BASIC INFORMATION/ FUNCTION #’s
CHANNEL DEFINITION (FUNCTION #3)
You must understand the operation of the Function (#) Key before any programming can be
done. This key is used in combination with a numeric key to move to the appropriate selection.
Those selections are:
Function #3 will send you to the Channel Definition. This area will allow you to define
how the IMPAX will process the information from each sensor. For more information
see the section on Channel Definition.
Function #4 will send you to the Diagnostics. Please refer to Chapter 8 on Diagnostics
for more information.
Function #5 will send you to Relay Definition. In Version 58 Software, there is much
more than relays defined in this section. This section is actually the definition of how the
IMPAX interacts with the machine. See the section on Relay Definition for more details.
Function #6 will send you to the Timers Area. See the Section on Timers for more
information.
Function #7 will send you to the Downcode Area. See the Section on Downcodes for

more information.
