| Q |
Why should I check the Setup Page before programming a profile? |
| A |
Complex, sophisticated profile control is possible with the Series F4. The two or three analog inputs, four digital inputs, four control outputs (two for a single-channel controller), two alarm outputs, two retransmit outputs and eight digital outputs must be configured correctly. Don't assume that the controller has been set up correctly for the profile you want to program and run. Checking the Setup Page first will save time.

| Q |
Why can't I program a Ramp Rate step on Channel 2? |
| A |
Ramp Rate is available only on single-channel controllers.
|
| Q |
Why can't I set the Channel 2 parameters? |
| A |
Channel 2 parameters do not appear in single-channel controllers, or Input 2 is off in a dual-channel controller.
|
| Q |
Why can't I adjust the set point to get the value I want? |
| A |
Check the configuration of the inputs (Setup Page) and the set point limits (Setup Page).
|
| Q |
Why don't the digital inputs and outputs appear as "wait for" conditions? |
| A |
They must first be configured as events in the Setup Page.
|
| Q |
Why can't I delete a particular step of my profile? |
| A |
You cannot delete a step that another step jumps to, or a step that is an End step.
|
| Q |
Why can't I delete the End step? |
| A |
Every profile must have an End step, and this End step is programmed into the profile. If you wish to add a step before the end, use the Insert Step command under the Edit Profiles Menu.
|
| Q |
I just programmed the profile, but when I press the Profile Key nothing happens. What's wrong? |
| A |
You must return to the Main Page before running a profile. The Profile Key does not function from any other page but the Main Page.
|
| Q |
How do I know which profile is running? |
| A |
When a profile is running, the profile name and current step number appear on the Main Page. You may have to scroll up or down on the main page to find this information.
|
| Q |
Why can't I access certain pages, menus or parameters? |
| A |
The parameters you are looking for may not be available in your model of controller. The hardware module containing the feature may not be installed.
The OEM that installed the F4 may have locked users out of certain pages and menus.
The F4's software may have been locked by a supervisor, or someone else at your facility.
