7 APPENDIX

7.1 FMT150 CONTROL MENU TREE

This section explains the operation of the Photobioreactor FMT150 control. Photobioreactor can operate in cultivation

mode by setting the cultivations parameters such as light, temperature, etc. in the menu navigation tree. Please note that

even though various parameters such as chlorophyll fluorescence and OD, temperature, etc. can be measured, the values

and data are not recorded and are only displayed at the time of the measurement. The operation of the PBR control unit

is structured into four levels:

1. Main Menu

2. Four Sub-Menus (Measure, Lights, Thermoregulation, Setting)

3. First-level nested structures

4. Second-level nested structures

The following instructions describe operation of the PBR FMT150 in cultivation mode only.

7.1.1 CONTROL KEYS AND USED SYMBOLS

The Photobioreactor is operated by five keys:

• The “MAINS” key is intended only for service purposes and doesn't have any function related to the common use

of PBR. The Photobioreactor is turned on by switching on the corresponding Power supply.

• The “S” key allows to select a submenu and it is also used as a “Confirm Selection” key. Long pressed “S” key (=

“HS”) is mostly used for moving inside the single menus (scrolling).

• The “M” key allows moving back to a parent menu.

• The two “Scroll” keys allow moving up and down inside the single menu.

Explanation of symbols and color differentiation used in the schematic*:

- SET key (short press)

- MENU key (short press)

- UP/DOWN key

- Hold SET key = SET key (long press)

- SET key (short press or long press)

- Hold MENU key = MENU key (long press)

- MENU key = (short press or long press)

• Full-line arrows are used for the “S” key.

• Dashed-line arrows are used for the “M” key.

• Dotted-line arrows are used for the “UP/DOWN” key.

• Blue color represents the Main Menu.

• Yellow color represents the Sub-Menu items.

• Green color corresponds to the first-level nested structures.

• Orange color corresponds to the second-level nested structures.

* The display of the Photobioreactor does not reflect this color differentiation.
