2 Operating PAL-AT
PAL-AT lists the primary functions in the Main Menu. The LCD displays two menu functions at a time.
Read the display carefully. PAL-AT prompts for the information it needs. The PAL-AT label has an integral
12-digit keypad to enter 0-9, * and #.
PAL-AT has a password system to prevent unauthorized access. PAL-AT requests a password if the
current password is not authorized to enter the selected function. Password access time is very short,
ranging from 2 minutes to 60 minutes for selected functions. If the allowable time for the selected function
expires without any keypad input, PAL-AT will automatically go to the Monitor function if any cables are
on-line.
In the following LCD message examples, question marks (?) represent numbers on the LCD. “TIME” and
“DATE” represent a display of a specific time or date.
The Main Menu Functions are:
1. Monitor Cable 2. History of Events
3. Setup Cable 4. Verify Cable
5. Display Setup 6. Set Clock
7. Password Entry 8. Special Functions
The procedure for adding a new cable is to use function 3, Setup. At the completion of Setup, PAL-AT
automatically creates a master map and executes the Verify and Monitor functions.
2.1 Setup
PAL-AT uses this function to enter cable and probe data into the PAL-AT memory. A level 200 password
is required (see section 2.8). While PAL-AT is in the setup function, it is not monitoring any cables
previously setup.
To select this function from the Main Menu, enter 3#.
