5 Programming
5.1 Procedure
For the programming of the EMS-8x, the device has to be opened. At the control board inside of
the ISO box there are three buttons available.
By pressing the ”P” button you will enter the programming mode which is indicated in the display
by “Pro”. This state can be left by pushing the “+” button. During runtime an emergency stop can
be performed by pushing the “-” button. An emergency stop will reset the device to “free” state
By pressing the ”P” button another time you are in the parameter edit mode. The display shows
alternating a ”P”, followed by the parameter number and the value of the respective parameter.
Press the ”P” button several times until you reach the required parameter. You can find a listing of
all parameters in Table 1, section 5.5. By pressing the „P“ button another time if the last paramter is
reached, all settings are stored and the EMS-8x is in “free” state again. All parameters are stored
electronically and do not loose their values even if the device is switched off. If no button is
pressed for a period of at least 30 seconds, all settings are stored automatically and the EMS-8x
changes over to “free” state. In the following sections the 3 types of parameters, counter, operating
values and switches, are described.
5.2 Counter editing
Counters are cash counters, customer counters or hour meters. There are erasable and non-
eraseable counters. The erasable counters can be erased by pressing the ”+” or ”-”button.
Some counters have a range higher than 999. As the display has only 3-digits, the notation is
segmented on values higher than 999. The display changes between the parameter-number, the
high level digits (digits 4 - 5) and the low level digits (digits 1 - 3). The high level digits are
indicated by the flashing decimal point at the right side. In Figure 4 you can see an example for the
counter operating hours 1 with a counter value of 21 740 hours. If the value is lower than 1.000 the
display changes only between the parameter number and the low level digit display.
5.3 Adjusting operating parameters
Operating parameters are values, you can adjust the prices or the maximum time with. These
values can be increased by pressing the button ”+” and decreased by pressing the button ”-”. The
rate is either 1 or 0,1 depending on the parameter. On pressing the ”+” resp. ”-” button for a longer
time, the value can be changed faster.
5.4 Switch-parameter
By means of the switches a function can be switched on or off. These parameters have
two options only, which can be changed by pressing the ”+” or ”-” button.
