Page 14: Keyboard
Use instructions Structure and characteristic Analyser  SCREEN LCD display has big dimension ¼ VGA (320*240 pixel) with inverse visual (lighter written), of blue colour. Best luminosity level. Possibility to change contrast. It permits to see at the same time all measures made by analyser in numerical form. In the main page you can change the display contrast with the up and down arrows.
Page 15 Use instructions POWER ON / OFF To turn on the analyzer press the secrete key below the word biotecnogas for more than 3 second. The following page will apper for 60 seconds during that the analyzer warm up the sensors and inizialise the system.
Page 16: Numeric Visualization
Use instructions Numeric visualization It’s the main window on witch you can read all the sensor reading by system. More important values (Oxygen, Carbon Anhydride, and Methane) are showed with large characters for long distance easy reading. Main window On first line on the left it appear the ID of the well. On first line on the right are showed date and time, the internal watch work also when the analyser is off.
Page 17 Use instructions Function key Press F1 key to view the main screen. Press F2 key to edit the well ID. Press key from 0 to 9 to insert character and numbers. Press the key up and down to set the lower or upper case character. Push more times a numeric key from 0 to 9 untill the desiderated key is not show.
Page 18 Use instructions Press F4 key to go on the log page where you can see the data save on the instrument. In this page you can move between the memorize data using the left and right arrow. Press F5 key to go on the ID wells name page, where you can see the list of the well ID. You can chose the right well ID moving beween the ID using arrows, when the cursor in on the right name you can confirm it with enter key .
Page 19 Use instructions Insert well ID name In the main page press the key F2 to show the following page. Main page Write the ID name with the alfanumeric keyboard of the analyzer. Push enter key to confirm the ID name. Now in the main page the ID just write will be show in the ID name location.
