AMU Use
16
3.2.2. Using the front panel buttons
Commands are input by pressing one of the six selection buttons on the front of the unit:
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, ENTER and CLEAR. For instance, the user can cycle through the
various modes (IDLE to CHECK MOTOR to RUN to RESUME … and finally back to IDLE), by
repeatedly pressing the UP button. A particular mode can be selected by pressing ENTER
when the desired mode is displayed on the LCD. The menus are set up on a hierarchical
basis, with each level representing commands of the same precedence which the user can
cycle through by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons. Pressing CLEAR has the effect of
stopping a particular action and rising up a level in the hierarchy. Only Edit Settings has
nested hierarchy levels more than two deep. In general, whenever ENTER or CLEAR is
pressed, it will be necessary to confirm the action with a second press of the button;
pressing the other button (i.e. CLEAR after ENTER and vice versa) will cancel the action.
3.2.3. Setting numeric values
Similarly, numeric values can be entered using the arrow buttons. When a value is to be
changed, use the LEFT or RIGHT buttons to move the LCD flashing cursor to the first digit to
be edited and repeatedly press either the UP or DOWN buttons to scroll through the
available alphanumeric characters until the desired one is displayed. Subsequent digits can
be edited by moving to the next digit using the LEFT or RIGHT buttons and again scrolling
with the UP and DOWN buttons. A schematic diagram showing the menu hierarchy is
shown in the appendix at the end of this manual.
3.3. Configuring for use
3.3.1. Master reset
When first installed the AMU unit will be configured for the default factory settings, which
will need to be changed prior to use. At later times, the factory settings can be restored by
pressing and holding down the LEFT button for about 4 seconds during power up of the
device, until the string ''Press ENTER'' for general reset appears. At this stage pressing
