Rogramming, Eter – Red Lion PAXLC8 User Manual

The Totalizer has four programmable parameters which are entered in the
sequence shown above, using the front panel push buttons.
Before programming, refer to the section on Scaling the Meter to determine
the Decimal Position, Scale Factor and Scale Multiplier to use for the specific
application.
Note: Programming mode can be locked out with the Program Disable DIP
switch. With the switch in the Disabled (up) position the meter will not enter
programming mode. Refer to the section on DIP switch setup.
PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY
Press the PAR key to enter Programming Mode. The meter briefly displays
followed by the first programming parameter described below.
PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS
In programming mode, the display alternates between the parameter and the
current selection or value for that parameter. The dual display with arrows is
used below to illustrate the alternating display. The selection choices or value
range for each parameter is shown to the right of the alternating display.
This parameter selects the decimal point position on the
display.
Press the arrow keys ( or ) to sequence through the selection list until the
desired selection is shown. Press the PAR key to save the displayed selection
and advance to the next parameter.
The number of input counts is multiplied by the Scale
Factor and the Scale Multiplier to obtain the desired process value. A Scale
Factor of 1.00000 and a Scale Multiplier of 1 will result in the display of the
actual number of input counts. (See details on scaling calculations.)
The Scale Factor is displayed as a six-digit value with one selected digit
flashing (initially digit 6). Press the (up arrow) key to increment the value of
the selected (flashing) digit. Holding the key automatically scrolls the value
of the selected digit.
Press the (down arrow) key to select the next digit position to the right.
Use the key to increment the value of this digit to the desired number. Press
the key again to select the next digit to be changed. Holding the key
automatically scrolls through each digit position. Repeat the “select and set”
sequence until all digits are displaying the desired Scale Factor value. Press the
PAR key to save the displayed value and advance to the next parameter.
The number of input counts is multiplied by the Scale Multiplier and the
Scale Factor to obtain the desired process value. A Scale Multiplier of 1 will
result in only the Scale Factor affecting the display. (See details on scaling
calculations.)
Press the arrow keys ( or ) to sequence through the selection list until the
desired selection is displayed. Press the PAR key to save the selection and exit
programming mode.
The totalizer may be programmed to reset at each meter power-up.
PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT
The meter exits Programming Mode when the PAR key is pressed to save the
Scale Multiplier selection. The meter briefly displays
upon exiting
Programming Mode. All programmed selections are now transferred to the non-
volatile memory and the meter returns to the Counter display.
(If power loss occurs during programming mode, verify parameter changes
and reprogram, if necessary, when power is restored.)
PROGRAMMING MODE TIME OUT
The Programming Mode has an automatic time out feature. If no keypad
activity is detected for approximately 60 seconds, the meter automatically exits
Programming Mode. The meter briefly displays
and returns to the Counter
display. When automatic timeout occurs, any changes that were made to the
parameter currently being programmed, will not be saved.
FACTORY SETTINGS
The factory settings for the programming parameters are shown above in the
alternating display illustrations. The factory settings can be easily restored by
removing power from the meter, and then pressing and holding the PAR key
while power is reapplied. The meter displays
until the PAR key is
released. The normal power-up sequence then resumes, with the factory settings
loaded and saved in non-volatile memory. The Count is reset to 0.
Note: The Program Disable DIP switch must be in the Enabled (down)
position to allow loading factory settings. See section on DIP switch setup.
