The CP-220A displays the parameter just programmed ([PARAMETER
NUMBER 36]) with its first digit flashing, indicating its request for the next
parameter number.
You can reach
PARAMETER 37
in one of several ways. Press either:

MANUAL SOUNDER OFF M/DD/YY HH:MM:SS
Background:
PARAMETER 37
is an adjunct to
PARAMETER 04
(see page 2-9), which
was used to globally enable or disable the CP-220A's Internal Sounder. This
sounder calls the operator's attention to an incoming data transmission or to
an error message. If it's enabled (in
PARAMETER 04
), and the CP-220A is
being operated in the MANUAL Mode (see page 2-103), the sounder will
function according to how
PARAMETER 37
is programmed.
In the
MANUAL
mode, each message received by the unit is stored in a
buffer and then routed to the display each time the
NEXT
key is pressed. It
is therefore possible for several messages to be held "in memory" until
they're actually displayed.
If this parameter is set for [MANUAL SOUNDER OFF] (the default), each
new message will cause a 2-second beep to occur, alerting the operator who
may otherwise be occupied. If set to [MANUAL SOUNDER ON], the beep
will sound continuously, under the same circumstances, until the
NEXT
key
is pressed. If other messages are "in waiting," the beep will once again sound
continuously while the process is repeated, until all alarms have been
displayed.
NOTE 1: Regardless of how the parameter is set, all incoming messages will
be sent to an attached printer as they occur, even if they remain
in the display buffer.
