The push-buttons

The push-buttons allow you to change the value of a menu item. Use the RED (+) button to
adjust a value up; the BLUE (–) button to adjust a value down; or press both
simultaneously for special applications. For a table showing the combinations of rotary
switch positions and button presses used to carry out different functions, see page 41.

Access to a menu item:

Notes:
For a detailed description of each menu item, see Appendix A, page 55: the
functions of each menu item are illustrated in application examples on page 102
to 103.
Change over from Menu LEVEL 0 to Menu LEVEL 1 is only possible at position 0,
from menu item 00 to 10 or vice-versa. (See page 42 for detailed instructions.)
1.
First select Menu LEVEL 0 or Menu LEVEL 1.
2.
Turn the rotary switch to the number of the desired item.

Adjusting the value

Notes:
The push buttons are preset with a delay called the debounce time.
Keeping one or both buttons pressed continuously will trigger an auto-repeat in
some menus.

Select a menu item.
2.
Press the RED (+) or BLUE (–) push button to adjust the value up or down:
acceptance is indicated when the left-most colon on the LCD appears. (You have to
press longer than the debounce time to have the action accepted: the debounce
time varies according to the menu item selected.)

SITRANS LC500 – OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The rotary switch has a small slot where the current position can
be read. The positions are read clockwise, and in increasing order:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F. The position wraps from F
to 0.
The switch can be turned in either direction. When it is turned to a
new position, the LCD displays the new menu selection for 1
second, followed by the data for that position.
Certain menu selections return more than one piece of information
per item: in that case the display alternates between the two
values, for example, PV Value / Fault status.
