Pressing a key in graphics or overview mode takes you directly to the main menu. The following menu items are then avail- able for selection there: Current temperature values with 1.
Measurement values 1. - Measurement values The menu “1. Measurement values” serves to display the currently measured temperatures. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit measurements ”. Selecting “Details” leads to a brief help text explaining the measurement values. Selecting “Overview” or “esc” exits the Info mode. If “Error” appears on the display instead of the measurement value, then there may be a defective or incorrect temperature sensor. If the cables are too long or the sensors are not placed optimally, the result may be small deviations in the measurement values.
Statistics 2. - Statistics The menu “2. Statistics” is used for function control and long-term monitoring of the system. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit statistics”. For analysis of the system data it is essential for the time to be set accurately on the controller.
