GDA-1600 16-Channel Controller

Instruction 5700-9001

3 Operation

The GDA-1600 offers 3 graphic screens for viewing monitored data and a

Set-Up

screen for operator interface to configuration menus. They are shown below in Figure

3.0. The

Bar Graphs

screen allows viewing of all active channels simultaneously. The

Trend

screen displays a 24 hour trend, one channel at a time. The

Combination

screen

displays a bar graph, large engineering units and a 30 minute trend, one channel at a time.

Input channels may be displayed in sequence with the

UP/DOWN

keys. The

NEXT

key

switches between the 3 graphic data screens. When power is applied to the GDA-1600,

the graphic LCD returns to the last active screen from when power was removed.

Setup

menus are entered by pressing

EDIT

from any data screen, and scrolling to the

desired menu using the

UP/DOWN

keys. Pressing

EDIT

again enters the selected

menu’s tree of variables. This

Setup

mode may be exited manually by pressing

NEXT,

or automatically when no keys are pressed for 5 minutes. Alarm relays and front panel

alarm LED indicators remain active during the

Setup

mode. An

AUTHORIZE

offers a password feature to prevent tampering with GDA-1600 parameters.

Variables inside

system

and

channel

menu trees allow optimum GDA-1600 configuration

for a wide range of demanding multi-point monitoring applications. Access to menus are

accomplished via the

Setup

mode by pressing

EDIT

and activating the

Setup

screen

shown in Figure 3.0. Menu trees are provided for each of the 16 channels and another for

system variables. Select the desired menu by scrolling with

UP/DOWN

and

EDIT

enter the menus.
