Section 5: Programming
5.1 Introduction
The ATC-800 is fully programmable from the device’s faceplate or
through the communications port. Users can reprogram setpoints
as well as other parameters. The time and date can be changed
while the device is in either the Run Mode or the Program Mode.
Setpoints, however, can only be changed while the device is in
the Program Mode.
5.2 Entering and Exiting the Program Mode
To enter the Program Mode, move the Run/Program Toggle
Switch located on the right rear chassis to the Program position.
Once the Program Mode is activated, the Program LED blinks red
and continues until the Program Mode is exited.
When programming changes have been completed, the Program
Mode is exited by moving the Run/Program Toggle Switch back to
the Run position. At that point, the Automatic LED continues to
blink green, the alphanumeric display shows the word “Program”
for a short period, and the Program LED will no longer be illumi-
nated. It is also at that point when any setpoint changes are saved
in the device’s non-volatile memory.
5.3 Programming Procedures
Once the Program Mode has been entered, use the Display Select
Pushbutton to move to the Setpoints Display. The Setpoints LED
will be lit red and the first programming possibility will appear in
the display. Use the Step Pushbutton to move from one feature
setpoint to another, stopping at those in need of reprogramming.
Use the Increase or Decrease Pushbuttons to move the display to
a new setpoint selection. Once a new setpoint selection has been
made, move to the next feature in need of change. Once all set-
points are displayed as required, exit the Program Mode and the
new setpoints are automatically stored.
5.4 Programmable Features/Setpoints
All ATC-800 programmable features and associated setpoint pos-
sibilities with any required explanations are presented in Table
2
.
Remember, only features originally ordered and factory pro-
grammed will appear in the display.
NOTICE
ALTHOUGH ALL ATC-800 PROGRAMMABLE FEATURES ARE
ADDRESSED IN THIS SECTION, ONLY THOSE ORDERED BY THE
CUSTOMER AND INITIALLY PROGRAMMED AT THE FACTORY WILL
APPEAR IN THE DISPLAY FOR PROGRAMMING CHANGES IN THE
FIELD.
NOTICE
WHILE IN THE PROGRAM MODE, ATC-800 IS NEVER OFF-LINE AND
CONTINUES TO FUNCTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH PREVIOUSLY
PROGRAMMED SETPOINTS.
NOTICE
IF NO PUSHBUTTON ACTIVITY IS DETECTED FOR APPROXIMATELY
2 1/2 MINUTES WHILE IN THE PROGRAM MODE, THE SETPOINTS
LED IS CLEARED AND THE ALPHA-NUMERIC DISPLAY IS BLANKED.
ANY PREVIOUSLY MADE SETPOINT CHANGES ARE NOT SAVED,
SHOULD THIS OCCUR.
NOTICE
WHEN THE TOGGLE SWITCH IS IN THE PROGRAM POSITION,
REMOTE COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAMMING IS INHIBITED.
NOTICE
CHANGING THE SYSTEM NOMINAL VOLTAGE OR FREQUENCY SET-
POINTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY CHANGE ALL THE PICKUP AND
DROPOUT SETTINGS TO NEW DEFAULT VALUES.
