(bAcKsPAce ArroW) Key
The Backspace key is used to back up the cursor on the LCD display when using the alphanumeric keypad.
“.” (Period) Key
When the controller is in the Manual Mode, pressing the “.” key briefly displays the current controller software
revision letter and the date of the release.
The “.” key also functions as a decimal point when entering numbers in the math channel.
AlPhAnuMeric Keys And shift Key
The Alphanumeric Keys (also referred to as the keypad) are used to input numeric parameters during setup and
calibration and customer-defined IDs.
The Shift LED is located below the Auto LED on the faceplate. Pressing the Shift Key toggles the Shift LED on
and off. The effect is described below:
• Shift LED not illuminated — pressing an Alphanumeric Key types the number shown on the key.
• Shift LED illuminated — pressing an Alphanumeric Key types a letter labeled above the key. Pressing the
key repeatedly toggles the display through the three letters labeled above the key. When the desired letter
is displayed, pressing the Enter Key or a different Alphanumeric Key advances the cursor one space to
the right. See
Figure 8: Characters Available for Customer-Defined ID .Enter Key
The Enter Key has several functions:
• The Enter Key is used to save in memory any parameter set up in the menus. For example, if you enter
an operating span value in the Main/Calibration/Span Menu, pressing the Enter Key saves it to memory.
The value remains in memory until a new value is entered.
• When entering a vessel ID, the Enter Key advances the cursor one space to the right.
• When the UltraWave Series controller is vessel monitoring in Manual Mode, pressing the Enter Key
toggles the display from numerical format to bar graph format. The display remains in the bar graph
format (even when the controller is turned off and back on again) until the Enter Key is pressed to toggle
back to the numerical format.

Note: The Sensor Key only works if you are at the “end” of a menu; i.e., where the screen allows you to enter a
value or select from a list of choices on the display. If you press the Sensor Key, the display changes to:
