Chapter 6 HOW TO ENTER SETTINGS
This chapter describes the idea behind the settings of the µR1800 Recorder. It is
important to read this chapter carefully before entering or changing settings for the first
time.
6.1 Explanation of Modes
To make the operation of the µR1800 Recorder as easy as possible, the operation and
setting are broken down into three modes. These are:
Operation Mode:
This mode is for basic operation, which is the operation on a daily basis, excluding
settings. It includes operations like recording, chart feed, acknowledging alarms,
printing out messages, lists and values.
When the power to the µR1800 is turned ON, the recorder will be automatically in the
operation mode. The operations within this mode are described in chapter 5.
SET Mode:
This mode will be used when setting parameters must be entered or changed. The
parameters include not only settings of range and span, units, alarms, chart speed and
clock, but also auxiliary settings which allow you to use the µR1800’s many functions.
To enter the SET Mode, press the MENU-key for three seconds. To return to the
operation mode, press the MENU-key for three seconds again.
The settings of range and span, units, alarms, chart speed and clock are all described in
chapter 7.
The auxiliary settings (like for example zone recording settings) are all described in
chapter 8.
SET UP Mode:
This mode will be used when initial settings must be changed. These settings are
entered during the manufacturing of the recorder and seldom need to be changed. These
settings include for example alarm relay adjustments, etc. To enter the SET UP Mode,
press the ENT-key while turning ON the power.
Note that when you are in the SET UP Mode, the recording cannot be ON, and alarms
will not be detected.
For a detailed overview of the initial settings, see 6.5.
For a description on how to perform the settings, see chapter 9.
