Delay at Start-up They allow delaying the start up of the installation when it receives electricity. This parameter prevents continuous stoppages and start-ups of the installation in exceptional situations, for example, after a power cut, in test periods or during the commissioning of the installation. This is established in minutes.

The Set point energy saving parameter defines what the set point will be when this mode is active and the Energy saving duration parameter defines the duration of this mode in hours. It never activates if it is configured at 0. This mode may optionally be activated and deactivated whenever you want using the external button connected to one of the digital inputs, and to do so the corresponding input should be configured as "Remote energy saving”.

This function allows transferring the programmed parameters of a device to others, using the AKO-14923 programming key. This will save a lot of time when configuring similar devices. The AKO-14923 key does not require an external power supply, and is powered by the device itself. 9.4.1 Transfer parameters from the device to the key Disconnect the unit power supply.
The unit has a port for RS485 date connection (MODBUS), which can be managed using a PC. Up to 127 units can be connected to a PC with AKONet (AKO-5010), or to the AKO-5011 web server. Each of these units should have a different MODBUS address, that is defined using the Communication address of the q menu.
