A. APM 150 Keypad and Menus
The APM 150 Keypad
Each key has two different functions. The primary
function is shown above the diagonal line on the
key's surface. The secondary function is shown
below the diagonal line. A more detailed
description of each function follows.
In the RUN mode, if a key is held for less than
three seconds, the primary function is activated.
When a key is held for more than three seconds,
the secondary function is activated. The
exceptions to this are the ↑ and ↓ keys. Because
they are used to move between menu options,
these keys do not function in RUN mode.
may cause the meter to react slowly to a key push.
The reaction time of a key push will vary with
different functions (1–3 seconds). Do not push a
key twice because of a slow response time. Doing
so may result in accidental activation of a
secondary function or duplication of a desired
function.
Primary Key Functions:
This key is used to turn the
ON/OFF
instrument on or off when in the
RUN mode. If the instrument is in
any other mode, pressing this key
will exit that function and go back
to the RUN mode without making
any changes.
