2 Operation
When the installation is complete, and power is connected to the operator unit, the system is switched on-o
by a power switch inside the cabinet. See “Fig. 3.4. AC Voltage selection and fuses.” on page 41.
Parameter entry
The xed function buttons, the soft key buttons and the rotating encoder allow the user to adjust the
parameters, setpoints and other data. The following owchart illustrates the procedure for changing settings
and entering data. The various screens are shown in detail later.
Example of parameter entry
Suppose you want to enter a value of 800 m for the depth range. The present setting is 100 m. Press the
DEPTH RANGE button and keep it pressed while you turn the encoder clockwise. Observe the depth range
increase to 800 m, let go of the encoder and release the DEPTH RANGE button. You could also have started
from the standard value 1000 m and decreased to 800 m by turning the encoder counter-clockwise.
Buttons with less than 6 possible states or values can be operated without using the encoder at all. The setup
will be remembered when the unit is turned o.
