12 NUCLEUS Installation and Operation Manual
Chapter 2: Operation
Using Panel Controls
All devices controlled by NUCLEUS are operated and monitored using
the front panel controls. The panel controls are divided in to three main
areas: the display area, the static controls, and the dynamic controls.
Before using the panel controls, you must either access a NUCLEUS
configuration, or connect (using an IP address) with device you want to
control.
Additional control panel settings, such as alarm configuration settings
and panel setup options, are accessed through the Options menu. For
more information about the Options menu items, see “Using the Option
Menu” on page 18.
The panel control areas are described in the sections below.
NUCLEUS Display Area
The NUCLEUS display area consists of the QVGA display, scroll/
adjustment knobs, selection/adjustment buttons, and the panel enable
button. The layout and function of the NUCLEUS display area are
specific to the control option that you are using on the panel. This
section only provides general information about the panel’s display
area. See the appropriate NUCLEUS control option configuration and
operation manual for detailed information about using these controls.
