15.  Special Functions Key – K35* 
15.1.  Introduction 
The K35* firmware allows for the <FUNCTION> key to be configured to a range of 
special functions. As the K356 firmware allows for setpoints, there is an additional 
special function available where the key can be used to gain access to the setpoint 
threshold values.  
Refer to KEY.FN  
(Key Functions) page 36 to configure the function key.  
When leaving the factory, the <FUNCTION> key is blank and has no function pre-
programmed. Each function has an associated overlay sticker supplied that should 
be applied to the function key to label the function. Ensure the keypad is clean and 
dry before affixing the sticker. Refer to Cleaning page 8 for more information. 
15.2.  Key Functions

15.2.2. TEST 
Press the <TEST> key to clear the display then show all segments of the display then

Press and hold the <COUNT> key for two seconds. The default number of items in the
