Page 8: Controller Operation
Controller Operation The temperature control unit includes a controller to perform all control functions directly from the front panel. When Control Power is applied, the controller Figure 1 – Standard Controller User Interface initiates a diagnostic test of each indicating light and display segment that temporarily lights them sequentially. - Page 9 Table 1 - Controller Operating Buttons Button Description of Operation Start Pressing the Start button initiates a vent sequence. The vent sequence removes air to prevent improper operation and premature heater failure. When initiated, the vent sequence opens the cooling valve for to allow air to escape, after 30 seconds it runs the pump for 30 seconds while the cooling valve is open to remove any remaining air from the system.
- Page 10 Table 2 - Temperature Displays Display Description of Operation Set Point The Set Point display normally shows the set point temperature. A decimal point in the lower right corner of this display indicates the temperature unit of measure is set to °F, no decimal point indicates the temperature unit of measure is set to °C. See the Menu Program section to change the temperature scale units of measure.
