Note the version number of this manual. The version number is printed on the preceding page. It is important that this number is identical to the Unisab III version number, which is shown in the picture Service/Diagnosis/Software/Software version. Never use a manual with lower version than Unisab III.

Unisab III can be linked to and communicate with former Sabroe control units such as Unisab II. Unisab III is operated by means of a front panel as shown in Fig. 3. The front panel is well- arranged with only a few keys and a distinct display.

Unisab III. Unisab III is operated exclusively by means of the front panel keys. Reading of operating con- ditions as well as changing limiting values and set points is carried out via the display. The display contains a number of different pictures.
Fig. 4: Info bar in Unisab III display 1.1.3 Front panel The Unisab III front panel is divided into three sections: The control section - to control the compressor. The menu section - to select menu pictures and change values.

The Enter (check) key has several functions. When changing the set values, pressing this key will enter the change into the Unisab III memory. To make changes, you must use the pass- word provided by Johnson Controls Denmark. As to the encoding of a password, see section 1.1.6.
The function of each key will always be shown in the display above the key. 1.1.4 Menu structure Unisab III includes a number of different pictures for compressor operation, set values, con- figuration, etc. These pictures are built up in a menu system where a certain picture can be selected by means of the arrow keys.
