The Main Display is a backlit LCD that has 4 lines by 40 characters. In normal operation the channel’s
information will be displayed as “01> XXXX ppm GAS”. If any channel is in an alarm condition, “01>
XXXX IN ALARM ” will be displayed. If any channels are in Fault, they will display “01> XXXX IN
FAULT ”. Any channels are not communicating with the controller will be displayed as “01> XXXX
COMM ERROR ”. Fault and Alarm conditions are also displayed by the use of four (4) LED indicators on the
front panel. The LED’s are labeled ALARM 1 (yellow), ALARM 2 (amber), ALARM 3 (red) and FAULT
(blue).
The 1640 user interface consists of four function keys on the front panel. These keys are labeled: “PROG”,
“u” (Up Arrow), “v” (Down Arrow), and “ENTER”. The “ENTER” key doubles as a “RESET/ACK” key and
is labeled as such.
