6.0 Operation
6.1 Main Display Screen
The Main Display screen of the MCX-32 controller displays eight channels of information at a time. One or
more ‘tabs’ may be displayed near the top of the channel display area. Each of these tabs displays information
for eight channels. Touching one of these tabs will cause the screen to display the eight channels associated
with that tab. In normal operation, the screen will loop through each tab displaying all of the channels that are
programmed into the controller. Each display of eight channels will remain on screen for approximately ten
seconds and will then move to the next tab if available. If there are any alarms active, the screen will remain
on the display with the channel that is in alarm. If more than one channel is in alarm and the channels are in
different tabs, the screen will alternate between the tabs with active alarms. Channel information is displayed
in rows and each row provides the channel number, the channel description, the current sensor reading, the gas
type, and any active alarms or faults. Selecting a channel on the screen will open the Channel Details screen
for that channel, and display all of that channel’s information.
