System Operating Status.
Two indicators show the start/stop mode status of the DECS-200. in Start
mode, the START indicator changes from gray to red. In Stop mode, the STOP indicator changes from
gray to green. A button is provided for toggling between Start and Stop modes.
Pre-position Set.
Clicking this button adjusts the excitation setpoint to the pre-position value.
Fine Adjustment.
Clicking the Raise button increases the active operating setpoint. Clicking the Lower
button decreases the active operating setpoint. The raise and lower increment is a function of the setpoint
range of adjustment and the active operating setpoint. The raise and lower increment is a function of the
setpoint range of adjustment and the active mode traverse rate. The increments are directly proportional
to the adjustment range and inversely proportional to the traverse rate.
