The product is plug-in for easy maintenance. The electronic part extracts from the faceplate. UNIQUE SELLING POINT The distinctive aspects of the model 650 - 1250 - 1350 controllers are summed up by the following USPs: 1. Flex-view: This function allows the controller to be customized: device frame color, scrolling alphameric messages, combination of display colors.

LAUNCH DOCUMENT: 650 / 1250 (to distributors) [2014/07/10] TECHNICAL SUPPORT CHARACTERISTICS 1. Flex-view Display The information on the display (colors, messages, alarms, help in line) can be customized, making the HMI more efficient. Choosing the color of the controller’s faceplate and the logo makes it easy to adapt to the styling of the equipment on which it is installed.

LAUNCH DOCUMENT: 650 / 1250 (to distributors) [2014/07/10] 2. Easy Setup • Controllers are configurable from the faceplate in very few steps - The controller can be configured with the 4 faceplate keys. - The instruction manual is not needed: from 5 to 15 guided steps, the controller is ready to use.
Page 13
LAUNCH DOCUMENT: 650 / 1250 (to distributors) [2014/07/10] • Configuration with GF Express (from PC) even with the controller off - Controller parameters can be configured with the GF_eXpress configurator. - The configuration menu is guided. - With GF Express you can save parameter recipes and then copy/paste them to the controller.
Page 14
LAUNCH DOCUMENT: 650 / 1250 (to distributors) [2014/07/10] • Configuration with portable configurator (Zapper) - The Zapper copies parameters from the GF_eXpress configurator or from previously configured controllers and pastes them to the controller in question. The operation is very simple: connect the Zapper via USB cable to the controller and press a button to transfer the copied parameters.
