7.4  HOW TO OPERATE 

 
The  PEM4  touch  screen  is  designed  in  such  a  way  that  it  is  easy  to  operate  and  self-explaining.  By 
touching  the  keys  on  the  touch  screen  gently  the  next  menu  is  selected,  or  specific  values  can  be 
changed.  
Browsing through the sections and submenus by touching the relevant keys at the touch screen will help 
you to find the information you are looking for. 
 
For detailed information on how to operate the PEM4 + SPU3 system and background information on 
the displayed output, graphs and other indicators please read section 0.  
 

Entering values 

Via a numeric keypad you will be able to change specific values.  
This keypad will be displayed after touching the values in the light grey sections at the touch screen. 
The value will change when a new value is entered and the <Go> key is touched.  
If you do not want to change the value, touching the <Go> key again will close the numeric keypad and 
the touch screen will return to the previous menu.

Backlight  

By touching the <Settings> key at the top right of the touch screen you will find the keys to change the 
brightness of the touch screen. The intensity of the backlight can be changed by touching the < DIM

–  > 

and < DIM+ > keys.  
 

Alarms 

By touching the <Alarms> key at the top of the touch screen the overview with current alarms opens. All 
active alarms are shown in this overview and can be accepted by touching the <Accept> button behind 
the specific alarm. 
 
After ticking the alarm log key all previous alarms are listed and can be scrolled vertically. 
 
In the submenu Signals (raw) you are able to check the raw sensor output of T(T)Sense

, flow meters, 

GPS, etc.
