3.1.3 RS232 PROGRAM PORT
This port is intended for connection to a portable PC. Setpoint files may be created at any location and downloaded through
this port with the 489PC software. Local interrogation of setpoints and actual values is also possible. New firmware may be
downloaded to the 489 flash memory through this port. Upgrading the relay firmware does not require a hardware
EEPROM change.
3.1.4 KEYPAD
a) DESCRIPTION
The 489 messages are organized into pages under the headings
SETPOINTS and ACTUAL VALUES. The key navi-
gates through the programmable parameters (setpoints) page headers. The key navigates through the measured
parameters (actual values) page headers.
Each page is divided into logical subgroups of messages. The and keys are used to navigate
through these subgroups.
The key is dual purpose. It is used to enter the subgroups or store altered setpoint values.
The key is also dual purpose. It may be used to exit the subgroups or to return an altered setpoint to its original
value before it has been stored.
The and keys scroll through variables in setpoint programming mode and will increment/decrement
numerical setpoint values. These values may also be entered with the numeric keypad.
The key may be pressed at any time for context sensitive help messages.
