2.4.8 Working in Configuration Mode
2.4.8.1 Entering and Exiting Configuration Mode
We recommend that you put the controller into standby mode as described in 2.4.3,
before entering the menu system.
To enter configuration mode:
Access the configuration menus by pressing and holding the key until a string of
letters is displayed on the top line (approximately three seconds). The letters
displayed are an abbreviated name of a menu.
When a controller is first powered up, the menus are displayed in the sequence
shown on page 2-5, beginning with the InPInP (input) menu. However, once you leave
the menu system (or are timed out), the controller “remembers” where you were.
When you next press and hold the key, the controller will display the menu that
was on display when you left the menu system. Pressing the key will display the
parameter accessed most recently.
To exit configuration mode:
Return to the normal operating display by pressing and holding the key until the
process variable is displayed on the top line and the setpoint on the lower line.
2.4.8.2 Procedure for Viewing and Changing a Configuration Parameter Value
To view a parameter’s current value:
1. Access configuration mode by pressing and holding the key until a string of

2. Press the key repeatedly to step through the available menus.
3. Once the name of the menu of interest is on the top line of the display, press the

parameter stored in the controller’s database.
4. To step through the parameters in the displayed menu, press the key repeatedly.
5. When the parameter of interest is on display, stop pressing the key. The
abbreviated parameter name will alternate with the value or choice currently stored in
the controller’s database.
6. To change the current choice or numeric value, use the and keys.
7. When the desired choice or numeric value is on display, press the key once.
The displayed choice or value will be written to the controller’s database. The next

be displayed.
