    Predefined Default 2 (D2) decoder at the factory. This default set meets most users’ needs. You can reset your PowerWedge 10 to one of the predefined default sets by scanning one of the following bar codes: *$+$-D0EE*...

  • Page 19: Auto-Learn

    Programming the PowerWedge 10 Auto-Learn Auto-Learn is the simplest method of customizing the PowerWedge 10. With Auto-Learn, you “teach” the decoder to accept the types of bar codes you use. The current settings for the PowerWedge 10 remain unchanged unless they are explicitly set during Auto-Learn programming.

  • Page 20: Menu Programming

    Menu Programming This programming method makes use of a “menu” of bar codes found on the bottom of the PowerWedge 10. You can use these bar codes to enter the programming I.D. numbers and settings listed in Programming Options on page 34 To program the PowerWedge 10 using the bar code menu .
