5.0 Keypad Operation
The HI-4460 Graphical Readout is comprised of two basic user areas, the display
and the keypad. The display is a backlit LCD, and the keypad consists of four
sets of keys. For information on navigating the screens, see Screens on page 23.
For additional information, see Menu Tree on page 67.
The HI-4460 uses a rubber keypad with 13 keys. These keys can be divided into
different groups: function keys, the LOG key, screen keys, and specialized keys.
Function Keys
The four function keys are used to select the submenus displayed at the bottom
of each screen. They are also used for setting specific numeric levels. For more
information on setting specific numeric level, see Number Picker on page 22.
Keypad Operation | 19
Archived 4/2/10
LOG Key
Toggles the logging function on and off. The default logging function is single
point logging (logging turns off after one reading is taken). Other logging
functions are explained in Logging on page 39.
Screen Keys
MODE KEYS: UP AND DOWN
The up and down MODE keys perform three functions:
• Toggles between the monitoring screens and logging screens.
• After a menu function key is pressed, the MODE keys are used to
move up and down through selections.
• After a selection has been made using the SELECT key, the MODE
keys are used to scroll through selections when only a fixed number of
selections are available.
For items that require a larger range of values, holding down the up or
down MODE key will advance the number by one until it has been
raised or lowered to ten. It will then continue to increase or decrease
by tens, and then by hundreds.
20 | Keypad Operation
Archived 4/2/10
BACK/ENTER KEY AND SCREEN/SELECT KEY
The BACK/ENTER and SCREEN/SELECT keys perform two functions:
• Scrolls through the monitoring screens and logging screens.
• When at a menu screen, the SCREEN/SELECT key is used to select
an item. The BACK/ENTER key is used to save and exit the menu
screen or item.
To exit an item without saving, use the specialized ESC/CLR key. This
will return to the previous value for only that item. Using the ESC/CLR
key to exit the entire menu screen returns to the previous values for all
items.
Specialized Keys
RANGE
Scrolls through the measurement ranges offered by the probe, based on the
UNITS setting. The RANGE key will scroll through all of the possible manual
ranges and the auto range.
UNITS
Scrolls through the units of measurement offered by the probe, based on the
RANGE setting.

ESC/CLR
• Clears the PEAK and X, Y, and Z data on the screens, as well as the
averaging buffers.
• Backs up one level in the menus without saving changes. On menu
screens, pressing the ESC/CLR key moves back one field.
PWR
Turns the unit on and off. The PWR key is also used to turn the back light off (if
not set to OFF in the CONFIG menu).
• To turn the unit on, quickly press the PWR key.
• To turn the unit off, press and hold the PWR key.
• To turn the backlight off, quickly press the PWR key. Pressing any
other key will turn the backlight on again.
Number Picker
The number picker function is available on some menus. When an item
associated with the number picker is selected, the value is highlighted, and the
bottom bar on the screen displays a row of numbers, 0–9.
1. Press the down MODE key to move the cursor to the bottom of the
screen.
2. Press the middle two function keys to scroll through the numbers.
When the curser is on the desired number, press the ENTER key to
select the number.
3. Continue selecting numbers until the desired value is shown in the
field.
Each menu selection that utilizes the number picker function has a
predetermined number of decimal places. When the number entered reaches this
limit, the curser will move back to the menu item. If the number entered is not
valid, it will be set to a minimum or maximum acceptable number. To move the
cursor back to the menu item before it reaches the limit, press the up MODE key.
When the field contains a decimal point, the place is predetermined and the
number must be entered accordingly.

6.0 Screens
When the HI-4460 Graphical Readout is turned on for the first time, a series of
initial screens display, and then a user screen displays. After the first power on
sequence, the screen that was active when the unit was last turned off will
display.
Following is a description of the monitoring screens and logging screens.
For additional information, see Menu Tree on page 67.
Monitoring Screens
The first screen to display is the monitoring screen.
• Field strength displays at the top
of the screen as a bar graph.
Peak value displays as a thin
vertical line next to the bar graph.
If the bar graph appears blank,
the value is less than the lower
range value. If the bar is
completely filled in, the value is
greater than the upper range
value.
Change to a different range to view the reading. Below the bar graph is a line of
text that shows selected range limits. The lower limit is on the left, the upper
limit is on the right, and the peak value is in the center.
Under the range limits is another line of text that shows the axes that are being
recorded, and the selected range. The axes are on the left side and the
selected range is on the right
An HI-60XX Series Field Probe has only one range. The scale
readings are for the displayed bar graph only. A scheduled log period
will display the word LOG in the center of this line. If the unit is logging
data, the word LOG will flash.
Screens | 23
Archived 4/2/10
At the bottom of most screens is a list of menus that may be selected using the
four Function keys. Alarm messages are also displayed in this area.
The rest of the screen shows the present field reading in large digits, along with
the units of measure currently selected. When there is no probe attached or the
probe is turned off, this area will display NO PROBE.
The following screens replace this large digit reading with information If
auto range is not selected and the reading does not fall within the selected
range, an over or under range condition occurs. When this happens, the area
showing the reading reports an over range or an under range reading. The over
range or under range value is also shown
Press the BACK/ENTER key or SCREEN/SELECT key to scroll through the
monitoring screens, as shown in the following illustrations.
This shows a plot of the composite
reading with the two horizontal bars
representing the upper and lower
limits of the range selected
This shows a bar graph of each of
the axes being monitored as well as
their values. This screen is not
available if axis enable in the
MAIN menu is set to COMP
(composite).
