CONFIGURATION AND CALIBRATION

Both indicators are configured and calibrated via
the  four  front  panel  push  buttons.    All  the
configuration functions are contained in an easy to
use intuitive menu that is shown diagrammatically
in Fig 7.

Each menu function is summarised in section 6.1
and  includes  a  reference  to  more  detailed
information.    When  the  indicator  is  fitted  with
alarms additional functions are added to the menu
which are described in section 9.3

Throughout this manual push buttons are shown
as  

(

)

,  

&

 or  

*

, and legends displayed by

the  indicator  are  shown  within  inverted  commas
e.g. 

CAL

 and 

ALr2

.

Access to the configuration menu is obtained by
operating  the  

(

 and  

)

 push  buttons

simultaneously.  If the indicator security code is set
to the default 

0000

 the first parameter 

FunC

 will be

displayed.  If a security code other than the default
code 

0000

 has already been entered, the indicator

will display 

CodE

.  Pressing the 

(

 button will clear

this prompt allowing each digit of the code to be
entered using the 

&

 and 

*

 push buttons and the

(

 button to move control to the next digit.  When

the  correct  four  digit  code  has  been  entered
pressing 

)

 will cause the first parameter 

FunC

 to

be displayed.   If the code is incorrect, or a button
is not pressed within twenty seconds, the indicator
will automatically return to the display mode. 

Once  within  the configuration  menu  the required
parameter can be reached by scrolling through the
menu using the 

&

 and 

*

 push buttons as shown

in Fig 7.       When returning to the display mode
following recalibration or a change to any function,
the  indicator  will  display  

dAtA

 followed  by  

5AVE

while the new information is stored in permanent
memory.

All  new  indicators  are  supplied  calibrated  as
requested at the time of ordering.  If calibration is
not requested, indicators will be supplied with the
following default configuration:
