the number 1 is inverse, i.e. the first output of an output group is selected

•

actually selected group is marked with the bar below the group icon column, which is No.1
now (the left column)

When you want, for example, to switch the output No. 1.6 navigate with the

button to the

output No. 6. Now, you can switch the output No. 1.6 on by pressing the

You can use the manual output control not only in the manual state but even during power factor
control state as well, which can be usable for control process checking. For this, press the

button and keep it pressed – after approx. 3 seconds, the pull up menu disappears and the button icon
switches to the

outputs in the same way as in the manual state. But note that the power factor control process is still

control process. For the same reason you cannot change fixed outputs and zero outputs state
because being under control of the control process.

4.2.1.9.2 PFC Setup Direct Access Button

As the NOVAR 2600 controllers are complex instruments, their presetable parameters are for better
orientation hierarchically arranged into several groups that are accessible in standard way via

main

menu

But during power factor control systems installation, commissioning and checking it is usually
necessary to check or to modify the parameters affecting power factor control process frequently and
standard access to the parameters may prove cumbersome. Therefore, direct access to the PFC
setup parameters from the main PFC screen was implemented using the

button.
