 1 About this manual
1.1 Target readers

This user guide is intended for those responsible for the

HVAC plant in a building and for other qualified staff
including commissioning and service engineers. It is
assumed that the users of this manual already have the level
of knowledge required before carrying out the tasks
described.

1.2 Contents

The manual starts with a description of the display and

control panel of the PXM20 operator unit and introduces the
generally applicable procedures for navigation and for editing
values. The second part of the manual leads you step by
step through the various activities involved in commissioning
and maintaining the plant.
As there may be significant differences between one plant
and another, and between the read and write access of one
user and another, it follows that it is not possible to provide a
description which is generally valid for every individual case.
"Favorite" objects, for example, are special objects
containing important values, which can be accessed with a
short-cut operation. The question of exactly which objects
and which values these are, is determined in the engineering
phase according to the individual needs of the plant operator.
Important For this reason, the steps described in this manual are
intended as examples, designed to clarify the basic
operating principles of the PXM20 operator unit.

 1.3 Printing conventions

Text Bold text is used for text exactly as it appears in the display,
e.g. START, ACKNOWLEDGE, Settings etc.

Keys Key names are indicated as follows:

• Brackets < > indicate that the description appears on the
key itself. This convention is used for the <?> key (Info),
the <–> key and the <+> key.
Example: Press the <?> key.
• The OK key and ESC key are referred to without brackets;
their name is marked on the unit housing.
Example: Press the ESC key or: Acknowledge with OK.
• The "direct access" keys are referred to as such. These
keys have no names, either on the keys themselves, nor
on the housing. Example: Use the direct access key to go
to the next value.
• The same applies to the Page Up and Page Down keys.
Example: Go to the next dialog box using the Page Up
key.

 10 Trend function and
trend settings
The PXM20 operator unit provides the user with five
channels for trend logging, enabling 5 data points to be
logged.
The same dialog is used for basic trend settings in all types
of trend view (refer to Section 10.3). This dialog box is
invoked when you set up a new data point (see Section
10.1). For channels which have already been set up, it can
also be invoked by selecting Alarming & functions / Online
Trend (see Section 10.1).
There are three separate ways of viewing the trend data:
6 Graphical view (Section 10.3.2)
7 Online graphical view (Section 10.3.3)
8 List (Section 10.3.4)
