Manual Function
During normal operation,
a rather short press (≈ 3 sec) activates and deactivates the Manual
Function. LED 1 indicates the status. LED 5 and LED 6 show the current filtering states.
When the Manual Function is active, either all Physical Telegrams or all Group Telegrams or
both can pass the MECip-Sec without filtering. When the Switch-off time has elapsed, MECip-
Sec automatically switches back to normal operation. To configure the Manual Function and
set the Switch-off time, use the parameter tab General like shown in chapter
After switching back from Manual Function to normal operation, the latest downloaded filter
parameter settings plus filter table entries become active again.
