Emerson E2 Quick Start, Logging On, Cleaning Out the Controller, Performing a Clean Out

10 Quick Start

This section covers what to do when you are program- ming a new E2 for the first time. The section includes log- ging on, specifying information about I/O boards and application types, and other topics related to E2 program- ming and navigation.

10.1 Logging On

Figure 10-1- User Login Dialog Box

When the E2 is powered up for the first time, the first screen displayed after initialization is the User Login screen.

2.Press .

3.Enter “PASS” in the Password field.

4.Press .

Logging into and out of the E2 controller can be done at any time by pressing the key on the E2 keypad. If

you are currently logged out, pressing will bring up the User Login dialog box. If you are already logged in, pressing will immediately log you out and return you to the E2 home screen.

10.2Cleaning Out the Controller

Cleaning out the E2 controller needs to be done if:

•If you are programming your E2 controller for the first time.

•If all of the settings need to be cleared. •If the program settings are unknown.

Open the E2 controller panel. There are two buttons located midway down on the main board (see Figure 2-2). These buttons are used to perform various hardware func- tions.

Reset Button - The button labeled "RESET" on the main board resets the controller.

Pressing and holding this button

for one second will cause the E2

to reset and retain all pro- grammed applications, logs, and other data stored in memory.

Clean Out Button - The button labeled CLEAN OUT on the controller is used to perform a function called clean out. Using this button in conjunction with the Reset But- ton will cause a clean out, which is a reset that erases all data from memory. The E2 will re-boot after a clean out with all programmed applications, logs, and other data erased.

Clean outs are also commonly called Blue “R” resets, named for the key presses required to clean out Emerson Retail Solutions’ previous generation of controllers,

REFLECS.

Performing a Clean Out

CAUTION: A clean out will erase all pro- grammed parameters from memory. Do not follow these instructions unless you are abso-

lutely sure you wish to remove all applications and logs from memory.

1. Press and RELEASE the Reset Button quickly. The screen will clear.

2. Press and Hold the Clean Out button.

3.When “CLEANOUT” appears in large text across the screen, RELEASE the Clean Out but- ton.
