Accessing And Leaving The Menu; How To Enter Data - Siemens SITRANS F Instruction Manual

Section 1

1.7.1 ACCESSING AND LEAVING THE MENU

Upon first turning the meter on you see a Siemens graphic. This means that there is no active site setup
currently stored in memory. Note that this screen identifies the software version of the meter on the
upper right-hand corner of the display.
Make sure the keypad enable switch is in the correct position then press the <MENU> key to select the
menu. The first time you access the Installation Menu, you can leave it only by sav-ing a site or by turning
the meter off. After installing and activating a site, use the <MENU> key to toggle between a graphic
display screen and the last accessed menu location.

When you press the <MENU> key, the cursor arrives at the first level of the installation menu. Refer to the
sample screens above. The left screen is from a dual-channel model. The right screen is from a single
channel model. Note that two columns, one on the left-hand side and the other on right-hand side, divide
the screen. The first left-hand item, [Meter Type], is highlighted (white type on black). [Meter Type] allows
you to choose a energy meter configuration from the highlighted right-hand column list. With single
channel models, the only option is [Single Channel]. The next left-hand selection is Meter Facilities.
Use the Meter Facilities Menu to set global meter options and controls.

1.7.2 HOW TO ENTER DATA

The left-hand column shows the menu cells (described previously). Another way to think about left-hand
column items is to consider them menu questions. Then you can see that the right-hand column an-
swers these questions. Right-hand column answers can be:
Another series of menu cells (may become left-hand column items when selected).
