Using the Transmitter User Interface
Startup Using ProLink IITransmitter User InterfaceBefore You Begin
3.5.3 Using display menus
Note: The display menu system provides access to basic transmitter functions and data. It does not
provide access to all functions and data. To access all functions and data, use either ProLink II or a
customer-supplied PROFIBUS tool.
To enter the display menu system:
1. Activate
Scroll and Select simultaneously.
2. Hold
Scroll and Select until the words SEE ALARM or OFF-LINE MAINT appear.
Note: Access to the display menu system may be enabled or disabled. If disabled, the OFF-LINE
MAINT option does not appear. For more information, see Section 8.9.
For entry into certain sections of the display menu:
• If a password has been enabled, you will be prompted to enter it. See Section 3.5.4.
• If a display password is not required, you will be prompted to activate the optical switches in a
pre-defined sequence (
Scroll-Select-Scroll). This feature is designed to prevent unintentional
entry to the menu caused by variations in ambient lighting or other environmental factors.
If no optical switch activity occurs for two minutes, the transmitter will exit the off-line menu system
and return to the process variable display.
To move through a list of options, activate
Scroll.
To select from a list or to enter a lower-level menu, scroll to the desired option, then activate
Select. If
a confirmation screen is displayed:
• To confirm the change, activate
Select.
• To cancel the change, activate
Scroll.
To exit a menu without making any changes:
•Use the
EXIT option if available.
• Otherwise, activate
Scroll at the confirmation screen.
3.5.4 Display password
Some of the display menu functions, such as accessing the off-line menu, can be protected by a
display password. For information about enabling and setting the display password, refer to
Section 8.9.
If a password is required, the word
CODE? appears at the top of the password screen. Enter the digits
of the password one at a time by using
Scroll to choose a number and Select to move to the next
digit.
If you encounter the display password screen but do not know the password, wait 60 seconds without
activating any of the display optical switches. The password screen will time out automatically and
you will be returned to the previous screen.
3.5.5 Entering floating-point values with the display
Certain configuration values, such as meter factors or output ranges, are entered as floating-point
values. When you first enter the configuration screen, the value is displayed in decimal notation (as
shown in Figure 3-3) and the active digit is flashing.
