6.2 Parameter lists
Parameters are organised in lists. The top of the list shows

which enable you to set up alarm conditions.

this key is pressed.
The name of the list header appears in the lower display,
followed, after a few seconds, by a scrolling longer
description of the name.
The following example shows how to select the first two list
headers.
6.2.2 To Locate a Parameter

6.2.3 How Parameters are Displayed
As shown above. whenever a parameter is selected it is
displayed as a mnemonic, of four or five characters, for
example ‘A1.TYP’.
After a few seconds this display is replaced by a scrolling
banner which gives a more detailed description of the
parameter. In this example ‘A1.TYP’ = ‘alarm 1 type’. The
scrolling banner is only shown once after the parameter is
first accessed.
The name of the list header is also displayed in this way.
The upper part of the display shows the value of the
parameter.
The lower part shows its mnemonic followed by the
scrolling name of the parameter
6.2.4 To Change a Parameter Value

value, press  to decrease the value. If either key is held
down the analogue value changes at an increasing rate.
The new value is entered after the key is released and is
indicated by the display blinking. The exception to this is
output ‘Power’ when in manual. In this case the value is
entered continuously.
The upper display shows the parameter value the lower
display shows the parameter name.
