Note: The 2500’s power-up self-test takes approximately two minutes to
complete.
3. Confirm that the high air pressure gauge on the 2500 is reading 75 PSI
(see page 2-7). When the adjustment is correct, push the adjustment
knob in toward the back of the handler to lock its position.
4. Confirm that the low air pressure gauge is reading 25 PSI. When the
adjustment is correct, push the adjustment knob in toward the back
of the handler to lock it in position.
Checking System
Communication
To confirm that communication between TaskLink and the 2500’s
programming electronics has been established, press
C
TRL
+
F1
on the PC
keyboard.
Note: The 2500’s power-up self-test takes approximately two minutes to
complete. During this time, TaskLink will not be able to establish
communication with the 2500.
If they are communicating correctly, a green box appears with the
following message:
Contact with programmer established
If there is a problem, a red box appears with the following message:
Attempting to contact programmer...
and the screen will suggest several troubleshooting steps to correct the
problem.
To confirm that communication between TaskLink and the Remote port
on the 2500 has been established, press
C
TRL
+
F2
on the PC keyboard.
If correct communication is occurring, a green box appears with the
following message:
Contact with handler established.
If there is a problem, a red box appears with this message:
Attempting to contact handler ...
and the screen will suggest several troubleshooting actions to take.
If TaskLink cannot contact the programmer, check the following:
• Ensure that the two RS-232C cables are connected properly (COM1 to
Programmer port, COM2 to Remote port).
• Ensure that your PC does not assign two RS-232C ports to the same
IRQ. Your system will not communicate with the Programmer Port if
two COM Ports are assigned to the same IRQ.
• Ensure that someone has not changed TaskLink’s port settings from
their default values. If they have, restore them to their default
settings and check the port communication.
• You should be using the RS-232C cables supplied with the system.

Switching Between
Local and Remote
Modes
As discussed in Chapter 1, the 2500 uses two methods to communicate
with the operator. Ninety-five per cent of the interaction will be through
the TaskLink screens and PC keyboard. The remaining five per cent of
the interaction is through the 2500’s keyboard and display. When the
system is initially shipped from the factory, it is configured to
communicate with TaskLink.
There are two key points to remember about these modes:
1. When you are using TaskLink, the 2500 is operating in
Remote mode
.
The 2500 displays the message
PROMASTER REMOTE MODE.
2. When you are entering commands on the 2500’s keyboard, the
system is either:
•in
Local mode
, or
• running a Task and you have pressed
STOP
on the keyboard to
make an adjustment. A complete list of STOP commands is
located in Appendix B.
If the 2500 powers up in local mode, you can switch to remote mode by
pressing
LOWER CASE
+
R
(for
remote
) on the 2500’s keyboard. The 2500
displays
The 2500 remains in remote mode until you change it by pressing
LOWER CASE
+
L
(for
local
) on the 2500’s keyboard. The 2500 powers
up in the mode it was in when last turned off. This will be remote mode
when operating with TaskLink.
Default 2500 System
Configuration
Listed below are the default settings for the ProMaster 2500 system. The
procedures for changing these parameters are described in relevant
sections of the manual. Under most circumstances, you will use these

system, and start creating Tasks.
