Part, Operation Configuration Mode Introduction

PART 3 OPERATION: Configuration Mode

3.1 Introduction

The instrument has two different modes of operation. The first, Run Mode, is used to display values for the Process Variable, and to display or clear Peak and Valley values. The other mode, Menu Configuration Mode, is used to navigate through the menu options and configure the controller. Part 3 of this manual will explain the Menu Configuration Mode. For your instrument to operate properly, the user must first "program" or configure the menu options.

Turning your Controller On for the First Time

The device becomes active as soon as it is connected to a power source. It has no On or Off switch. The device at first momentarily shows the software version number, followed by reset RST, and then proceeds to the Run Mode.

For first-time users: Refer to the QuickStart Manual for basic operation and set-up instructions.

If you have the Serial Communications/Ethernet Option you can easily configure the controller on your computer or on-line.

Table 3.1 Button Function in Configuration Mode

•To enter the Menu, the user must first press a button.

a• Use this button to advance/navigate to the next menu item. The user can navigate

MENU	through all the top level menus by pressing a.

•While a parameter is being modified, press a to escape without saving the parameter.

•Press the up b button to scroll through “flashing” selections. When a numerical value is displayed press this key to increase value of a parameter that is currently being modified.

b• Holding the b button down for approximately 3 seconds will speed up the rate at which

(UP)	the set point value increments.

•In the Run Mode press b causes the display to flash the PEAK value – press again to return to the Run Mode.

•Press the down c button to go back to a previous Top Level Menu item.

•Press this button twice to reset the controller to the Run Mode.

•When a numerical value is flashing (except set point value) press c to scroll digits from

cleft to right allowing the user to select the desired digit to modify.

	(DOWN)	• When a setpoint value is displayed press c to decrease value of a setpoint that is
	(DOWN)	currently being modified. Holding the c button down for approximately 3 seconds will

		speed up the rate at which the setpoint value is decremented.
		• In the Run Mode press c causes the display to flash the VALLEY value – press again to
		return to the Run Mode.

		• Press the enter d button to access the submenus from a Top Level Menu item.

d• Press d to store a submenu selection or after entering a value — the display will flash a

ENTER	STRD message to confirm your selection.

•To reset flashing Peak or Valley press d.

•In the Run Mode, press d twice to enable Standby Mode with flashing STBY.

Reset: Except for Alarms, modifying any settings of the menu configuration will reset the instrument prior to resuming Run Mode.
