17 520 Indicator Installation Manual
3.0 Configuration
To configure the 520 indicator, the indicator must be
placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by
removing the large fillister head screw on the enclosure
backplate. Switch position is changed by inserting a
screwdriver into the access hole and pressing the
switch.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word
CONFIG
is shown on the display. The CONFIG menu is
the first of ten top-level menus used for configuring the
indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are
given in Section 3.2. When configuration is complete,
return to the CONFIG menu and press the (
ZERO
)
key to exit setup mode, then replace the setup switch
access screw.
3.1 Configuration Methods
The 520 indicator can be configured by using the front
panel keys to navigate through a series of configuration
menus or by sending commands or configuration data
to the EDP port. Configuration using the menus is
described in Section 3.1.3.
Configuration using the EDP port can be accomplished
using either the EDP command set described in
Section 9.0 or Version 3.0 or later of the Revolution
®
configuration utility.
3.1.1 Revolution Configuration
The Revolution configuration utility provides the
preferred method for configuring the 520 indicator.
Revolution runs on a personal computer to set
configuration parameters for the indicator (see
S e c t i o n 5 . 0 o n p a g e 4 4 ) . W h e n R e v o l u t i o n
configuration is complete, configuration data is
downloaded to the indicator (see Section 5.3 on
page 45). Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the
Revolution configuration displays.

3.1.2 EDP Command Configuration
The EDP command set can be used to configure the 520
indicator using either a personal computer or terminal.
Like Revolution, EDP command configuration sends
commands to the indicator EDP port; unlike
Revolution, EDP commands can be sent using any
external device capable of sending ASCII characters
over a serial connection.
EDP commands duplicate the functions available using
the indicator front panel and provide some functions
not otherwise available. EDP commands can be used to
simulate pressing front panel keys, to configure the
indicator, or to dump lists of parameter settings. See
Section 9.0 on page 50 for more information about
using the EDP command set.
