Operation The LCD Display
If a device does not exist at the selected address, an Invalid Point error message will display. Press “NEXT POINT” or “PREVIOUS
POINT” to read the next/previous programmed point of that type. If communicating with an NFS-320, NFS2-640, or NFS2-3030, the
NCA-2 will automatically proceed to the next point. In either case, an error message will indicate if there are no further devices of that type pro-
grammed.
