4.2 Controller interface

The control interface is provided through a 2¼ x 4 inch, color touchscreen display. The touchscreen
responds to a light finger touch on the screen. You can also use a stylus, pencil, or similar device to
operate the touch controls. Do not use a sharp or metallic object such as a screw driver to operate
the control as it could damage the touchscreen.
The controller display is divided into two areas, the screen active area and the boiler status bar. All
screens have an active area consisting of the screen title bar at the top and a border surrounding the
active area. At the bottom of the display there is space reserved for the boiler status bar.
Prior to any interaction with the touchscreen, the display shows the Home screen details of the
current boiler status. If the controller has been left on the Home screen long enough (user
adjustable, 10 minutes by default) the display will be dimmed to save power.
The control will automatically return to the home screen if left unattended. The screens will step
back one screen at a time in 10 minute increments if the touchscreen has not been touched. The
pop-up windows will also step back automatically in 2 minute intervals.
