2.2 XMT868i Enclosure Keypad Program
Along with the 2-line, 16-character LCD, the XMT868i includes a 6-key magnetic keypad. The decal cutout for each
key contains a hall effect sensor, pushbutton switch and visible red LED. The magnetic wand used to activate a
magnetic key is found attached to the meter chassis below the front panel. An operator activates the key by pressing the
magnetic wand up to the glass lid over the desired key. The LED will light indicating a successful key press.
Note: The pushbutton switch will also act as a key press but is done with the glass cover removed. Do not use the
pushbutton switch in a hazardous area where the glass cover needs to be in place.
Use the magnetic keypad to navigate through the user program. The menu map may be followed in sequence, or the
four arrow keys may be used to scroll through the prompt screens. Figure 13 below shows the front of the XMT868i,
with magnetic keypad and magnetic wand.

• [] and [] - enable users to highlight a specific window in the display option or to scroll through a list of
options (parameters, letters, and numbers 0-9 as well as the negative sign and decimal point) in a menu
• [] and [] - enable users to scroll to a specific option, among choices in an option, or to a character in a text
entry.
