Startup & the Setup Wizard
Booting the
LevelPRO-T
When power is applied to a LevelPRO-T detector connected to the EZ Cal II software,
a message will be displayed on screen informing the user that the system is booting (see
Figure 1-4 ). During the booting process, the only keys on the detector’s keypad that
maintain functionality are the contrast keys, represented by up and down arrows.
Adjusting Contrast
While Booting
If the user adjusts the contrast during the booting process, the detector will save the
new contrast setting once booting is complete. If no change in contrast is made, the
previously saved contrast setting will be applied to the display screen.
LevelPRO-T
Keypad
Overview
The keypad is a five by five membrane keypad comprised of input keys and operational
keys. The numeric keys 0 through 9 and the character keys representing a decimal
point (.) and a dash (-) allow the user to input data into the detector using the keypad.
The arrow keys allow the user to scroll through information on the screens.
Additionally, the up and down arrow keys are used to adjust the display contrast. The
F1, F2 and F3 keys provide different functionalities based on the information on
display. Some of the functionalities include moving the user back to the previous
screen, moving the user forward to the next screen, selecting a field for editing, and
submitting newly-input information.
Using the Keypad
with the Menu
Screens
The menu screens organize data collected by the LevelPRO-T detector into categories
and subjects designed to help direct the user to the correct data. The organization of
the display menu screens is very similar to that of the EZ Cal II software. Using the up
and down arrows allows the user to scroll through the menu items on the display
screen until reaching the desired category of information. Pressing the F1 key will
bring the user back to the previous screen, while the F3 key will move the user to the
next screen associated with the selected menu.
Note: The up and down arrows can only scroll through menu items when
viewing the menu screens. The contrast control function is not available.
Using the Keypad
with the Edit
Screens
The edit screens allow the user to analyze data, interact with the detector, and take
action. Edit screens run in a read mode and a write mode.
Read mode displays data to the user. The screen continues to display up-to-date
information. Pressing the F2 button will open the screen to write mode.
Note: Once a screen has been opened for editing, the up and down arrows
regain contrast control functionality.
