3-2.5 Operating Instructions
The following paragraphs give general operating instructions for a stand-alone system.
3-2.5.1 NORMAL OPERATION
There are no active events such as alarms or troubles during Normal Mode

supervised circuits for any changes of state.
The LCD display shows the “System Status Normal” message, the time and date,
and an optional user-defined custom message as shown in Figure 3-2.

3-2.5.2 MENU OPERATION
The ARIES has a built-in menu structure. This menu structure has been
implemented to aid users with system operating functions. The following
paragraphs describe the menu structure, how to access the menu, menu
functions, and how to exit the menu.
An operator can use menu operation to:
• Isolate initiating devices and/or outputs
• List configuration settings and the application program
• Adjust configuration settings
• Initiate manual testing procedures
An operator cannot use menu operation if:
• He is attempting to access the main menu via an RDCM while another
operator already has access to the system
• Another operator already has access to the system through the
configuration program’s terminal-emulation mode (Refer to the ARIES
Programming Guide for information on terminal-emulation mode.)
Any of the following events cancel Menu operation:
• An alarm signal
• An operator presses the <Backspace> Key at the main menu.
• A period of 60 seconds elapses from the last pressed key.
