Model 3000 Survey meter User’s Manual Section 4
Ludlum Measurements, Inc. Page 4-4 April 2021
Entering Setup Mode
To enter Setup Mode, power down the Model 3000, then turn the unit back
ON. Following the display of the Firmware version, when the instrument has
begun normal operation, press the MODE button three times (within four
seconds) to enter Setup mode.
Note:
This process is different if you are in Sigma Audio Mode, rather
than in the “click” Audio Mode. While trying to enter Setup Mode
with Sigma Mode enabled, once the screen displays the firmware
number and then begins the Sigma countdown, press the Mode
button three times. Do not wait until the countdown is complete,
which will prevent you from getting into the Setup Mode. There is
no countdown for the “click” Audio Mode.
Entry to Setup Mode can be confirmed when the numeric portion of the display
shows P-1, indicating the first setup page is selected. If you simply wish to view
the parameters, select the desired Setup Page by tapping the MODE button.
Tap the UNITS button to advance through the parameters available on the
selected Setup Page. To return to normal operation, advance back to the Setup
Page selection by pressing the UNITS button for at least a half second. Pressing
the UNITS for at least a half second again will exit, or holding the UNITS
button for approximately 5 seconds will exit from anywhere in the menu.
Note:
If the menu is not exited properly any changes made will not be
saved.
SETUP PROTECT: By default, the Model 3000 is shipped with DIP
Switch 2 in the OFF (back) position and all available Model 3000
parameters may be modified in Setup mode. To protect the Model 3000
from changes in Setup mode, open the instrument and slide DIP Switch 2
(the rightmost switch) to the ON (forward) position to enter Setup Protect
mode.
There are three different options when DIP Switch 2 is configured for
Setup Protect mode.
Normal: All Parameters are protected from change through the
Setup menu.
