computer.
This feature is available only through the Service Terminal Interface.
To back up any of the alarm, event or trend logs:
1. Connect to the AC8 either from a remote computer or through the RS232 port (see
A.2 - Connecting to the Service Terminal Interface).
2. At the Main Menu, enter 9 (Backup Log Files).
3. At the Backup Log Files menu, as shown below, enter a number for the type of file you want to
back up:
Enter 1 to back up the Alarm Log
Enter 2 to back up the Event Log
Enter 3 to back up the Trend Log for the first sensor (Sensor_1)
Enter 4 to back up the Trend Log for the second sensor (Sensor_2)
Enter 5 to back up the Trend Log for the third sensor (Sensor_3)
Enter 6 to back up the Trend Log for the fourth sensor (Sensor_4)
4. At the prompt to initiate a backup of the selected log file, enter Y (Yes - begin) or N (No - cancel),
then press Enter. The current setting appears in brackets—[N] in the following example.
