COMMAND 01 PERSONALITY
Command 01 Personality is used to manipulate the crane calibration data.
The system stores two sets of data in EEPROM IC7.
“A“ Active Personality (IC7) –contains the data actually used by the main program.
“B“ Backup Personality (IC7) –contains a “protected” copy of the calibration data.
COMMAND 01 FUNCTION
♦DISPLAYS THE STATUS OF THE PERSONALITY SETS.
♦MOVES DATA BETWEEN THE TWO SETS.
♦DELETES DATA FROM THE ACTIVE PERSONALITY.
♦COPIES DATA TO A BACK-UP CHIP.
♦RETRIEVES DATA FROM A BACK-UP CHIP.
When the command is first selected (after copying data), both “A” and “B” sets are checked for
correct Check-Sum. This is indicated on the display screen by “Good” or “Bad.”
Set “A” is also checked against set “B.” Data that is identical is indicated by “Same” or if not the
same, by “Diff.”
Data can be moved using selected sub-commands and the calibration
security code. Data entered may also be aborted before completion of the
routine. Special care must be taken when working with the sub-commands
as some of the sub-commands can cause previously entered data to be
irretrievably lost.
SUB-COMMAND 01/0 SAVE SAVES “A” INTO “B” (“B“DATA IS LOST).
SUB-COMMAND 01/1 XCHG EXCHANGES “A” WITH “B” (DATA IS NOT LOST).
SUB-COMMAND 01/2 INIT INITIALIZES “A” PRIOR TO NEW CALIBRATION (“A“DATA IS
LOST).
SUB-COMMAND 01/3 BACK COPIES THE ACTIVE CALIBRATION TO A BACK-UP CHIP
(DATA IS NOT LOST).
SUB-COMMAND 01/4 RETR RETRIEVES THE CALIBRATION FROM A BACK-UP CHIP
(PREVIOUS “A“DATA IS LOST).
Power to the system should be switched off before inserting or removing
any integrated circuits. Failure to observe this precaution may cause
permanent damage to the system or its components and result in the loss of calibration data.

NUMBER ENTRY
The MicroguardRCI 500 does not have number entry keys. When numerical entry of data is
required, the display will change to allow the entry of numbers.
• A strip like the one below will appear with numerals from 0 to 9 followed by the three
symbols shown.
• The upper left corner identifies the Command (in this case, 06 Pressure). The upper
right displays each numeral as entered until the complete number to be calibrated
appears, including decimals and minus sign.
• The keys operate as in the calibration routines (A B C D).
1) When the number entry panal appears, the selectors < > will surround the zero < 0 >
numeral which will be flashing. Use “key B” or “key D” to select a numeral. If key B is
pressed, the cursor will jump to the opposite end of the display panel and the selectors
will surround the minus sign. With each press of key B the cursor will backtrack by one
digit toward the original site 0 (zero). When key D is used, the identical process occurs
in reverse.
2) When not at the starting point (“0“or “-“), pressing key B or key D will cause the
cursor to move one digit at a time toward its original site. Example:if the cursor were
flashing at numeral 5, pressing key B once would cause the cursor to move one digit
toward 0(zero).
3) WHEN ENTERING A MINUS SIGN FOR A NEGATIVE VALUE, ALWAYS DO SO
AFTER ALL NUMERALS HAVE BEEN SELECTED.
4) As each digit is selected, press key A to enter it into the system. The
numeral will then appear in the upper right bracket. Continue entering numerals and
decimal point, as appropriate, until the complete number appears in the upper right box.
A total of five digits may be entered in this way.
5) If an error is made when entering a numeral, immediately select the “less than” symbol
(<) and press key A. The number should be removed from the right upper selection
box. Numbers can be removed this way one digit at a time.
6) When all digits look correct, press key C to calibrate the complete number.
