Introduction
The Model AT868 flow transmitter is equipped with a Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD), it may be programmed to display up to four variables
in sequence. To ease viewing, both the brightness and the contrast of
the LCD may be adjusted. In addition, this section discusses resetting
totalizers and pausing the measurement.
Adjusting LCD Contrast
and Brightness
Both the contrast and the brightness of the LCD may be adjusted to
suit individual needs. The Model AT868 has two adjustment
potentiometers located on the LCD circuit board (see Figure 3-1
below). To make LCD adjustments, complete the following steps:
1.
Loosen the six set screws to remove the front cover.
2.
With power still applied to the meter, carefully use a small
screwdriver to adjust the LCD brightness. Turning the
BKLT
(backlight) pot fully clockwise yields maximum brightness.
3.
In a similar manner, adjust the
CONT
(contrast) pot to set the LCD
contrast as desired. At either extreme of the
CONT
pot, the display
is unreadable. Turn the pot fully counterclockwise and then turn it
clockwise very slowly until the display is clear.
4.
Readjust the
BKLT
control as desired.
5.
Replace the front cover on the AT868, and secure it in place with
the set screws.
