tings and setpoints, and define inputs and outputs in the
E2. Figure 10-11 and Figure 10-48 show a typical Setup
screen and its primary elements.
Index Tabs
The ten boxes at the top of the screen labeled C1
through C0 are known as the index tabs. These tabs pro-
vide a short index of the screens that are used to set up the
current application. The numbers C1 through C0 represent
the screen numbers (C1 being screen 1, C2 being screen 2,
and so on).
Each of the Setup screens that you may access will
have a name beside its number. But as in Figure 10-11 and
Figure 10-48 for example, you will notice some tabs have
names, while others are blank.
As you move through these screens within the Setup
Editor, the highlight will move to different tabs to indicate
which screen is being displayed.
• Pressing
(PREV TAB) will back-up the order
of the screens.
• Pressing
(HOME) at any point will take you
to the Main Status (Home) screen.
These screens (C1 through C0) contain all of the set up
information that is associated with the selected suction
group.
Blank tabs are inaccessible. There are several reasons
why a tab may be inaccessible (i.e., without a name next to
the number):
• The tab (and the corresponding screen) is unused
and reserved for later revisions.
• The screen may only be accessed when running in
Full Options mode.
• The screen may require one or more fields to be set
to certain values before the screen may be accessed.
For example, a screen containing nothing but com-
pressor proof input definitions might be hidden if
there is a field on another screen that tells the sys-
tem there are no proof checking devices on the
group’s compressors. To access this screen, you
would have to set this field to “YES”.
The screen you are currently in is always highlighted
in the screen’s index tab. For example, in Figure 10-11
and Figure 10-48, because Screen 1 is displayed, tab C1 is
highlighted.
The Help Line
The line near the bottom of the screen above the func-
tion key menu is the help line. The help line this time pro-
vides a short description of the selected field, along with
important information such as minimum and maximum
value ranges, and setup instructions.
The Function Keys For Setup
The five boxes at the very bottom of the screen show
the function of keys
through . Most of these
keys retain the same function no matter which field,
screen, or application is selected in a Setup screen. Table
10-8 shows what each key is used for.
TIP: To see each screen in a typical setup for
the E2 RX controller, start from the Main Sta-
tus (Home) screen.
