and can influence the reading of the instrument.
ON/OFF: This key has a double function. By pressing this key for various
seconds the unit will turn ON and repeating the same will turn OFF.
The other function associated with this key it that it controls the LCD light. By
pressing quickly and lightly the LCD Displays lights up or the Display is not lit.
MODE: This key works in a continuos cycle in 3 possible function modes, which
can be selected. They are:
SET: Once the mode has been selected, pressing the SET keys enters the
instrument in sub menus that must be selected to configure the instrument to the
options required.
↑UP ARROW: This key has a double function. With this key we can select the
menus and sub menus to the option required.
The other function of this key is that it is related to the Display contrast light. By
pressing quickly and lightly and on the display will appear a contrast scale bar.
By continuing to press this key the contrast scale bar will show the contrast scale
and the actual Display light will continue to become dimmer.

except enhances the light of the Display.
Once we have selected one of the 3 modes, to select menu and sub menus we
use the keys SET, ↑UP, ↓DOWN. With the instrument ON we make the first
selection by pressing the key SET, by doing so the first menu appears in which
we can select between ANGLE, ROT (Rotation sense) and EXIT. Once one of the
3 choices are made, press again SET, and another sub menu will appear in
which we can choose the type of angle reading between [0 – 360º] or [+-
180º], and for the phase angle positive rotation sense, whether they are lagging
or leading between [CCW] o [CW]. (CCW= Counter clockwise and CW=
clockwise). Once everything has been selected for the reading, then select EXIT
and press SET.
The settings made both in Display light contrast and the sub menus selected are
stored and are the parameters and are displayed in future measurements. In this
way when the equipment is turned off and used at a later date it is not necessary
to reconfigure everything again. The last settings made are maintained.
