Commissioning 1. Language: Î Adjust the desired menu language. When the hydraulic system is filled and ready for operation, connect the controller to the mains. The controller runs an initialisation phase in which the directional pad glows red. When the controller is commissioned or when it is reset, it will run a commis- sioning menu after the initialisation phase.
