This Operating Guide
This Operating Guide tells you how to use an ST70 instrument, and
describes how to switch on the instrument, set it up and display the data you want, to best suit
your style of operation.
This guide assumes that the instrument has been prepared for use in accordance with the

Note: ST70 products include instruments and pilot controllers. This guide gives user instructions for the instrument only.
Information on using the ST70 Pilot Controller is given in separate documentation accompanying the controller.

ST70 instrument - getting started
Switch on/off & introduction
Switching on your ST70 Instrument
To switch on your ST70 instrument, hold down for 1 second.
The instrument powers up and shows the page that was displayed
when the power was last switched off.
Note: If power to a system to which ST70 instruments is connected is switched centrally
(e.g.from a central circuit breaker), the on/off condition of each individual instrument when
system power is applied reverts to what it was when the system power was last switched off.
See the ST70 User Reference Manual for system power protocol.
Important
Do not use the instrument until it has been commissioned as
described in the ST70 User Reference Manual.
If you power up and a
CHOOSE LANGUAGE page is displayed, the
instrument has not been commissioned since it was installed, so you
need to carry out the commissioning procedure before using the
instrument.
Operational pages
Data is displayed on operational pages, one page at a time.
Eight operational pages are available, and each page can be divided into up to six separate
data areas or ‘frames’.
You can move from page to page either manually using or , or by means of an automatic
rollover feature.
Refer to Card 6 if you want to
• Set a rollover period and activate the automatic rollover.
• Switch off the rollover to return to manual page selection.
You can switch OFF individual operational pages. Refer to Card 5 for details
Customizing the operational pages
You can change any operational page, to show only the information you want. You can:
• Change the information in any frame of any page. Refer to Card 7 for details.
• Rebuild any page, so it has a different frame layout with different data. Refer to Card 8 for
details.
