The RESET Switch is used to re-initialize the system hardware by causing it to go to a
known starting state. This switch may be pressed at any time; however, it will do the
following:
• Re initialize System Hardware
• Clear Scratch Memory
• Verify Database and Re initialize if Invalid
• Reset All Timers
• Enable Communications

Hard Reset
A special form of Reset is available for occasions when the battery backed-up data base
must be re initialized. This type of reset, the Hard Reset, can be performed before a
database is downloaded from a host PC.
Caution! The Hard Reset should be used as a last resort if the TankGate is not functioning. A
Hard reset clears the installed database. For the Hard Reset procedure, refer to the
Troubleshooting and Maintenance chapter.
