Set Points
A set point is a condition, measurement, or baseline that a user establishes in order for something else to happen
(such as when to start or stop a generator). The MATE3 allows a user to view, monitor, and establish all the
settings and values that occur while the system is running. Occasionally components may be added or upgraded,
electrical loads increase, or patterns of usage may change. These settings and values can be adjusted to match.
On screens with set points, the control wheel
E
serves two functions: navigation and set point adjustment.
o
Set points are adjustable settings for each specific menu item.
o
Set points will vary depending on the system configuration.
o
When a screen with set points is available, the present selection is identifiable by a black line around the item. To change
the setting, follow the instructions below.
To change set points:
1.
The black line around an item shows it is in
Field Select
mode. In this mode, the control wheel
E
can switch between all
selectable fields or items on the screen. A clockwise movement on the control wheel scrolls to the next field. A
counterclockwise movement (
L
) scrolls to the previous field as shown in
K
.
2.
When the desired item is selected, press the center button
F
. The box around the field should become solid black as
shown in
M
. This shows it is in
Adjust Set Point
mode. The selectable field becomes an adjustable set point.
3.
Use the control wheel
E
to change the set point value as shown in
N
.
4.
When the set point is correct, press the center button
F
again to return to
Field Select
mode.
5.
Repeat Steps 1-4 for each set point to be adjusted. The screens below show an example of scrolling through the
System Information
menu and selecting a different
System Type
.
Ports
If a screen shows a port number in the upper right corner, those settings only apply to that particular device.
Other devices can be individually selected by using the
PORT
key
D
. Screens with no port designation, such
as those shown on this page, are for system-wide changes.
