12.2 Restart the Ikus
Warning!
• Only switch off and restart the Ikus when requested to do so by service (e.g. in emergency
operating mode).
• The power switch (mains power switch) on the Ikus must always remain on ON/EIN -
even when the Ikus is switched off! The only exception is battery mode: Before switching
to battery mode, move the power switch (mains power switch) to the OFF/Aus [O]
position. Immediately after restoring the power connection, move the power switch back
to the ON/Ein [I] position.
• If the curves in the monitoring program are at a standstill and the parameters cannot be
adjusted even after restarting the laptop and monitoring program, the Ikus works in
emergency pulse mode. In this case, do not proceed as described here. Proceed
according to section 12.3, “Emergency pulse mode”, p. 79.
Note
• If the Ikus is only restarted after a controlled shutdown, the Ikus runs through the start
test and all of its parameters must be set again (see page 81).
• If the Ikus is inadvertently switched off at the key switch and immediately restarted, the
Ikus resumes working with the last set parameters. If the Ikus is only restarted after more
than five minutes, the Ikus runs through the start test and all of its parameters must be
set again. If the parameters are not set again, the Ikus works with the default standard
parameters (see page 81).
