Chapter 5

Initial Startup & 

Console Programming

The first time the SCS console is powered on, it will automatically enter a calibration mode. This initial 
programming sequence requires a selection for the units, product control type, speed sensor type, and control 
valve type before the flashing “CAL” (calibration) alert clears and the console is ready for normal operation.

Reset Console Memory

Occasionally, it may be necessary to reset the internal memory and return to the initial programming screens.

Note:

All configuration settings and data will be lost. Before performing a memory reset, be sure to write 
down all calibration data to simplify console programming after the memory has been cleared.

To reset the internal memory:

1.

Press the POWER button to turn the console OFF.

2.

While holding the CE key, press POWER to turn the console ON.

3.

Perform the 

Initial Calibration Sequence

 as described in the next section to restore the console to normal 

operation. Before beginning product application, verify all other settings on the console are reprogrammed 
to ensure proper operation of the control system.

Initial Calibration Sequence

Adjust Contrast

When the console is switched on for the first time, the Adjust Contrast screen will display.

1.

Press and hold the UP ARROW key to increase the screen contrast or the DOWN ARROW to decrease the 
contrast.

2.

Press ENTER to save this setting and proceed to the Units screen.

Note:

The screen contrast can be adjusted through the Data Menu after the initial programming. See 
Chapter 6, Data Menu
, for more information.

Language

Review the on-screen instructions and use the appropriate number keys to select the desired display 
language.
