This menu is made to give access to exact hardware versions, software
versions and serial numbers of devices (CT186 and VCS183) attached
to the control panel via serial data link. Corresponding panel data may
be retrieved from initial panel display right after power up. The panel
will return on its own to basic display menu 1 after 5 seconds. See
Reset to default
Table 8: Programing parameters:
twice in VCS183 memory. One set is the actual one used for control
and monitoring and may be altered by the user. The other one is the
factory default data set for this generator. Performing
a “
Reset to
default
”
will overwrite actual data set with factory settings, thus
placing the control system in the status it was delivered. Cumulative
data, serial numbers, software and hardware version numbers and the
message to be displayed in case of an active fire boy are not affected
by reset to default. Upon such reset to default the control system will
perform a power cycle without user intervention and return to basic
display mode page 1. See
