Using the Front Panel Buttons for Configuration
Use the front panel buttons as follows to adjust the settings:
PROG
Press the PROG (programming) button to access the Setup Menu. Once in
programming mode, the PROG button functions just like an Enter key on a
computer keyboard. Press the PROG button to select a highlighted item or accept
changes, passwords, and trigger resets.
ESC
Press the ESC (escape) button to return to a higher menu or abort a configuration
change.
Navigation
Highlight menu items with the vertical (Up/Down) buttons.
Entering numbers: when a digit is highlighted, pressing the Up button increments
the number by one, and pressing the Down button decreases it. Move the cursor to
an adjacent digit with the horizontal (Left/Right) buttons.
Softkeys
Press a Softkey button when Softkey options become available (when titles appear
in the Softkey title bar). Use Softkeys to select the parameters that you want to
configure from the various sub-menus.
Passwords
All configuration functions in the front panel are password protected. The
password is set to 0 (zero) in the factory. This password allows you to access the
Security setup menu and to disable or change the password for a custom value.
The front panel only prompts you for the meter password before you make your
first configuration change.
Setup Mode Timeout
Once the meter has been configured, the front panel automatically exits the Setup
menu five minutes after the last button press is detected. If the front panel returns
to data display mode, you must re-enter the Setup menu and provide the valid
meter password to resume making configuration changes.
Confirming Configuration Changes
The CONFIRM screen appears whenever you attempt to change the meter’s
settings through the front panel. This allows you to abort an unwanted
configuration change. The front panel also informs you when an entry is out of
range. In either case, you must press the
PROG button to return to the setup screen.
WRITING ERROR Screen
If the CONFIRM screen does not appear for a valid entry, or the display reports a
WRITING ERROR, repeat the configuration change. If the problem persists,
contact Technical Services.
