If the LED is Flashing Yellow, it means that the card is selected for local control using the Densité frame’s control
panel. See Section 3.3 for details.
3.3 Local control using the Densité frame control panel
3.3.1 Overview
Push the SELECT button on the HMP-1801 card edge (see Section 1.4) to assign the local control panel to operate
the HMP-1801. Use the control panel buttons to navigate through the menu, as described below.
All of the cards installed in a Densité frame are connected to the frame’s controller card, which handles all interaction
between the cards and the outside world. There are no operating controls located on the cards themselves. The
controller supports remote operation via its Ethernet ports, and local operation using its integrated control panel.
The local control panel is fastened to the controller card by a hinged connector, and when installed is located in the
front center of the frame, positioned in front of the power supplies. The panel consists of a display unit capable of
displaying two lines of text, each 16 characters in length, and five pushbuttons.
The panel is assigned to operate any card in the frame by pushing
the SELECT button on the front edge of that card.
•
Pushing the CONTROLLER button on the control panel
selects the Controller card itself.
•
The STATUS LED on the selected card flashes yellow.
The local control panel displays a menu that can be navigated using
the four pushbuttons located beneath the display. The functionality
of the pushbuttons is as follows:
[+] [–]
Used for menu navigation and value modification
[SELECT] Gives access to the next menu level. When a parameter value is shown, pushing this button once
enables modification of the value using the [+] and [–] buttons; a second push confirms the new value
[ESC]
Cancels the effect of parameter value changes that have not been confirmed; pushing [ESC] causes the
parameter to revert to its former value.
Pushing [ESC] moves the user back up to the previous menu level. At the main menu, [ESC] does
not
exit the menu system. To exit, re-push the [SELECT] button for the card being controlled.
If no controls are operated for 30 seconds, the controller reverts to its normal standby status, and the selected card’s
STATUS LED reverts to its normal operating mode. If a parameter was changed on the card but not submitted
(SELECT was not pressed) and the 30 second timeout occurs, the parameters will be confirmed as if the SELECT key
had been pressed.
