6.6 Modes
When the MODE key is pushed one of the MODES LED lights and starts to blink indicating which
“MODES” is active, see Figure 6 - MODES LEDs. This means the Numbered LEDs (1-20) to the right
now only represent the current value/setting of the active MODE. While the MODE is active (MODE
LED is blinking) the user can change the values/settings assuming it is a read/write MODE. Some
MODES such as the REPORT are read only MODES. As stated previously new settings/values are not
change until the ENTR key is pressed. Also some MODES may be skipped over as the MODE key is
pressed because it is not currently available. This could be because in the LAN GUI the feature was
turned OFF. For more information on how to set each MODE, see that MODES description below.
The local control panel times out if there is no keypad activity for several seconds. Unless otherwise
programmed, the mode CFG GRPs LED turns solid, indicating the front panel is in Default Operating
Mode; the Numbered LEDs display the current configuration group.
