Liquid Crystal Display navigation primer
A user function can display on the LCD a set of measurements, it can execute a command or it can examine the
system status. To select a particular function, the LCD presents a multilevel menu of options: Each option
designates a function or it leads to a lower, more detailed, menu.
• A selected option is indicated by .
• Use the left← and right→ arrow push-buttons to select another option.
• Press the ENTER push-button to call a selected option.
• Press ESC to return to a higher menu level.
• Press any push-button to return from a measurement display function
back to the menu mode.
Short-cuts:
1. Enter any menu. The option that is selected by default is the one that was selected before leaving the menu
by Esc . Example: You are using a function from the MEASURE menu and need to call a function from
COMMAND. Go up to the root (by Esc s) and down to COMMAND... To return to the MEASURE
function, go up to the root, select MEASURE and make a series of blind ENTER s.
2. When a fault is detected, if no push-button is pressed for 20 seconds or if ESC is pressed, REPORT is
automatically called. Quit REPORT and you are back at the previous location.
3. The push-button 0 directly calls the system OVERVIEW function. Quit OVERVIEW and you are back at
the previous location.
In this manual, references to functions are preceded with the path leading to them, beginning from the topmost
menu level, the root. For example, MEASURE\GENERATOR\POWER+PF shows how to call the function
that displays the genset power output and the power factors (cosφ). Ie starting from the root call MEASURE,
call GENERATOR and finally call POWER+PF.
Note!
The contrast of the LCD characters may change slightly with temperature (visibility is guaranteed from -20°C
to +70°C). For adjustment use the trimmer on the rear panel.
Common menu options
OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW is a useful display function. It explains what the controller is doing at any moment. Hence, in
addition to reaching OVERVIEW through the menu, you can call OVERVIEW by:
1. Pressing the 0 push-button at any menu level,
2. Pressing the ESC push-button at the highest (root) menu level.
The following are a few OVERVIEW "snapshots" taken during the operation of a Euro standby generator-set
installation with soft load transfer. See configuration #5 in Applications.
