Advanced Programming Functions
Advanced Programming Functions allow the ProPanel to perform special
tasks or invoke custom programming. These tasks interact with the
F
keys to
perform functions related to a specific task or programming operation.
Note:
The Advanced Functions configurable via
pr24
are mutually exclusive
of each other. The table below provides a summary of the functions available.

, the
F2,
F3
&
F4
keys are
disabled and have no function. However, the
F1
key, used only for
, is independently controlled by Pr30.
Set Programming Parameter

to enable this function.
Monitor
The ProPanel can monitor a position to detect drift or measurement variance.
To activate the Monitor mode, position the Encoder (system) to the desired
location and
Momentarily
press the
F3
key. The
MON
symbol will illuminate
on the LCD to indicate Monitor mode is active.
If the Encoder moves outside the programmed tolerance the LCD reading
flashes, indicating a drift condition. When the Encoder is moved back within
the programmed tolerance, the displayed reading will stop flashing.
To exit the monitor mode,
Momentarily
press the
F3
key. The
MON
symbol
will turn off and the currently displayed position will stop flashing.
Monitor can only be activated while in the ABS measuring mode. If the
ABS
/
INC
key is depressed, or the normal operational mode is changed (enter
programming mode or sending a data transmission), the Readout will
automatically exit Monitor mode.
NOTE
: When the Monitor mode is enabled AND the programmable output is
configured for drift monitoring, the output will not become active until the
system has remained ‘out of position’ for at least 2 seconds.
NOT TYPICALLY USED WITH PROPANEL SYSTEMS.
