OPERATING MODES
The correctly selected mode is displayed in reverse at the centre of the home page. There are three possible operating modes, listed below:
TEST Mode
– When the controller is brand new and has never been programmed, it automatically enters in TEST mode that allows the installer to manually activate the individual outputs, so the correct wiring of the panel can
be checked.
– The activation and deactivation of the outputs are done as per manual mode.
– Once in programming and with parameters set, the controller automatically exits the test mode.
– If you need to enter TEST mode after programming the unit, use the appropriate command in the commands menu.
MAN Mode
– When the controller is in manual mode, you can select one of the steps and manually connect or disconnect it.
– From the main page, press
►
. Step No. 1 is highlighted by a box. To select the step you want, press
◄
or
►
.
– Press
to connect or
to disconnect the selected step.
– If the number above the step is light grey, it means the step is not available because its reconnection time has not elapsed yet. In this case, by sending a close command, the step number will flash to indicate that
the operation has been confirmed and will be conducted as soon as possible.
– The manual configuration of steps is maintained even in the absence of supply voltage. When power returns, the original state of the steps is restored.
AUT Mode
– In automatic mode, the controller calculates the optimum configuration of capacitor steps in order to reach the set cos
.
– The selection criteria takes into account many variables such as: the power rating of each step, the number of operations, the total time of use, the reconnection time, etc.
– The controller displays the imminent connection or disconnection of the steps by flashing (above) their identification number. The flashing can be prolonged when the insertion of a step is not possible due to the
reconnection time (discharge time of the capacitor).
– If the number above the step is light grey, this means the step is not available because its reconnection time is not elapsed yet. The device then waits for the end of the reconnection time.
MAIN MENU
– The main menu is made up of a group of graphic icons (shortcuts) that allow rapid access to measurements and settings.
– Starting from normal measurement viewing, by pressing

–
- Access point to the commands menu, where the authorised user can execute some clearing-restoring actions.

PASSWORD ACCESS
– The password is used to enable or lock the access to setting menu (setup) and to commands menu.
– For brand-new devices (factory default), the password management is disabled and the access is free. If instead, the passwords have been enabled and defined, then to get access, it is necessary to enter the
password first, specifying the numeric code through the keypad.
– To enable password management and to define numeric codes, see setup menu M15 Password.
•
User level access
– Allows clearing of stored values and the editing of a restricted number of setup parameters.
•
Advanced level access
– Same rights of the user access plus full setup editing-restoring.
– From normal measurement viewing, press
✔
to recall the main menu, then select the password icon and press
✔
.
– The display shows the screen illustrated below:
– Keys
and
change the selected digit
– Keys
◄
and
►
move through the digits.
– Enter all the digits of the numeric code, then move on the key icon.
– If the password code entered matches the User access code or the Advanced access code, then the corresponding unlocked message is shown.
– Once the password is unlocked, the access rights last until:
• The device is powered off.
• The device is reset (after quitting the setup menu).
• The timeout period of two minutes elapses without any keystroke.
– To quit the password entry screen, press
✔
key.
