TEST
The Temperature Chart Recorder can be completely tested using a simple check of the green LED indicator (Figure 1,
Item 1) on the unit. Depending on the condition of the light, certain requirements exist for the unit. A steady green
LED, with cartridge pens operating within the chart range, indicates that the temperature chart recorder is functioning
normally.
Using a combination of green LED indication and pen position, the temperature chart recorder operating conditions
can be tested. The following LED indications shown in Table 1 indicate the temperature chart recorder operating
condition.
