PRESET Modifications

This indication shows that the value of one or more parameters has been temporarily modified with
respect to the values stored in the PRESET shown.
Practically speaking, this indication means that the changes made to the PRESET have not been
stored.

N.B.: once it has been enabled, the indication remains even if the “original” values are reset manually.

The indication disappears as soon as the PRESET is saved or as soon as a new PRESET is loaded
(including this same PRESET).
In other words, the indication disappears as soon as stored values are accessed.

If the PRESET isn’t saved, temporary changes are lost as soon as a new PRESET is loaded (including
this same PRESET).

N.B.: temporary changes are kept on the other hand in the “buffer memory”: when the unit is switched on, the system

maintains exactly the same settings as when the unit was switched off, including temporary changes.

These indications appear when the 

LOCK

 function (

UTILITY

 menu) is enabled, i.e. when the system is

totally (

T

) or partially (

P

) protected against accidental or unauthorized changes (even if temporary).

Protection is ensured by a 

password

, without which editing procedure can’t be unlocked.
