Operation
Operation of Sun‟s Hand Held Programmer requires a Cable Adapter for the Embedded Amplifier to be configured.
To operate the Sun Programmer, plug the 9 pin connector of the Cable Adapter into the Programmer. Connect the other end of the
Cable Adapter to the Embedded Amplifier. Press the yellow power button on the HHP to turn it on. The Programmer can be connected
or disconnected while power is supplied to the embedded amplifier. The embedded amplifier must be powered on to make changes to
its configuration. When the Programmer powers up it will display a title message.
All functions of the Programmer are controlled with the following buttons: Power, Lock, Unlock, Adjust Up, and Adjust Down. The
specific functions of the buttons are as follows:
Power (Yellow l|O)
The power button is used to turn the Programmer on and off. Briefly pressing the button when off will turn the unit on.
Pressing and holding the button when power is on will turn the Programmer off.
Lock (Red Padlock)
Locks the current parameter setting. When locked, Adjust Up and Adjust Down control movement through the parameter list.
Unlock (Green Open Padlock)
Unlocks the current parameter setting. When unlocked, Adjust Up and Adjust Down change the current parameter value.
Adjust Up (Blue with White Up Arrow)
Adjust Up will move up through a parameter list if the control is locked. If the control is unlocked, Adjust Up will increase the
value of the current parameter.
Adjust Down (Blue with White Down Arrow)
Adjust Down will move down through a parameter list if the control is locked. If the control is unlocked, Adjust Down will
decrease the value of the current parameter.
HHP Settings
The display contrast can be adjusted in a similar fashion to Amplifier parameters. The display contrast is factory set for optimum
performance at room temperature. Operation at an unusually high or low temperature may require contrast adjustment.
To enter the HHP setup area, press the lock button four times without pressing other keys. The display will return to the title message
which was shown when power was first supplied. The Up and Down arrow buttons can now be used to view and change the following
Programmer setting:
CONTRAST
The display contrast can be adjusted to any value from 1 to 63 with 1 being lightest and 63 being darkest. The default value is 22.
CAUTION! –Setting the Contrast too high or too low can make the display unreadable.
BACK LIGHT (Version 2.0 and newer)
The display can be adjusted to any value from 1 to 63 with 1 being the lowest setting and 63 being the brightest. The default setting is
20. Adjusting brightness may prove useful in low lighting conditions.
ON BOARD MEMORY (Version 2.0 and newer)
At the read or write prompt, press the green Unlock key to change the parameter setting. Use either the Adjust Up or Down keys to
select read or write. Read copies the amplifier settings onto the Hand Held Programmer’s on board memory. Write transfers a copy of
the parameters stored in the on board memory to the amplifier. Pressing the red Lock button completes the read or write operation. It is
not possible to view the parameters stored in the on board memory without transferring them to an amplifier. It is only possible to store
the parameters for one setup.
Low battery warning value is 6.5 V. This is not adjustable.
To exit the HHP settings area and return to the Amplifier parameters, toggle through to the parameter that reads “EXIT HHP SETUP?”.
Press the Unlock key and then the Up or Down button to change to „Yes‟. When the Lock button is pressed, the HHP will return to the
Amplifier settings.
