Basic Setup

These are the basic parameters for all Belt applications. Selecting this item from the
Main menu will present a screen asking you to enter a Password. The default factory
setting is "5678". Upon successful entry of the password, you will be presented with the
following list of parameters:

Units...

Decimal Points...

Design Capacities...

These parameters must be set correctly before any other settings. If you later change
any of the above, other settings (i.e. Limits) may not behave correctly and also need to
be reset.
Units
(Main Menu > Basic Set-up)
This parameter refers to the Units in which data are displayed. There are imperial and
metric units for the following data: Belt Speed (i.e. ft/min, m/s, m/min); Belt Load (i.e.
lb/ft, kg/m); Totals (i.e. TN, kg, t); Lengths (i.e. ft, m); Feedrate (i.e. lb/min, lb/h, TN/h,
kg/min, kg/h, t/h). The most common combinations of the above units are presented
in groups. You should select the group that best suits your needs.
Decimal Points
(Main Menu > Basic Set-up)
These parameters select the number of digits to the right of the decimal point for the
following data: Weight/Load; Totals; Length; Feedrate; Speed. The maximum number
of decimal places for any of these data is four. They may be set individually and will
determine the precision with which the data are displayed or entered. For example if
the units of Length have been set to meters (m), and the number of decimal places to
3, then you may enter length data, and it will be displayed, to the nearest millimeter.
When you select Units from the Basic Setup menu, the current setting is highlighted.
You may scroll up or down to select a new group, then press Enter.
