Understanding the Panel

CONTROL KEY

To control your Pinnacle supply from the panel, select local mode by pressing the CONTROL
key on the panel until the LOCAL LED lights. Placing the unit in local mode gives you full
access to the front panel menu (see Figure 4-5 on page 4-17).
To control the Pinnacle supply from the Serial interfaces or the DeviceNet port, press the
CONTROL key until the HOST LED lights. To control the Pinnacle supply from the User
port, press the CONTROL key until the USER LED lights. When the Pinnacle unit is in host
or user control mode, you can view all the menu items, but you cannot modify parameters or
lock the display.

OUTPUT DISPLAY SCREEN

The first screen that appears on the panel's vacuum fluorescent display when you power up is
the "output display screen." See "Two-Line Output Display Screen" on page 4-18 for more
information.
Viewing Output Information
The output display screen shows the actual output level in volts, amps, and watts or kilowatts.
(See the front panel drawings at the end of the "Installation" chapter.) It also displays the
setpoint.
Selecting Setpoint
To program the setpoint level from an active control panel, use the panel's CONTROL key to
select local control mode (the LOCAL LED will light). Then turn the MODIFY knob until the
setpoint you want is displayed. (See below for more information about the MODIFY knob.)

SOFT KEYS

The five unlabeled soft keys directly below the vacuum fluorescent display let you select
menu choices. Menu choices appear on the second line of the display. Since different
selections (different menu levels) are displayed at different times, this manual refers to the soft
keys by whichever terms are displayed above them. For example, you are instructed to press
the ARC soft key when ARC is the menu choice directly above that particular key. See Figure
4-5 on page 4-17 and Figure 4-6 on page 4-20.
