PRODUCT INFORMATION
Product Overview
The General Electric IC660HHM501 is a GE Hand Held Monitor belonging to the Genius I/O series. The device connects directly to the Genius bus to monitor input and output data across connected devices. It displays diagnostics, bus scan time, global data addresses, and CPU memory data. Operators use it for hardware configuration, fault clearing, bus selection, and I/O forcing.
The monitor features a liquid crystal display with four lines of sixteen characters each. Users interact through a twenty-key sealed membrane keypad including function keys and decimal keys. An integrated keyswitch restricts access to protected maintenance and configuration functions. Power comes from an external alternating-current supply or a battery pack providing six hours of operation.
