PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (PAR KEY)
The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters can be
programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by pressing the
PAR key. If it is not accessible then it is locked by either a security code, or a
hardware lock.
Two types of programming modes are available. Quick Programming Mode
permits only certain parameters to be viewed and/or modified. All meter
functions continue to operate except the front panel keys change to Programming
Mode Operations. Quick Programming Mode is configured in Module 3.
Full Programming Mode permits all parameters to be viewed and modified.
In this mode, incoming counts may not be recognized correctly, the front panel
keys change to Programming Mode Operations and certain user input functions
are disabled. Throughout this document, Programming Mode always refers to
“Full” Programming, unless “Quick Programming” is referenced.
MODULE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
The Programming Menu is organized into nine modules. These modules group
together parameters that are related in function. The display will alternate between
 and the present module. The arrow keys ( F1  and F2  ) are used to select
the desired module. The displayed module is entered by pressing the PAR key.
MODULE MENU (PAR KEY)
Each module has a separate module menu (which is shown at the start of each
module discussion). The PAR key is pressed to advance to a particular parameter
to be changed, without changing the programming of preceding parameters.
After completing a module, the display will return to
 . Programming may
continue by accessing additional modules.
SELECTION / VALUE ENTRY (ARROW & PAR KEYS)
For each parameter, the display alternates between the present parameter and
the selections/value for that parameter. The arrow keys ( F1  and F2  ) are used
to move through the selections/values for that parameter. Pressing the PAR key,
stores and activates the displayed selection/value. This also advances the meter
to the next parameter.
For numeric values, the RST key may be used to select a specific digit to be
changed. Once a digit is selected, the arrow keys are used to increment or
decrement that digit to the desired number.
PROGRAMMING MODE EXIT (DSP KEY or at  PAR KEY)
The Programming Mode is exited by pressing the DSP key (from anywhere
in the Programming Mode) or the PAR key (with   displayed). This will
commit any stored parameter changes to memory and return the meter to the
Display Mode. If a parameter was just changed, the
PAR
key should be pressed
to store the change before pressing the
DSP
key. (If power loss occurs before
returning to the Display Mode, verify recent parameter changes.)
PROGRAMMING TIPS
It is recommended to start with Module 1 and proceed through each module
in sequence. If lost or confused while programming, press the DSP key and start
over. When programming is complete, it is recommended to record the
parameter programming on the Parameter Value Chart and lock out parameter
programming with a user input or lock-out code.
FACTORY SETTINGS
Factory Settings may be completely restored in Module 9. This is a good
starting point if encountering programming problems. All factory settings are
listed on the Parameter Value Chart following the Programming section.
ALTERNATING SELECTION DISPLAY
In the explanation of the modules, the following dual display with arrows will
appear. This is used to illustrate the display alternating between the parameter
on top and the parameter’s Factory Setting on the bottom. In most cases,
selections or value ranges for the parameter will be listed on the right.
