General Configuration Screen

NOTE

When entering the time in the Module Time field, separators between hours, minutes, and seconds do not need to be added as long as each entry uses two numeric characters. For example, to set the time to 6:45 A.M., type “064500” in the Module Time field.

3.Press ENTER to set the module time to the time in the input field.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press ENTER.

If the time entered is a valid format, the Event Message Line at the top of the screen displays “SAVED OK”. If the entry is not valid, Local Management does not alter the current value and refreshes the Module Time field with the previous value.

5.15.7 Entering a New Screen Refresh Time

The screen refresh time is set from 3 to 99 seconds with a default of 3 seconds. To set a new screen refresh time, perform the following steps:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Screen Refresh Time field.

2.Enter a number from 3 to 99.

3.Press ENTER to set the refresh time to the time entered in the input field.

4.Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command at the bottom of the screen and press ENTER.

If the time entered is within the 3 to 99 seconds range, the Event Message Line at the top of the screen displays “SAVED OK”. If the entry is not valid, Local Management does not alter the current setting, but it does refresh the Screen Refresh Time field with the previous value.
