b) Screen Display

(The display figures are in gray tone for clarity.)

The Startup Screen shows the following information:

03:54:53

Current Time /

12/25/2008

Current Date.

ID#:001

Displays the unique 3-digit number that identifies the Field Controller on the Field

Controller network (i.e. address . If the unit is also used as a repeater, REP appears in

the ID# field.

*A*

This icon is only an indication that an alarm occurred in the controller.

Stations: 08

Displays the total number of stations configured for the Field Controller. If the

unit also controls decoders, then the number of stations and decoders appears.

For example, STNS: 08 + 274 would indicate that 8 stations and 274 decoders

are configured for the Field Controller.

System Status / Current Activity

Displays the current status and activity of the Field Controller as one of the following:

OFF appears if the Field Controller is off or in the rain shut

down mode meaning no automatic programs will run. When

the word OFF is not there the controller is ON and will run an

automatic program if it is triggered by one of its cycle starts.

REP appears in the ID# field if the unit is used as a repeater.

Message Dialogs

Important message dialogs will appear during normal

programming functions. This line means that a message

came in from controller 990 on port 2; there is no need to

acknowledge anything it is only a message that tells you

the controller got a message from another controller or the

software. To get rid of the message just hit ESC.

Section B

Turning Stations ON

and OFF

Manually Starting and Stopping

of Stations

Section B describes the procedures to start and stop stations manually. Detailed Descriptions can

be found in the “GALAXY Field Controller Programming Guide, DOCGALPG550.”

There are 2 ways to start or stop stations, either thru using (a) Manual Modes Menu or (b) Smart

Switch Activation.

a) Using Manual Modes Menu

Using the Main Menu to Activate Stations

The above “Manual Modes” sub-menu options perform these tasks:

•Manually starting or stopping a station.

•Manually starting or stopping a program.

•Stop all active stations on the Field Controller.

•Stop all active stations on the site. In order to use this option, there must be a means of

communication between the Field Controllers on the site.

There are optional parameters to set specific DELAY durations.

The Delay Time duration, HHMMSS, is an optional parameter.

•If the Delay Time duration is omitted in an ON operation, no DELAY is used and the

station starts immediately. If used, it defines the DELAY duration, after expiration of this

duration the Station will start.

The Run Time duration may be used by itself without specifying the Delay Time duration, but if using

the Delay Time duration the Run Time duration must be specified.

Neither of the parameters is required for OFF operations.
