NOTE: Not every prompt listed here or on p. 11 in the Operations Menu will appear in your unit. Prompts vary with
lockout function and output set-up. Whether or not prompts appear in the Operations Menu depends on two features of
the Series 935A:
•
Lockout function; the Lockout Tag
[`tAg]
function masks prompts from view in the various menus. (If you cannot see a prompt,
you can make no change.) See Using Lockout Functions, p. 18, for more information.
•
Output 1 and 2 Configuration; some outputs are mutually exclusive. For example, if Output 1 is Alarm, then Output 2 cannot be
Timer. Therefore, the Operations menu will have no timer-related prompts. See the Valid Output Functions Table, p. 3, or Setting
Up Inputs and Outputs, p. 20.
