8.1.1. BASIC INTERFACE, Microcell (Remote)

The interface of the EkoCel is based on a 12 key system with a 2x20 LCD screen. While a user is

not engaged in any system functions the controller is in a RUN MODE. By that meaning the

controller does most of its work while running outside of the user menus.

The 12 key interface is designed around the functions the controller performs continually. The

key lay out and functions of the keys are listed below.
