PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (PAR KEY)

The Programming Mode is entered by pressing the 

PAR

key. If this mode is

not accessible, then meter programming is locked by either a security code or a
hardware lock. (See Modules 2 and 3 for programming lock-out details.)

MODULE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)

Upon  entering  the  Programming  Mode,  the  display  alternates  between 

and the present module (initially 

 

). The arrow keys (

F1

5

and 

F2

6

) are used

to select the desired module, which is then entered by pressing the 

PAR

key.

PARAMETER (MODULE) MENU (PAR KEY)

Each module has a separate parameter menu. These menus are shown at the

start of each module description section which follows. The 

PAR

key is pressed

to  advance  to  a  particular  parameter  to  be  changed,  without  changing  the
programming of preceding parameters. After completing a module, the display
will return to 

 

. From this point, programming may continue by selecting

and entering additional modules. (See 

MODULE ENTRY

above.)

PARAMETER SELECTION ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)

For  each  parameter,  the  display  alternates  between  the  parameter  and  the

present selection or value for that parameter. For parameters which have a list of
selections, the arrow keys (

F1

5

and 

F2

6

) are used to sequence through the list

until the desired selection is displayed. Pressing the 

PAR

key stores and activates

the displayed selection, and also advances the meter to the next parameter.

NUMERICAL VALUE ENTRY (ARROW, RST & PAR KEYS)

For parameters which require a numerical value entry, the arrow keys can be

used to increment or decrement the display to the desired value. When an arrow
key  is  pressed  and  held,  the  display  automatically  scrolls  up  or  scrolls  down.
The longer the key is held, the faster the display scrolls.

In addition, the 

RST

key can be used in combination with the arrow keys to

enter numerical values. The 

RST

key is pressed to select a specific digit to be

changed, which blinks when selected. Once a digit is selected, the arrow keys
are used to increment or decrement that digit to the desired number. The 

RST

key is then pressed again to select the next digit to be changed. This “select and
set”  sequence  is  repeated  until  each  digit  is  displaying  the  proper  number.
Pressing  the 

PAR

key  stores  and  activates  the  displayed  value,  and  also

advances the meter to the next parameter.

PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (DSP KEY or PAR KEY at 

 

)

The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the 

DSP

key (from anywhere

in the Programming Mode) or the 

PAR

key (with 

 

displayed). This will

commit  any  stored  parameter  changes  to  memory  and  return  the  meter  to  the
Display Mode. If a parameter was just changed, the 

PAR

key should be pressed

to store the change before pressing the 

DSP

key. (If power loss occurs before

returning to the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)

STEP BY STEP PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS:

OVERVIEW

PROGRAMMING MENU

DISPLAY MODE

The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. In this mode, the meter

displays  can  be  viewed  consecutively  by  pressing  the 

DSP

key.  The

annunciators to the left of the display indicate which display is currently shown;
Timer (TMR), Cycle Counter (CNT), or Date (DAT). The Time Display for the
Real-Time Clock is shown with no annunciator. Any of these displays can be
locked from view through programming. (See Module 3.)

PROGRAMMING MODE

Two programming modes are available. 

Full Programming Mode

permits all parameters to be viewed and modified.

Upon entering this mode, the front panel keys change to Programming Mode
operations. This mode should not be entered while a process is running, since
the meter timing functions and User Input response may not operate properly
while in Full Programming Mode.

Quick Programming Mode

permits only certain parameters to be viewed and/or

modified.  When  entering  this  mode,  the  front  panel  keys  change  to
Programming  Mode  operations,  and  all  meter  functions  continue  to  operate
properly. Quick Programming Mode is configured in Module 3. The Display
Intensity Level “

” parameter is only available in the Quick Programming

Mode when the security code is non-zero. For a description, see Module 9—
Factory  Service  Operations.  Throughout  this  document,  Programming  Mode
(without Quick in front) always refers to “Full” Programming Mode.

PROGRAMMING TIPS

The Programming Menu is organized into nine modules. (See above.) These

modules  group  together  parameters  that  are  related  in  function.  It  is
recommended to begin programming with Module 1 and proceed through each 

module in sequence. Note that Modules 5 through 8 are only accessible when
the  appropriate  plug-in  option  card  is  installed.  If  lost  or  confused  while
programming,  press  the 

DSP

key  to  exit  programming  mode  and  start  over.

When programming is complete, it is recommended to record the meter settings
on the Parameter Value Chart and lock-out parameter programming with a User
Input or lock-out code. (See Modules 2 and 3 for lock-out details.)

FACTORY SETTINGS

Factory  Settings  may  be  completely  restored  in  Module  9.  This  is  a  good

starting point if encountering programming problems. Throughout the module
description  sections  which  follow,  the  factory  setting  for  each  parameter  is
shown below the parameter display. In addition, all factory settings are listed on
the Parameter Value Chart following the programming section. 

ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY

In the module description sections which follow, the dual display with arrows

appears for each programming parameter. This is used to illustrate the display
alternating  between  the  parameter  (top  display)  and  the  parameter’s  Factory
Setting  (bottom  display).  In  most  cases,  selections  or  value  ranges  for  the
parameter will be listed on the right.
