GETTING STARTED (PROGRAMMER)
For users with previous experience of configuring programmers, the
Function List
and
Functions Map
on pages 14/15 and 16/17 respectively will be reasonably self explanatory.
The Functions and their Settings are grouped to maximise speed of Programming.
New users should take a short time to study the following before starting to configure the
first program, and may wish to take on board the following tips and suggestions.
Program Mode Exit switch (
ProG/Auto
) Program Level 4.
This standard feature of the Model 9500 causes automatic exit from program mode after
sixty seconds of Key inactivity. It is highly recommended that this setting be disabled and
changed to
ProG/StAy
to ensure that adequate time is available for making unfamiliar
adjustments. (see page 9). It may also be useful at this point to consider the setting also on
Level 4,
SEt.L
that enable the Programmer menu entry point to be changed from it’s default
position to the point of last exit. (see page 9).
Program Parameter List
Listing the required
Program Settings
and
Parameter Values
segment by segment beside
each
Setting
/
Segment Number
, and
Program Display Mnemonic
will reduce the risk of
programming mistakes during the learning period.

Program configuration
When the PROGRAMMER function is entered at
LEVL P
, the Programmer is automatically
presented in Configuration Mode, and the instrument display can be used to access and
adjust the various
FUNCTIONS
as they appear in the FUNCTIONS MAP illustrated on pages 14
and 15.
Program Run Mode
To run a Program from
LEVL P
,

DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
Once the program is running, the display automatically tracks the progress of the program as
it indexes through it’s sequence of segments. When it concludes it’s final instruction, the
upper display alternates
StoP
with the
Process Value
and the lower display reverts to the
instrument
SP1 Setpoint
.
RAMP
The upper display alternates between
SPr
and the moving
Process Value
while the lower
display shows
Target Setpoint
. If
Holdback
is activated, the decimal point in the lower right
corner of the upper display will be illuminated.
SOAK
The upper display alternates between
SoAK
and the
Process Value
. The lower display
reads the
Target Setpoint
of the current segment.
STEP
(not displayed)
As this involves an instantaneous change of the
Target Setpoint
, this segment occupies zero
time and the program immediately moves to the next segment. The lower display then
registers the new
Target Setpoint
, with the upper display alternating in either
SPr
or
SoAK
mode according to the segment configuration.
HOLD
If the program is paused in
HOLD
, the upper display alternates between
hoLd
and the
Process Value
, while the lower display indicates the
Target Setpoint
of the current
segment.
User Displays
With the program running, a further display function is available at any time.
