DISPLAY MODE

The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. In this mode, the meter

displays can be viewed consecutively by pressing the DSP key. The annunciators

to the left of the display indicate which display is currently shown; A, B, or C.

Each of these displays are programmable and can be locked from view through

programming. (See Module 3.)

PROGRAMMING MODE

Two programming modes are available.

Full Programming Mode permits all parameters to be viewed and modified.

Upon entering this mode, the front panel keys change to Programming Mode

operations. This mode should not be entered while a process is running, since

the meter functions and User Input response may not operate properly while

in Full Programming Mode.

Quick Programming Mode permits only certain parameters to be viewed and/

or modified. When viewing parameters (SP1, etc), the front panel keys

change to Programming Mode operations, and all meter functions continue to

operate properly. Quick Programming Mode is configured in Module 3. The

Display Intensity Level “” parameter is available in the Quick

Programming Mode only when the security code is non-zero. For a

description, see Module 9—Factory Service Operations. Throughout this

document, Programming Mode (without Quick in front) always refers to

“Full” Programming Mode.

PROGRAMMING TIPS

Programming the unit using Crimson programming software is recommended.

The following tips are helpful when programming using the unit front panel

keys. The Programming Menu is organized into ten modules (see above). These

modules group together parameters that are related in function. It is recommended

to begin programming with Module 1 and proceed through each module in

sequence. Note that Modules 6 through 8 are only accessible when the

appropriate option card is installed. If lost or confused while programming,

press the DSP key to exit programming mode and start over. When programming

is complete, it is recommended to record the meter settings on the Parameter

Value Chart and lock-out parameter programming with a User Input or lock-out

code. (See Modules 2 and 3 for lock-out details.)

FACTORY SETTINGS

Factory Settings may be completely restored in Module 9. This is a good

starting point if encountering programming problems. Throughout the module

description sections which follow, the factory setting for each parameter is

shown below the parameter display. In addition, all factory settings are listed on

the Parameter Value Chart following the programming section.

ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY

In the module description sections which follow, the dual display with arrows

appears for each programming parameter. This is used to illustrate the display

alternating between the parameter (top display) and the parameter’s Factory

Setting (bottom display). In most cases, selections or value ranges for the

parameter will be listed on the right.

STEP BY STEP PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS:

PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (PAR KEY)

The Programming Mode is entered by pressing the PAR key. If this mode is

not accessible, then meter programming is locked by either a security code or a

hardware lock. (See Modules 2 and 3 for programming lock-out details.)

MODULE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)

Upon entering the Programming Mode, the display alternates between 

and the present module (initially ). The arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used

to select the desired module, which is then entered by pressing the PAR key.

PARAMETER (MODULE) MENU (PAR KEY)

Each module has a separate parameter menu. These menus are shown at the

start of each module description section which follows. The PAR key is pressed

to advance to a particular parameter to be changed, without changing the

programming of preceding parameters. After completing a module, the display

will return to  . From this point, programming may continue by selecting

and entering additional modules. (See

MODULE ENTRY above.)

PARAMETER SELECTION ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)

For each parameter, the display alternates between the parameter and the

present selection or value for that parameter. For parameters which have a list of

selections, the arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used to sequence through the list

until the desired selection is displayed. Pressing the PAR key stores and activates

the displayed selection, and also advances the meter to the next parameter.

NUMERICAL VALUE ENTRY (ARROW, RST & PAR KEYS)

For parameters which require a numerical value entry, the arrow keys can be

used to increment or decrement the display to the desired value. When an arrow

key is pressed and held, the display automatically scrolls up or down. The

longer the key is held, the faster the display scrolls.

The RST key can be used in combination with the arrow keys to enter large

numerical values. When the RST key is pressed along with an arrow key, the

display scrolls by 1000’s. Pressing the PAR key stores and activates the

displayed value, and also advances the meter to the next parameter.

PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (DSP KEY or PAR KEY at  )

The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the DSP key (from anywhere

in the Programming Mode) or the PAR key (with   displayed). This will

commit any stored parameter changes to memory and return the meter to the

Display Mode. If a parameter was just changed, the PAR key should be pressed

to store the change before pressing the DSP key. (If power loss occurs before

returning to the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)
