(see
Table 4
). Each display group has supporting data in sublevels.
The bottom push button allows you to sequentially view and select the display groups.
The top push button allows you to sequentially view the levels within a display group.
The push buttons double as status indicators:
The top push button lights when an error condition exists.
For a single error, the push button stays lit until the error condition report is viewed.
For multiple errors, the push button remains lit until the last error condition report is viewed.
The bottom push button lights when the audible alarm is muted or disabled.
