CRIMSON SOFTWARE
Crimson software is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website or
it can be purchased on a CD, see “Ordering Information” for part number. The
latest version of the software is always available from the website, and updating
your copy is free.
DISPLAY
This operator interface uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying text
and graphics. The G310C2 display utilizes a cold cathode fluorescent tube
(CCFL) for lighting the display. The G310S2 and G310R2 units use an LED
backlight. The backlight can be dimmed for low light conditions.
Display backlights have a limited lifetime. Backlight lifetime is based upon
the amount of time the display is turned on at full intensity. Turning the
backlight off when the display is not in use can extend the lifetime of your
backlight. This can be accomplished through the Crimson software when
configuring your unit.
BACKLIGHT REPLACEMENT
G310S2 LED Backlight
The LED backlight is not field replaceable. Unit must be returned
to Red Lion Controls for repair.
G310R2 LED Backlight
The LED backlight is field replaceable. Contact Red Lion
Controls for the appropriate part number.
G310C2 CCFL Backlight

applications. Unit must be returned to Red Lion Controls for

backlight replacement kit.
FRONT PANEL LEDS

KEYPAD
The G310 keypad consists of eight keys for on-screen menus.
TOUCHSCREEN
This operator interface utilizes a resistive analog touchscreen for user input.

touchscreen cell in sensed. The touchscreen is fully functional as soon as the
operator interface is initialized, and can be operated with gloved hands.

1. The operator interface is shipped without a configuration. After
downloading a configuration, if the light remains in the flashing state
continuously, try cycling power. If the LED still continues to flash, try
downloading a configuration again.
2. Do not turn off power to the unit while this light is flickering. The unit
writes data in two minute intervals. Later Microsoft operating systems will
not lock the drive unless they need to write data; Windows 98 may lock
the drive any time it is mounted, thereby interfering with logging. Refer
to “Mounting the CompactFlash” in the Crimson User Manual.
Unit is writing to the CompactFlash, either because it is storing
data, or because the PC connected via the USB port has
locked the drive.
