CHAPTER 13: LCD/Keypad

13.1 General LCD/Keypad Information
The Multiserver 5000 has an LCD (Liquid Crystal
Display) and a keypad on the front of the unit. The
80-character LCD consists of two 40-character lines.
The LCD is used to display status and alarm
messages, as well as diagnostic and minimal
configuration menus. When you turn on the
Multiserver, the LCD will display the banner
message, the current system time, a current alarm
or event (if any), and its time. Functions performed
at the keypad are for the local Multiserver only (no
remote functions are possible).
The four arrow keys and the EXEcute key control
all the menu action. Every key on the keypad will
repeat an action in rapid succession if it is held
longer than one second. This is valuable for a quick
exit from any menu to the top level. Just press the
up arrow and hold it until the banner message
appears. This is also valuable when selecting text.
During a test the LCD will display Test [Test
Name] Activated in the lower right side. When
the test is again selected from the previous menu
(and the test has not been terminated), the display
will read Active.
Should an information message appear which
relates to the function being attempted (such as
Out Of Range), press any key to clear that
message and the display will return to where you
were in the menus. See Appendix D for a list of the
LCD messages.
