Manual (Manual Station)
To manually operate stations, select Manual and press ENTER. Use the Up or Down
arrow key to select the desired station number. Use the ON/YES key to turn the station
On and the OFF/NO key to turn the station Off. A 30 minute run time is automatically set
for the selected station. To change the run time, position the cursor using the Left or
Right arrow key under the digit you wish to change, use the number keys to select the
desired time (1 minute to 4 hours and 15 minutes), then press ENTER. You can repeat
this procedure to run up to six stations at one time. When finished, press the ESC key
twice.
Note: Exceeding the maximum allowable output current when turning on multiple
stations will cause the controller to automatically turn off the station that caused the
condition and flag the station so that it will not run again. This is a safety feature that
prevents an over-current condition from exceeding the output capacity of the satellite. If
the station is checked and found to be electrically safe, remove the disable flag through
the Over Currents (Alarms) menu item.
Auto Slot/Stn (Manual Program Start)
Auto Slot/Station - To manually start or stop any program, open the Auto Slot/Stn menu.
Use the CLUSTER SELECT and the PROGRAM SELECT keys to choose the desired
cluster program you want to run. You may start the program from any slot. It will start
with Slot #1 unless you choose otherwise. Use the Right and Left arrow keys to
maneuver to the slot field in the display. Use the Up and Down arrow keys to select the
desired slot. Use the Left arrow key to place the cursor under the ON/OFF status. Use the
Up or Down arrow keys to toggle the program status. When the ON/OFF
status of the program(s) have been changed as desired, press the ENTER key to confirm.
Press the ESC key twice to exit the Edit mode and allow the internal computer to change
the program status. Allow up to 60 seconds for the changes to take effect.
Note: To stop the manually started Program, use the “All Autos Off” function under the
OPERATIONS Menu. The “All Manuals Off” function stops only stations individually
manually started, not stations started as part of a program.
