Test Mode; Main Menu; Password Access - Icar RPC 8BGA Manuel Complet

ICAR PQS
The controller displays the imminent connection or disconnection of the steps with the flashing of their identification number
(above). The flashing can last in cases in which the insertion of a step is not possible due to the reconnection time (discharge time
of the capacitor). If the number above step is light gray, it means that the step is not available because its reconnection time is not
yet expired. The device then waits for the end of the reconnection time.

TEST Mode

The activation and deactivation of the outputs is done as for the manual mode, but without considering the reconnection time.
Once in programming and parameters are set, the unit will automatically exit the test mode.
If you need to enter TEST mode use the appropriate command in the Command menu.

PASSWORD ACCESS

The password is used to enable or lock the access to setting menu (setup) and to commands menu. For brand-new devices (factory
default), the password management is disabled and the access is free. If instead the passwords have been enabled and defined,
then to get access, it is necessary to enter the password first, specifying the numeric code through the keypad. To enable password
management and to define numeric codes, see setup menu M15 Password. There are two access levels, depending on the code
entered:
User-Level access (Usr) – Allows clearing of some recorded values and the editing of a restricted number of setup
