Scan Time (the time between each channels/unit display in scan mode) Scan Yes or No (whether the unit is to scan automatically or not). Select TD-196 Units (which TD-196 units are allowed to display). Select TD-196 Channels (which TD-196 units channels are allowed to display).
ETTING UNCTIONS SCAN UNITS YES OR NO Sets whether the remote display will scan or not for each TD-196 unit that is connected via the RS485 serial line. NOTE :- If the remote display is set to scan/display a TD-196 unit that is not connected to the serial line, it will time out after approximately 1 minute and not display/scan that unit but will not alter the set point.
This means that if a TD-196 unit is then connected to the serial line the remote display will automatically pick up the information and proceed to display/scan this TD-196 unit channels.
If this is displayed on the 4 digit display, the remote display has lost the serial communications line. The TD-196 thermostats send their data every 30 seconds, so it may take up to 30 seconds for the Remote Display to respond to the TD-196 units after loss of com- munications.
When all LED'S are lit press the "ENT" key to reset the unit for normal running. It may take up to 30 seconds for the Remote display to respond to the TD-196 units data for display.
