10.6 Common Screen Ele-
ments

10.6.1 The Header

The first two lines at the top of the E2 screen are

referred to as the screen header. This area of the screen
contains the time and date, controller name, subnet and
node number, and alarm and failure notifications. In addi-
tion, it contains highlighted indicators and icons to show
when a user is operating in a particular mode, such as full
options, edit, macro record, or insert mode.

If the E2’s Global Data feature is being used to supply

outside air temperature and outside relative humidity val-
ues, these values will also be displayed in the header.

10.6.1.1 Header Icons

At the very top of every screen in the E2, there are

icons that indicate various stages of activity, number of
users logged into the controller, battery alerts, connectivity
status, and more.

10.6.2 The Function Keys

At the very bottom of every screen in the E2, there are

five boxes labeled

 through . These boxes are

the function key descriptions. The function key descrip-
tions show what each of the five function keys do when
pressed. (Options will vary depending on the type of con-
troller being used.)

Function key usage often varies depending on which

screen or field E2 is currently in.

10.6.3 The Help Line

The line directly above the function button menu is

called the help line. The help line displays information
about the currently selected field, such as general descrip-
tions, possible ranges, and other information to help a user
maneuver around and/or configure the field.
