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 4-18).
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 4-19 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 4-18 and Figure on page
4-47.
