EEPROM Update in Control Memory

EEPROM is permanent programmable memory of the
control panel.
• Entry tone, door audio alarm and status are stored in
EEPROM after control panel is deactivated.
• Clean coil status is stored in EEPROM after every
defrost cycle as time until clean coil alarm is activated.
• Information stored in EEPROM memory is not
affected by power loss.

Program Mode A Functions

Reading Temperature Display
Temperature display will show thermistor temperature in
binary coded decimal format. Indicator lights 1 through 4
represent the "tens" digit with 1 being the most
significant bit. Indicator lights 5 through 8 represent the
"ones" digit with 5 being the most significant bit. Positive
and negative are shown by indicator light 9, which glows
to show negative value.

pad.
Add assigned values of lit
indicators 1-4 to obtain tens-
column digit. Example: If 3
and 4 are lit, tens-column
total is 3 (2 + 1 = 3)
Add assigned values of
lit indicators 5-8 to get
ones-column digit.
Example: If 6 and 7 are
lit, ones-column total is
6 (4+2 = 6).
