Status” and “Programming” menu.
ACCESSING AND USING MENUS
Resources are arranged in a menu, which
can be accessed by pressing and quickly
releasing the “set” key (“Machine Status”
menu) or by holding down the “set” key
for more than 5 seconds (“Programming”
menu).
To access the contents of each folder, indi-
cated by the relevant label, just press the
“set” key once.
You can now scroll through the contents
of each folder, modify it or use its func-
tions.
If you do not use the keyboard for over 15
seconds (time-out) or if you press the
“fnc” key once, the last value shown on
the display is confirmed and you return to
the previous screen mask.
MACHINE STATUS MENU

To access the “Machine Status” menu Press
and quickly release the “set” key.
If alarms are not present, the label “SEt”
appears. By using the “UP” and “DOWN”
keys you can scroll through the other fold-
ers in the menu:
-AL: alarm folder (if present);
-Pb1: probe 1 value folder;
-SEt: Setpoint setting folder.
Set Setting

the “UP” and “DOWN” keys; the folders
contain the level 1 and 2 parameters. The
level 2 parameters may be protected by a
second password (parameter “PA2”).
To enter the folder, press “set”. The label
of the first visible parameter appears. To
scroll through the other parameters, use
the “UP” and “DOWN” keys; to change the
parameter, press and release “set”, then

“DOWN” keys, and confirm with the “set”
key to move to the next parameter.

time it is changed the configuration of the
parameters: this prevents malfunctioning
on regulation and delay time occuring.

COPY CARD
The Copy Card is an accessory connected
to the TTL serial port which allows pro-
gramming quickly the instrument parame-
ters. The operation is performed as fol-
lows:
Fr-Format
This command allows copy card format-
ting, an operation recommended in case
of first use.
Warning: if the copy card has been pro-
grammed, using the “Fr” the data entered
are erased. This operation cannot be can-
celled.
UL-Upload
This operation loads the programming
parameters from the instrument.
dL-Download
This operation downloads to the instru-
ment the programming parameters.
The operations are performed accessing
the folder identified by the “FPr” label and
selecting, according to the case, “UL”, “dL”
or “Fr” commands; the operation is con-
firmed by pressing the “set” key. If the
operation is successful an “y” is displayed,
on the contrary, if it fails a “n” will be dis-
played.
NOTE:
• UPLOAD: instrument --> Copy Card
• DOWNLOAD: Copy Card --> instru-
ment.
KEYBOARD LOCKING
The instrument includes a facility for dis-
abling the keyboard, by programming the
“Loc” parameter (see folder with “Dis”
label). If the keyboard is locked, you can
still access the programming menu by
pressing the “set” key.
