3.0 SET-UP AND PROGRAMMING
3.1. START-UP AND SELF TEST
Turn on the power switch located on the side of the TPM-903B controller. The unit will reset and
clear the system, then perform a Power On Self-Test (POST) which takes approximately ten
seconds. The tests are displayed on the screen as they are run, if any test fails, the system will be
halted. The problem must be corrected before operation can commence.
The alarm will be turned on for about four seconds. If all the tests have been completed
successfully the system will go into the BACKGROUND Mode. The initial background
acquisition takes twenty seconds.
When the background is complete, system status will be displayed. The status screen consists of
four lines:
GAMMA = nnnn (background or COUNT, in CPS)
READY (system status, READY, TAMPER, OCCUPIED)
# OCC: (number of occupancies)
mm/dd/yy hh:mm (date and time)
The system is now ready for programming and set-up.
3.2. SET-UP
The TPM-903B is fully calibrated at the factory. It is possible that these adjustments may be
affected during shipment, so the calibration should be verified using the Field Calibration
Procedures in Section 5.1.
The TPM-903B controller is a variation of the SC-770, a general purpose controller that is used
in several different systems. It has many user programmable parameters that can be used to
optimize it for a wide variety of applications. Refer to Section 3.4 for details on programming the
controller.
