ISPLAY
The display consists of a 16-character LED-backlighted Liquid Crystal Display. The
contrast on the display may be adjusted so that the display can be read from any
vertical angle. This adjustment is made by loosening the two screws on the front of the
case and sliding the front panel forward, then turning the potentiometer (R8) to adjust
the contrast until the best view of the display is obtained. See Figure 3-1.
In the normal RUN mode of operation, the display will show current process value,
component name, control mode and range. In other modes, relevant information will
be displayed as is necessary. See Figure 3-3.
