V. System Operation Overview
MicroTron controllers have two modes of operation, RUN and SET-UP. Both the RUN and SET UP menus
are circular. Pressing the DOWN key in either menu will display the next line of information on the display.
After the last item in a menu has been displayed, pressing the DOWN key will return the display to the top
line of that menu.
RUN MODE
-
This mode is for normal operation. The control relays will only be automatically
active in this mode. In the RUN mode, the display will read system values. If an alarm
is present, the display flashes with the alarm status.
The RUN menu will display values such as day, time, date and other values
depending upon the features present on the unit. The unit will automatically return to
the RUN mode if no keys are pressed for three minutes.
SET UP MODE
-
This mode is used to make adjustments to settings and readings on the controller. To
access the SET UP mode from the RUN screen, press the SETUP/RUN key. Use the
up or down arrow to scroll through the various SET UP menus. When you want to
access a specific SET UP menu, press the ENTER key. Once you have entered a SET
UP sub-menu you will be able to step through that menu’s options with the down arrow
key.
Relays may be forced on while in the SET UP mode. Press the desired relay test key
to force it on. Press it a second time to turn it off. Once the unit returns to the RUN
mode, relays will activate automatically.
A. Description of SET UP Menu Screens
The SET UP menu is the main menu circle of set up sub-menus used to customize your unit to the particular
parameters needed for your installation. Listed on the following pages is a description and menu map of
each SET UP menu.
NOTES:
1. Your unit may not have all of the SET UP menus listed depending upon your model
number.
2. After you press ENTER or CLEAR to change a numerical value in the SET UP menu, use
the number keys to define the new value. Press ENTER again to enter the new value.
3. When entering new numeric values, all available digits (characters) must be entered.
The number of available digits depends upon the scale of operation. Position of cursor
indicates number of digits to be entered.
For example, when entering a run time value for a timer in the minute and seconds scale
(10:30 would equal 10 minutes and thirty seconds). You would need to key in a number of
00.30 to make it 0 (zero) minutes and 30 seconds.
