Module Configuration
Overview
This chapter describes the configuration and use of the MKE-3901, MKA-3901, and
MGI-3903 modules in the IconMaster system.
The following topics are covered:
Operator, All, and Setup Parameter Lists
on page 54
LEDs and Module Indicators
on page 57
This chapter presupposes that you have a working knowledge of NEO card-edge configuration and have used it with other NEO modules. If not, please refer to the NEO
FR-3901, FR-3903, and FR-3923 Mounting Frames Installation and Operation Manual and familiarize yourself with card-edge operation before you continue the configuration process.
Navigating the MKE-3901 Operator and All Lists
To navigate, and then view or change a parameter from the Operator and All Lists, follow these steps:
1
Open the front panel of the NEO frame.
2
Press any card-edge control to turn on the VFD screen.
The message MKE3901 appears. If a previous user has left the display at a different parameter name, repeatedly press the Escape button until the message MKE3901 appears.
After several seconds of inactivity, a scrolling message will appear, describing the purpose of the currently selected parameter.
3
Push the Enter button.
The name of the first parameter option in the list appears.
4
Push the Enter button again to access the options for the parameter displayed on the VFD screen.
OR
Press the Nav+/Nav- switch down repeatedly to view other parameters, and then press
Enter to access an item’s parameter options.
5
Press the Nav+/Nav- switch up or down to scroll through the different selectable parameter options, and then press Enter to select the value you want.

OR
Press the Nav+/Nav- switch up or down to adjust the numeric parameter value, and then press Enter.
6
Close the front panel of the frame to ensure the cooling system continues to operate properly.
Operator, All, and Setup Parameter Lists
The MKE-3901 displays its parameters in an Operator List, All List, and Tree View. These parameters are visible at the card-edge of the module and in CCS software.
These lists include the following parameters:

MGI-3903 LEDs and Module Indicators
The IconMaster logo inserter has 2 card-edge LEDs and 4 standard module indicators.
CAUTION
Never remove the compact flash card when the Compact Flash Card
Active LED is on or flashing. Doing so may corrupt the files on the card.
The module generates visible alarm signals to alert users of failures or impending failures.
These alarm signals can be found in the following locations:
As red or yellow LEDs on the front module card-edge
As red or yellow LEDs on the 3901AIC Alarm Interconnect Module or the 3901RES-E
Resource Module (visible via light pipes through the NEO frame’s front panel)
As part of a list of activated alarms found in the MGI-3903 Setup menu
