The display that automatically follows depends on the way the controller has been supplied or re-configured and is
described in the following sections.
4.1 New Unconfigured Controller
If the controller is supplied new with the Configuration Code = ‘P’ (section 1.5.2) then it is unconfigured and will
start up requesting the ‘Quick Configuration’ codes. This is a built in tool which enables you to quickly configure
commonly used functions such as the input type and range, the outputs and digital input functions.
!
Incorrect configuration can result in damage to the process and/or personal injury and must be carried out
by a competent person authorised to do so. It is the responsibility of the person commissioning the controller to
ensure the configuration is correct.
4.1.1 Quick Configuration Code
The quick configuration code consists of two ‘SETS’ of four characters. The upper section of
the display shows the set selected, the lower section shows the four digits which make up the
set.
Adjust these as follows:-
1. The first character ‘-‘ will be flashing.
2. Press or to enter the required code shown in the quick code tables - section 4.1.3
3. Press accept the change and to scroll to the next character.
