PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (PAR KEY)
The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters can be
programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by pressing the
PAR key. If it is not accessible, then it is locked by either a security code, or a
hardware lock.
Two types of programming modes are available. Quick Programming Mode
permits only certain parameters to be viewed and/or modified. All meter
functions continue to operate except the front panel keys change to
Programming Mode Operations. Quick Programming Mode is configured in
Module 3. Full Programming Mode permits all parameters to be viewed and
modified. In this mode, incoming signals may not be recognized correctly, the
front panel keys change to Programming Mode Operations, and certain user
input functions are disabled. Throughout this document, Programming Mode
(without Quick in front) always refers to “Full” Programming.
MODULE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
The Programming Menu is organized into five modules. These modules
group together parameters that are related in function. The display will alternate
between ,!- and the present module. The arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used to
select the desired module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the PAR
key.
MODULE MENU (PAR KEY)
Each module has a separate module menu (which is shown at the start of each
module discussion). The PAR key is pressed to advance to a particular
parameter to be changed, without changing the programming of preceding
parameters. After completing a module, the display will return to ,!- (*.
Programming may continue by accessing additional modules.
SELECTION / VALUE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
For each parameter, the display alternates between the present parameter and
the selections/value for that parameter. The arrow keys (F1 and F2) are used to
move through the selections/values for that parameter. Pressing the PAR key,
stores and activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter
to the next parameter.
PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (DSP KEY or at ,!- (* PAR KEY)
The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the DSP key (from anywhere
in the Programming Mode) or the PAR key (with ,!- (* displayed). This will
commit any stored parameter changes to memory and return the meter to the
Display Mode. If a parameter was just changed, the PAR key should be pressed
to store the change before pressing the DSP key. (If power loss occurs before
returning to the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)
PROGRAMMING TIPS
It is recommended to start with Module 4 for rate. If lost or confused while
programming, press the DSP key and start over. When programming is
complete, it is recommended to record the parameter programming on the
Parameter User Chart and lock out parameter programming with a user input or
lock-out code.
FACTORY SETTINGS
Factory Settings may be completely restored in Module 9. This is a good
starting point for programming problems. Most parameters can be left at their
Factory Settings without affecting basic start-up. These parameters are
identified throughout the module explanations.
ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY
In the explanation of the modules, the following dual display with arrows will
appear. This is used to illustrate the display alternating between the parameter
on top and the parameter’s Factory Setting on the bottom. In most cases,
selections and values for the parameter will be listed on the right.

6.1 MODULE 2 - User Input and Front Panel Function Key
Parameters (
234(5
)
PARAMETER MENU
Module 2 is the programming for rear terminal user inputs and front panel
function keys.
Three rear terminal user inputs are individually programmable to perform
specific meter control functions. While in the Display Mode, the function is
executed when the user input transitions to the active state. (Refer to the user
input specifications for active state response times.) Certain user input functions
are disabled in “full” Programming Mode.
Three front panel function keys (F1, F2 and RST) are also individually
programmable to perform specific meter control functions. While in the Display
Mode, the primary function is executed when the key is pressed. Holding the
F1 or F2 function key for three seconds executes a secondary function. It is
possible to program a secondary function without a primary function. The front
panel key functions are disabled in both Programming Modes.
In most cases, if more than one user input and/or function key is programmed
for the same function, the maintained (level trigger) actions will be performed
while at least one of those user inputs or function keys are activated. The
momentary (edge trigger) actions are performed every time any of those user
inputs or function keys transition to the active state. All functions are available
to both user inputs and function keys.
Some of the user functions have a sublist of parameters. The sublist is
accessed when PAR is pressed at the listed function. The function will only be
performed for the parameters entered as 6&$. If a user input or function key is
configured for a function with a sublist, then that sublist will need to be scrolled
through each time to access the following user inputs or function keys
parameters.

NO FUNCTION
With this selection, NO function is performed. This is the factory setting for
all user inputs and function keys except the Reset (RST) Key.
PROGRAMMING MODE LOCK-OUT
Programming Mode is locked-out, as long as activated (maintained action).
In Module 3, certain parameters can be setup where they are still accessible
during Programming Mode Lockout. A security code can be configured to
allow complete programming access during user input lockout. Function keys
should not be programmed for ,#*5.
