Appendix a Service Terminal Interface | Emerson AC8 specification

Comparison of Functions: LCD and Service Terminal Interface

APPENDIX A - SERVICE TERMINAL INTERFACE

The Service Terminal Interface allows access to all functions of the AC8, including some that are not possible through the LCD interface. This interface is accessible through any computer using a com- munications program such as Microsoft® Windows® HyperTerminal.

This appendix provides directions for connecting to the Service Terminal Interface, an overview of each type of function and sample screens for each menu available through the Service Terminal Inter- face. References to more detailed instructions about each function are provided.

A.1 COMPARISON OF FUNCTIONS: LCD AND SERVICE TERMINAL INTERFACE

Table 33 lists all functions for viewing and configuring the AC8 and shows whether they can be per- formed through the LCD interface and where to find information.
