PROGRAMMING GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Programming is done through the front panel keypad, which allows the

user to enter into Main Menus, Sub-Menus, and Edit Menus. English

language prompts, flashing parameter values, and the front panel keypad aid

the operator during programming.

Although the unit has been programmed at the factory, the parameters

generally have to be changed to suit the desired application. From the

Indication Display Module, the Programming Module is entered by pressing

the Program/Enter (PGM/ENT) key. This displays “PROGRAM MODE”.

Then press the Select (SEL) key to enter the Programming Module. The Up

and Down arrows are used to scroll through the main menus. Pressing Select

(SEL) from a main menu, allows the user to enter a Sub-Menu where

parameter values can be viewed. Parameter values are changed and entered

in the Edit Menu. There are two types of Edit Menus:

1. A Choice Edit Menu allows the operator to scroll through options by

pressing the down arrow key until the desired option is viewed. The option

is entered by pressing the PGM/ENT (enter) key, which returns the

operator to the previous sub-menu. The operator can exit the Edit Menu

WITHOUT making a selection by pressing the

2. In a Numerical Value Edit Menu, the operator uses the left or right arrow key

to select a digit. The up and down arrow keys change the digit’s value. When

the appropriate numerical value is selected, it is entered by pressing the

PGM/ENT (enter) key, which returns the operator to the previous sub-menu.

All parameter values changed in the Programming Module are saved

when exiting the Module. The operator can exit the Programming Module

from any of the main menus by pressing the

blanks the display while the parameter values are saved in non-volatile

memory. Turning off power before exiting the Programming Module causes

a loss of the new data values entered, and “CHECKSUM ERROR 1” appears

on the display at the next unit power up. Press “ENT” then “SEL” to reenter

the new values. The unit returns to the Indication Display that was last

viewed. Shown at right is the Indication Display Module and the Main

Programming Menus of the MDC unit.
