Communicating with the Pump
Place the PPC near the Pump when the screen displays,
“PPC COMMUNICATING.” The word "COMMUNICATING" will blink as
indication of successful communication. If a communication link between the
PPC and Pump is not established, a “TELEMETRY COMM ERROR 3” message
will appear. The PPC will beep six times once every minute until the screen is
acknowledged by pressing SEL and ACT. The screen will then display “PPC
COMMUNICATING” again.
After a communication is established between the PPC and Pump and program
information is successfully transferred to the Pump, the PPC will beep once and
return to the Time/Date screen.

changes before pressing the button again.
• A flashing value on the screen means that the value is activated, and can be
changed by pressing the arrow buttons.
