Power On
When power is first applied to the Series C, all segments of
the LED displays will be momentarily illuminated while the
instrument goes through a series of diagnostic checks to
verify proper operation. A software version number will then
appear in the lower display, followed by a configuration code
(upper display) and the communications protocol which is
supported (lower display).
IMPORTANT: On initial startup, there is a possibility that
outputs may be activated. We recommend placing the unit
in Standby mode until you have configured the controller
according to your application requirements. To place the
controller in Standby, follow this procedure:
1) Press and hold Mode/Enter
key until
a menu label appears in upper display
(approximately three seconds).
2) Press Raise
or Lower key until
appears in the lower display.
3) Press Mode/Enter
key. (The upper display will
alternate between and process value.)
Operations Overview
The user interface of the Series C allows you to use menus to
set up the instrument, set the desired security level, change
the setpoint, and conveniently change operating modes.
Figure 9 on page 15 provides a functional representation of
the user interface and the key presses necessary to perform
the basic functions.
The Series C controller’s
functional hierarchy
is organized into three
distinct user-program-
mable groupings:
Security Level, Menu
System, and Operating
Mode.
Please provide the
software version
number, communications
protocol, and the
controller’s full model
number, when contacting
us regarding your
controller.
