Input for any numeric entry is provided to the user via a pop-up Numeric Entry Keypad.
A pop-up Numeric Entry Keypad gets activated whenever the user presses any of the Set-point push-
buttons on the Operator Panel Touch-screen. The Numeric Entry Keypad displays the current numeric
value for the given set-point, along with applicable high and low limits. Invalid entries generate an error
message and such out-of-range values will be rejected.
“System” Toggle
Overall system operation is turned on/off through a toggle push-button switch labeled “System” on the
Operator Panel Touch-screen (Figure 2, below).
Figure 2 - System Enable, OIT Toggle Switch (Off and On states)
An indicator on the "System" toggle switch provides indication as to whether system operation is
enabled (On/Run) or disabled (Off/Pause). System control power must be ON in order for the "System"
toggle switch to enable overall (master) system operation.
When "System" toggle is switched OFF, all active/enabled processes are suspended/paused and all
outputs for heating and arcing tests are forced off. When "System" toggle is switched back to ON again,
all active/enabled processes that were paused now resume, picking up right where they left off.
Integrity of accumulated values for duration timers and interval counters is preserved, however only
the interval delay timers are allowed to tick down even while the "System" toggle is switched OFF.
“Meter” Toggle
Meter socket power is turned on/off through a toggle push-button switch labeled “Meter” on the
Operator Panel Touch-screen (Figure 3, below).
Figure 3- Meter Socket Power Enable, OIT Toggle Switch (Off and On states)
An indicator on the "Meter" toggle switch provides indication as to whether meter socket power is
enabled (On) or disabled (Off). System control power must be ON in order for the "Meter" toggle switch
to enable meter socket power.
