5.1 Introduction to the operation
5.1.1 Control unit
The Programat P510 G2 is equipped with a widescreen colour display. The furnace can be intuitively operated by means of
the membrane-sealed keypad and the touch screen. The touch buttons can be actuated by slightly tapping the display with
the fingertip and the furnace runs the desired function.
The user interface in the display is divided into three sections:
1.
Information bar
(e.g. indication of the current furnace temperature, selected program type, etc.)
2.
Main screen
(e.g. editing firing programs, changing the settings, etc.)
3.
Navigation bar
(e.g. scrolling, scrolling in higher levels, calling up favourite programs, etc.)
