Entering Alphanumerical Data; Security Protection Screens; Operating The Sadpmini; The Setup Menu - Alpha Moisture Systems SADPmini Instruction Manual

Notes
•
Where control values are entered (such as 4-20mA) the currently set value is displayed when
first entering the screen. This allows the user to simply press the '' key and leave the screen
without altering any information. Useful when entering a function by accident.
•
The decimal point (dp) will always appear in the correct location.
•
On some screens when using ºC or ºF the first digit is the negative sign selector. This is either
ON or OFF.
•
Pressing the '' key when the last character is active will make the first character active.

10.3 Entering Alphanumerical Data

(Full Logging SADPmini only)
Some functions such as the "Create TAG" allow the user to enter a combination of
letters and numbers. The principle for entering data is the same as that for entering
numerical data (10.2 above) except that the '' and '' keys scroll through the 26
letters of the alphabet as well as the 10 numerical characters.
Note – There is a dual speed function when entering alphanumerical data. When either the
'' or '' key is pressed and held, the speed of scroll will increase.

10.4 Security Protection Screens

Several of the SADPmini functions can be protected with security codes. These are the
main 'Setup Menu', the 'AutoCal' function, and the 'SPC' (Single Point Calibration)
function. Each of these functions can be protected with an independently activated user
defined 4-digit security code. Once activated, a screen requesting the correct code will be
displayed when the associated function is selected. Failure to enter the correct code will
prevent access to the function. Default setting 1000

11 Operating the SADPmini

11.1 The Setup Menu

(See Appendix A - SADPmini Setup Menu Map)
The setup menu it activated by pressing the '' and '' keys simultaneously. From
this menu, the user has the choice of several options detailed below:

11.1.1 Select Units

Description – This sub-menu has eight options allowing the user to select any one of
seven Moisture Engineering Units and to exit the menu.
Note: - 1) Once an engineering unit is selected, the SADPmini will only display and accept
Operation – In the 'Setup Menu' move the cursor bar to highlight the 'Select Units'
option and press the '' key. The 'Primary Units' sub-menu is displayed. Run
through the options until the required engineering unit is highlighted; confirm the
inputs in that chosen unit. This means that 4-20mA settings (where fitted), offsets
and SPCs are all performed in the chosen units.
2) The 4-20mA range settings are reset to full span whenever the moisture units are
altered.
