Local Interface Structure & Operation
The StarPac 3 local user interface allows complete user access to configure and calibrate a
StarPac 3 Intelligent Control Valve System. The interface consists of a Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) and a membrane-covered keypad. The LCD is a 4 X 20 character display with the top
two lines user configured for normal operation, or for displaying instructions or options during
configuration. The bottom two lines are used to indicate menu options that are selected with the
four function keys. To the right of the menu options, on the bottom two lines, are two normally
blank spaces that indicate Alarm or Error conditions, indicated by a flashing “A” and/or “E”. A
flashing “T” on the right side of the display indicates that the unit is in Test mode and will not
respond to commands until the unit is set to Manual or Auto mode in the
TUNE
menu.
The keyboard has three types of keys; the menu control keys (which consist of the LAST
OPTION, F1, F2, F3, and F4 keys); the alphanumeric keys; and the colored shift keys. The
F1, F2, F3, and F4 keys refer to the menu options listed in the LCD of the interface. The LAST
OPTION key is used to move back through the menus. The alphanumeric keys are used to enter
data requested in various options. The red, blue and green shift keys are used to select the
corresponding colored letter on the alphanumeric keypad.
The various menu options have three basic forms. The first type is a list that is scrolled through
by using the F1 and F2 keys labeled NEXT and PREVIOUS. The second type uses the F1 and
F2 keys to adjust a value up or down, and the third type uses the F1 and F2 keys to move the
cursor to a position. The keypad is used to enter characters. In all of the options, the F3 key is
used to cancel the operation. If the F3 key is pressed before the system returns to the menu,
then all variables are returned to their old values. The F4 key is used to accept the current
values in the display and continue.
The HOME menu has selections of
STATUS, TUNE, CALIBRATE
, and
CONFIGURE.
Each of
these menus has several submenus. The bottom two lines define the function keys that control
the individual menus. The top two lines in the display are user configurable and may not look like
the figure above.
The menus shown in the figures in this manual represent how the information is laid out in
the local display menu tree. The top row of the figures shows the bottom two rows of the
display. One of the fields is in
Bold
type. Press the F key under this field to bring up the choices
shown on the bottom row. If you see the word 'Next,' then push the F4 button to bring up the
continuation of that row. To move back up the menu tree, push the button labeled 'Last Option' to
see the preceding row.
