Technician settings (Cont’) P02 - Lower limit temperature for heating Press the [SELECT] and [+] buttons simultaneously. “P02” and the low limit temperature will appear on display. When the temperature on the temperature sensor drops below the low temperature limit, the heating system will stop. Use the [+] and [-] buttons to adjust the temperature set point. Range: -40…+23°F / -40…-5°C Default: -40°F / -40°C Press the [SELECT] and [+] buttons simultaneously again.
Technician settings (Cont’) P04 - Manual mode ON time Press the [SELECT] and [+] buttons simultaneously. “P04”, “On” and the time “Manual ON” mode time period will appear on display. The hours will blink. The delay time parameter defines a time frame in which the heater remains ON after receiving an “Manual ON” command. Use the [+] and [-] buttons to adjust the hours of the working time. Range: 00...99 hours Default: 03 hours Manual ON (minutes) Press the [SELECT] and [+] buttons simultaneously again.
Technician settings (Cont’) P07 – Not in use Press the [SELECT] and [+] buttons simultaneously. “P07” will appear on display. Proceed to P08. P08 – MODBUS MAC Address (for MDB models only) Press the [SELECT] and [+] buttons simultaneously. “P08” and the MODBUS MAC Address will appear on display. Use the [+] and [-] buttons to set the MAC Address of the unit. Setting the MAC address for the unit will make it available through the home automation system. Range: 0 – 60.
Technician settings (Cont’) P09 - Test conditions mode / Technician commissioning mode Turn ON test conditions to check the functionality of the system regardless of temperature sensors parameters (i.e. during the summer).
