Siemens SITRANS FUS1010 NEMA-4X/ IP 65 Meter Type Menu, NFM-3J Entering Alphanumeric Strings

Section 1 1010NFM-3J

Entering Alphanumeric Strings

An alphanumeric string is a series of numbers and letters; and also the Quotation Mark and the Pound Sign symbol. You can also use a space. The meter uses these to identify a specific site setup or user- modified table. The 1010N keypad does not provide letter keys. However, when you access a menu cell that requires an alphanumeric string answer, the menu cell right-hand column provides an eight- character entry field. Press the <Right Arrow> to access the field. This selects the first character position. Note that the prompt changes to a question mark (?). With the cursor at the first character position, use the <Up> or <Down Arrows> to scroll through a single-character list. For example, as shown below, an <Up Arrow> at the first character position produces the letter: uppercase [A]. Press- ing the <Right Arrow> moves the cursor to the second position.

Use the <Right and Left Arrows> to move through the character positions. If you wish touse numbers in your string, you can type them directly from the keypad. After you finish selecting your string, press <ENT> to register it.

1.7.3 THE METER TYPE MENU

This is the first list presented upon entering the Installation Menu. Select the type of meter required for your application. The meter automatically conditions Installation Menu choices to suit the selected meter type. The following paragraphs introduce the available meter types for dual channel systems.

NOTE: On Single Channel systems, you do not get a choice of meter types, sincethis requires two independent measurement channels. However, you can operate the single chan- nel with any optionally supplied measurement technology. Some four channel models provide four-path and channel summing operation.
