Switching on

What the panel does after power-on, which state it starts in, and what to wait for before switching off.

When the panel gets power, a start screen with the logo appears. The start screen stays until every device connected to the panel has answered — usually a few seconds, at most about fifteen — and then the home screen opens.

What state the panel starts in

• Access level: Operator. The panel starts at the Operator level after every power-on, whatever level was set before. Switching off and on is therefore also the quickest way back to Operator — the only level at which alarm windows are shown. See Access levels.
• The ordinary home screen. The second home screen is never opened by itself; you open it by hand.
• Application locked, if the speed is imitated. If speed imitation is switched on in the speed sensor and the machine has dispenser electric motors or a liquid fertilizer pump, the panel starts with product application locked by hand. Unlock it when you are ready: Lock product application by hand.

The firmware version and the serial number can be read at any time: two-finger tap on the home screen, then “About” in the main menu. The window closes with “Close”.

Before switching off

• Settings are stored by themselves a few seconds after your last change. Wait a few seconds after changing a setting before you switch the panel off.
• The statistics are written every five minutes and when the machine stops. Switch the panel off only after you have stopped moving — otherwise the last stretch of work is lost from the statistics.
