CRIMSON

®

SOFTWARE

Crimson

®

software is available as a free download from Red Lion’s website,

see “Ordering Information” for part number. The latest version of the software

is always available from the website, and updating your copy is free.

DISPLAY

This operator interface uses a liquid crystal display (LCD) for displaying text

and graphics. The display utilizes an LED backlight for lighting the display. The

backlight can be dimmed for low light conditions.

The LED backlight has a limited lifetime. Backlight lifetime is based upon

the amount of time the display is turned on at full intensity. Turning the

backlight off when the display is not in use can extend the lifetime of your

backlight. This can be accomplished through the Crimson

®

software when

configuring your unit.

FACTORY RESET BUTTON

The factory reset button located in the lower right area of the rear panel can

be used to clear databases from Graphite units using the following steps:
1. Disconnect power to the unit.

2. Using a thin probe (pin or paperclip, etc), press and hold the reset button and

re-apply power to the unit.

3. Continue to hold the reset button until instructions appear on the Graphite

screen (~10 seconds), then release the reset button.

4. Touch the left-hand side of the Graphite screen to clear the database.

TOUCHSCREEN

This operator interface utilizes a resistive analog touchscreen for user input.

The unit will only produce an audible tone (beep) when a touch on an active

touchscreen cell is sensed. The touchscreen is fully functional as soon as the

operator interface is initialized, and can be operated with gloved hands.

TOUCH ICONS

There are user programmable soft keys below the display area (See figure).

These softkeys have dead-front icons and have programmable LED backlights.

Both the operation of the softkeys and the LEDs can be configured using

Crimson.

BATTERY & TIME KEEPING

A battery is used to keep time when the unit is without power. Typical

accuracy (at 25°C) of the Graphite time keeping is less than one minute per

month drift. The battery of a Graphite unit does not affect the unit’s memory, all

configurations and data is stored in non-volatile memory.

Changing the Battery

To change the battery of a Graphite, first remove power to the unit. Remove

the battery cover. Grasp the top edge of the battery and push to the left to remove

the battery from the holder. Lift the battery out and replace with a new battery.

Replace the battery cover, and re-apply power. Using Crimson or the unit’s

keypad, enter the correct time and date.

* Please note that the old battery must be disposed of in a manner that

complies with your local waste regulations. The battery must not be disposed of

in fire, or in a manner whereby it may be damaged and its contents could come

into contact with human skin.

The battery used by the panel is a lithium type BR2032.
