STARTING THE EC500

When dc power is applied to the EC500 (via the connector CAN-1 / CAN-2 / RS485-L / RS485-U on rear panel)
the controller boots up and start-up sequence begins.

Start-up Screen

At  power  up,  Boot  loader
loads  any  new  firmware  and
then  jumps  to  application.
Controller

initializes

hardware,

loads

system

settings and starts operation.

Home Screen

Display system values, alarm
status, latest alarm and date /
time. Colour of particular
block shows alarm status of
that block.

Main Menu

Option selection displays
Main

Menu.

See

navigation on page 13. If Logon is
required see Keypad Access
Security on page 14.



CAN-2 and RS485-U are not part of standard offering and must be purchased as an option
