5.4.8 Rotate Scales
The Rotate Scales menu option allows the user to select whether or not the different scales rotate on the graph
automatically or manually. In the Auto mode, all programmed scales will rotate at a set interval automatically.
In the Manual mode, the displayed scale will not change until the center of the scale is pressed, which will
rotate through all programmed scales. NOTE: At any time, the center of the scale can be pressed to rotate to
the next programmed scale.
To set the Rotate Scales option:
From the Display menu use the
UP (
↑↑↑↑↑
)
or
DOWN (
↓↓↓↓↓
)
button to highlight
Rotate Scales
and then press the
ENTER
button. Use the
UP (
↑↑↑↑↑

or
DOWN (

)
button to select either
Auto Rotate
or
Manual Rotate
and press
the
ENTER
button. Press the
EXIT
button to return to the Display menu.
5.4.9 Screen Dimmer
The Screen Dimmer menu option sets the screen brightness and the setting at which the unit will dim or turn
off the backlight after a user specified time. The timeout of the four levels (3,2,1 or off) is programmable from
0 to 720 minutes in one minute intervals.
The screen will be at the “Bright Level” when the ACK button is flashing or when the touch screen is pressed.
After the dimmer timeout value is reached, the backlight will reduce in intensity to the “Dim Level”. If an Alarm
regularly goes off within the Screen Dimmer timeout interval, the display will never go to the “Dim Level”.
To set the Screen Dimmer options:
From the Display menu use the
UP (
↑↑↑↑↑
)
or
DOWN (
↓↓↓↓↓
)
button to highlight
Screen Dimmer
and then press the
ENTER
button. A window will pop up prompting for the BRIGHT LEVEL. Use the
UP (
↑↑↑↑↑
)
or
DOWN (
↓↓↓↓↓
)
button
to select one of the three Brightness Levels (3, 2, or 1) and press the
ENTER
button. A window will then pop up
prompting for the DIM LEVEL value. Use the
UP (
↑↑↑↑↑
)
or
DOWN (
↓↓↓↓↓
)
button to select a Dim Level and press the
ENTER
button. The Dim Level selection(s) will be one level less than the Brightness Level you set. For
example, if you select “2” as the Bright Level, you will be given the choice of “1” or “OFF” for the Dim Level.
Next, use the numeric keypad to enter the timeout interval in minutes (0 to 720) and press the
ENTER
button.
Setting the timeout value to 0 never dims the backlight.
