B&C Technologies M720 Dryer Control (DE, DP, DI Series) - Manual (Page 36)

4.7 System Setup Menu
The System set-up menu is a menu with items which are not directly related to the control func-
tions of the machine itself but define the complete installation and user interface. The available
items are used to set-up some extra features of the controller.
4.7.1 Adjust Date and Time
Password level 1 is required to be able to adjust current date and current time. When the item
Adjust date & time is chosen from the System setup menu the screen will show the current date &
time in the display, with the cursor blinking on the first edit-field (the day field in the date). The
current date can only be viewed and edited in a DD-MM-YYYY format. The displayed time is in
HH:MM format.
The programmed date and time are internally used in the controller to create an alarm history list
with start times and active times (see Section 4.8 on page 35) and for the counters per day. At the
moment a new day begins according to the date and time programmed in this controller, a new
counter record for the new day will be created (see Section 4.4.2 on page 19).
To adjust the value of the field where the cursor is, use the numeric keys and/or the P LUS and
M INUS keys. Confirm the new value with the E NTER key. The cursor can be moved to the next or
previous edit field with the A RROW D OWN and A RROW U P keys.
4.7.2 Change Language
Password level 2 is required to change the language of the controller display. When Change lan-
guage is chosen from the System setup menu, the first line will tell the user to select a language
from the list. The 2
nd line shows the name of the current language, like for example E NGLISH . Now,
a language can be selected with the A RROW U P and A RROW D OWN keys. When the language is
selected, this choice can be confirmed with the E NTER key.
Because the M720 controller has a full world-wide character set, it is possible that the controller is
set to a language which can not be read and/or understood. This can also happen if the language
is accidentally changed to another language.
If this happens, it would be difficult to go through the available menus and find the Change lan-
guage item again. Therefore, a work-around is available. When switching the controller off and
on again, the start-up logo (or an empty screen) will be shown for around 4 seconds. If, during this
time, the S
HIFT key and the E NTER key are held simultaneously, the screen to change the language
will be activated as well, so another language can be selected.
