Configuration
When the power is applied to the meter, a display test begins automatically to check the
function of LED’s and digits. Once this test is finished the display shows the internal software
version and then the unit goes to
RUN
mode.
Configuration follows a structure composed of a number of menus and submenus. By pressing
ENTER
key, display shows
“Pro”,
pressing again allows access to the main menu level which
includes the menus for input configuration (
InP
), display configuration (
dSP
) and relay
setpoints configuration (
SEtP
) if relays are present in the meter.
If configuration has been totally locked-out, when pressing
ENTER
key to get into main menu,
display shows “
dAtA
” instead of “
Pro
”. This indicates that it is only possible to see programmed
information and that it is not allowed to modify any parameter from the entire configuration. In
this visualization mode, the meter automatically switches back to
RUN
mode after 15 seconds
since last key press.
MAIN MENU
ENTER
:
Vertical displacement / Validates data.
UP
:
Increases active digit value.
SHIFT
:
Horizontal displacement / Changes active digit.
Once inside each menu, all configuration parameters are sequentially shown and they can then
be introduced or edited by pressing
ENTER
key. Numeric values must be entered digit by digit,
by first selecting the digit using the
SHIFT
key and then changing its value with the
UP
key.
When the desired display value is reached, press the
ENTER
key to validate the data and move
forward to next configuration step.
Data entered or changed during configuration are stored in device memory only when
configuration routine belonging to the respective submenu is completed, not before. On last
routine step and after having pressed
ENTER
key, display indicates “
StorE
” and the unit goes
back again to
RUN
mode.
Input Configuration
The first menu corresponds to input configuration. This, in turn, consists of four submenus, one
for each input type: process (
ProC
), temperature (
tEMP
), potentiometer (
Pot
) and resistance
(
rES
).
