The main menu is displayed when the API-64 is powered up, when you exit from any of the other menus or
the system times out of another menu. A system time out occurs when no data or programming changes
have been made while in another menu for 30 seconds. If a system time out occurs, data changes that have

64EM). 01 is the ID number of the API-64 Alphanumeric Interface and 02 through 16 are the ID numbers
of the expansion modules. Only the ID numbers of devices connected to the network are displayed. If there
are 3 expansion modules (API-64EM) on the network then this part of the display would read "01 02 03

replaced by "--".
