WARNING: Disconnect primary power prior to servicing.
If the User Setup is locked, all setup functions and the exciter power raise and lower
functions will be locked and their various setup screen selection values will be greyed out.
Only the Exciter Setup screen Frequency and Frequency Offset functions and the change
Diagnostics password will be available.
Refer to Figure 3-31. Touching any of the eight boxes on the System Setup screen brings
up the setup sub screen for that area, see Table 3-2 to find the page numbers for the sub
screens. Within any of these screens, touching Home returns to the main screen, touching
back returns to the System Setup screen, and touching Fault (at the bottom of the screen,
visible only if a fault exists) brings up the System Status screen. See Figure 3-2, on page
3-5 for a view of the exciter LCD display flow chart.
When a numeric entry is needed, touching that entry causes a numerical touch pad to be
displayed. This pad has numbers from 0 to 9, a decimal point, and a +/- selection.
An alpha numeric key pad is displayed when a title is needed.
