeshow to do it.When you start a test, it uses the base station’s existing settings such as frequencyand level, unless you enter different values. When you stop a test or it comes toan end, the base station always returns to the configuration it was in before thetest began. For example, after making a test transmission at a manually selectedfrequency, the base station reverts to the frequency it was previously configuredfor.To carry out a diagnostic test1. Connect and log on to the base station. You can be remotely connected,but you do need to be on site to test the control panel and the speaker.2. Click Diagnose.3. Click Mode and select Standby mode.4. In the navigation pane, select an item. The corresponding form appears.5. In the form, check the base station’s current status and click Start Test.This either carries out the test or it enables other buttons on the form so thatyou can carry out a test. The item in the navigation pane turns red and theStart Test button changes to Stop Test.During the test, the base station will respond to any faults that occur (if, forexample, the PA overheats, it will fold the power back) but there will be noalarm notification, because Task Manager is not active in Standby mode.6. If desired, you can navigate to other forms to view monitoring screens,check the base station’s configuration. Some tests also allow you tosimultaneously carry out other tests.7. If necessary, click Stop Test to end the test (some tests end automatically).Selecting Run mode or disconnecting the Service Kit also ends the test.
