Software Programming
Programming the PresSura Room Pressure Controller is quick and easy if the
programming keys are understood, and the proper key stroke procedure is followed. The
programming keys are defined first, followed by the required keystroke procedure. At the
end of this section is a programming example.
NOTE: It is important to note that the unit is always operating when programming. When
a menu item value is changed, the new value takes effect immediately after
saving the change, not when the unit returns to normal operating mode.
This section covers programming the instrument through the keypad and display.
If programming through RS-485 communications, use the host computer’s
procedure. The changes take place immediately upon saving data in the
instrument.
Programming Keys
The four keys with blue characters (refer to Figure 4) are used to program or configure
the unit to fit your particular application. Programming the instrument will change how the
unit functions, so thoroughly review the items to be changed.
Figure 4. Programming Keys.
MENU Key
The MENU key has three functions.
1. The MENU key is used to gain access to the menus when the unit is in
the normal operating mode. Pressing the key once will exit the normal
operating mode and enter the programming mode. When the MENU
key is first pressed, the first two menus are listed.
2. When the unit is being programmed, the MENU key acts like an escape
key.
- When scrolling through the main menu, pressing the MENU key will
return the unit to standard operating mode.
- When scrolling through the items on a menu, pressing the MENU
key will return you to the list of menus.
- When changing data in a menu item, pressing the MENU key will
escape out of the item without saving changes.
3. When programming is complete, pressing the MENU key will return the
unit to normal operating mode.
