EUROPE will cause all dates to display DAY/MONTH/YEAR.

The remaining five entries are two digits each;

MONTH __, DAY __, YEAR __, HOUR __, and MIN __.

Use the * key to step through all displays without change. Enter new settings where required.

The correct date and time have been entered at the factory and should never have to be reset. Of course you may be in a different time zone.

*12 Press (*,1,2) to move the PARAMETER table from ROM to RAM. This allows system to operate with the parameters that were originally supplied as default numbers with the system.

EXPLANATION:

All PARAMETERS are stored in a table that resides in three places: ROM, RAM, and EEPROM.

ROM (Read Only Memory) is the chip on the circuit board that cannot be altered in any way except by physically replacing the entire chip. It contains the program and the copy of the parameter table that we supply as standard with all controllers.

EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only

Memory)

is the

portion of the processor that can be altered

by the computer

by special request only;

data stored here is

not lost even if the battery backed up RAM should loose

power.

EEPROM

contains

all parameters and control numbers

that are unique

to your

system. It holds the information

that is

automatically retrieved when the

CLEAR procedure is

performed (see

below).

This information

may be retrieved

for use

only by

special

request from the

keypad. At the

factory

we have

set what we believe to be the proper

parameters for

your application into the

EEPROM.

RAM (Random Access Memory) is the chip on the circuit board where the processor keeps track of and stores constantly changing data. It is the area that would go blank if power were removed from it. We have provided a battery back-up for the RAM so this should never be a problem. On normal power off and power on, the data and parameters that reside in RAM are not lost. However, RAM is the portion of memory most easily corrupted by the poor electrical environment of a factory. Should something cause the data in RAM to be lost or corrupted, a "CLEAR" procedure is provided that will retrieve the parameter table stored in the EEPROM and copy it into RAM memory for use. If you make changes to the PARAMETER table, these changes reside only in RAM and may be lost in the event of a computer malfunction. To insure that your changes are saved for future runs, it is necessary to move this information from RAM to the EEPROM (*23, next).

NOTE: The battery used for backup is a lithium battery that is part of an I.C. chip on the board. It has an expected 10 year life and is not easily accessible for replacement.
