3.3.1 Description
The front panel keypad allows direct access to PQMII functionality. The keys are used to 
navigate through message pages, allowing the user to modify settings and view actual 
values from the device location.
3.3.2 Menu Key
Setpoints and actual values are arranged into two distinct groups of messages. The MENU 
key selects the main setpoints or actual values page. Pressing 
MENU while in the middle of 
a setpoints or actual values page returns the display to the main setpoints or actual values 
page. The 
MESSAGE keys select messages within a page.

Pressing the ESCAPE key during any setpoints or actual values message returns the user to 
the previous message level. Continually pressing

edited value. An acknowledgment message will flash if the new setpoint is successfully 
saved in non-volatile memory. The

default messages. Refer to 3.4: Default Messages for details.
