Battery replacement The units have a lithium battery used for data security of the real-time clock. The battery can explode if replaced improperly. Grounding All devices are equipped with a metal housing. They comply with safety class I and require a protective earth connection. The connecting cable for the operating voltage must contain a protective earth wire of a sufficient cross section (DIN VDE 0106 part 1, DIN VDE 0411 part 1).
Chapter 2 Unit description Model designation The model designation of the units is: SX502-xxx/xx/xx-xxx/xx-P0 x = The 'x's in the model designation indicate the size and design of the units. Unit construction The following figure shows model type SX502-220/05/xx-xxx/xx-xx as example for the other model types.

Serial interface The serial interface RS232 is determined for programming the device using a computer, for example for loading static texts in the text memory and for installing character sets by means of the PC tools 'DisplayManager' provided on data carrier. The interface RS232 is located on a D-Sub connector with the following assignment: –...
Chapter 3 Character display LED-matrix The characters are displayed on an LED matrix. A matrix module is 16 LED dots (pixels) high and, depending on the unit version, the following number of pixels wide: Unit versions SX502-x20/xx/xx-xxx/xx-xx: 120 pixels Unit versions SX502-x40/xx/xx-xxx/xx-xx: 240 pixels Character display The units feature several different character sets, which will be elaborated on later.

Thus the distance between the first and second lines is the same as between the second and third lines. The SX502 series also includes units with three or four vertically arranged matrix modules. They can display six or eight lines with the Acala 7 character set and three or four lines with the Acala 14 condensed character set.
Chapter 4 Control Text memory The text is compiled using the PC tool 'Text Manager' delivered on data carrier and loaded in the text memory via the serial interface. After that, they can be opened via their text number. Function table The control of the device is done acc.
Texts into which variables are to be inserted are given placeholders for the variables (up to 256). After the text call [1 ... 6] the placeholders are dark. The variables appear in the display when they are encoded in binary form at the data inputs K7 ...
Chapter 5 Parameterization Menu display The parameterization of the devices is carried out in a menu of the menu display. In normal operation, the status messages appear in the menu display. Menu operation To start the menu, press both menu buttons simultaneously (approx. 1 sec.) until the first signal appears in the menu display.

Initial text Once the operating voltage has been applied, an LED dot in the upper left-hand corner of the display illuminates to indicate that the unit is ready for operation. If an initial text is to appear in the display instead (e.g. 'System operational'), this text is to be stored in the text memory with text number 0, and displaying of the initial text is to be set in menu item 20.

Chapter 6 Status messages Fault messages Serious faults due to improper operation or faulty operating conditions are indicated in the display. The following messages are possible: Fault message Cause Elimination No Text The text called up is not saved in the The text is to be loaded into the fixed text memory.
