3.3.1 SSPA commands

The SSPA commands are in a tree structured menu format

designed for access and execution of all control functions, and

to prevent the execution of an invalid entry by the operator.

When the prime power is turned on, the LCD display will contain a

message indicating the SSPA model number and the version number

of the firmware installed in the SSPA.

To select a Command Function press the "ENT" button on the

key-pad. The LCD display will indicate:

SELECT

CONFIGURATION MENU

This will provide the local operator access to the Command

Function Menus, which is the top level structure to start the

selection of Command Function Menus to input into the SSPA. To

sequence to the next Command Function Menu press a "DOWN" or "UP"

arrow button on the key-pad. The SSPA will step to the next

Command Function Menu each time a "DOWN" or "UP" arrow button is

pressed. The current Command Function Menu will be displayed on

the LCD display. The Command Function Menus are shown in Figure

3-1.

To select a specific Command Function Menu press the "ENT"

key-pad button. If a function is selected in error, press the

clear ("CLR") button which will return the SSPA to the main

command menus to allow the selection of another function. Any

one of the five Command Function Menus can be selected using this

procedure.

Once a Command Function has been selected, use the "RIGHT"

or "LEFT" arrow key-pad buttons to sequence through the Operating

Mode Commands. Each of the modes will be displayed on the LCD

display. A specific operating mode is selected by pressing the

"ENT" button. If an mode is selected in error, press the clear

("CLR") button which will return the SSPA to the operating menus

to allow the selection of another mode.
