INFO
*
To distinguish between the Program and Special Program modes, look at the
menu items in the display.
CONTROLLER CLONING
Two of the Special Program Menu items—“Save Controller
Settings in Programmer” and “Load Programmer Settings
into Controller”—allow you to “clone” controllers. To do
this, simply program one controller to the desired settings,
save these settings in the programmer, and then load them
into other similar (same model number) controllers, thus
creating a family of controllers with identical settings.
The
MORE
INFO
key is used initially to access the Special Program mode, and once
you are within the Special Program mode, it is used to perform the desired tasks.
To adjust the contrast in the display window, for example, select “Contrast
Adjustment” by scrolling until this item is at the top of the screen, and then
press
MORE
INFO
to find out how to make the adjustment.
The Special Program Menu is presented at the end of this section.
In the
Special Diagnostics
mode, the controller’s diagnostic history file is
displayed. This file includes a list of all faults observed and recorded by the
controller since the history was last cleared. (
NOTE
: The maximum and minimum
temperatures recorded by the controller are included in the Test Menu.) Each
fault is listed in the diagnostic history file only once, regardless of the number of
times it occurred.
To access Special Diagnostics, first press the
MORE
INFO
key. Then, while
continuing to hold the
MORE
INFO
key, press the
DIAGNOSTICS
key. The LED on
the
DIAGNOSTICS
key will light, just as when the programmer is in Diagnostics
mode.
The
MORE
INFO
key, when used within the Special Diagnostics mode, causes
additional information to be displayed about the selected item.
To clear the diagnostic history file, put the programmer into the Special
Program mode, select “Clear Diagnostic History,” and press the
MORE
INFO
key
for instructions. Clearing the diagnostic history file also resets the maximum/
minimum temperatures in the Test Menu.
