    If a function is not used, e.g. Extra sensor, it is not shown on the controller's user menus. The manual can therefore contain sections that are not relevant to the specific set-up of your controller. See also Technical Manual or, if necessary, contact SKOV A/S service or your dealer. This manual's User Guide consists of a general introduction, which describes briefly how to operate the house controller.
