GETTING FAMILIAR WITH THE APRILAIRE THERMOSTAT

(

refer to Figure 1)

MESSAGE DISPLAY – Two types of messages are displayed; permanent and temporary.
Permanent messages scroll continually. This includes the three default status messages
(i.e., mode status, fan status, equipment status) and optional four personal messages
that can be added through the home automation programming or HyperTerminal session.
Temporary (flashing) messages are programmed the same as personal messages but are
designed to be quick messages that get reset shortly after they are displayed.
