Opening on — % Output Increasing

The “Opening” light and relay turn on and the LCD flashes between
“OPn” and the current “% Output”. The time for the device to go from 0%
to 100% is set on the “Motor Speed / Pump Response” dial. During this
time, the 4-20 mA, mixing valve or variable speed pump output should
increase from 0 to 100 %. If the device does not operate or the output
does not increase, check the wiring to the device and the device itself.

Testing the Control Functions

LCD display, indicator lights and Snow/Ice Sensor

When the test button is pressed the red status lights and the LCD segments are turned on
for 7 seconds. The current to the Snow/Ice Sensor's internal heater is then increased and
if the temperature at the centre of the sensor does not rise at least 2

°F within 45 seconds

an error message is given. If the centre of the sensor is hotter than 120

°F or the outdoor

temperature is below -5

°F, the control skips this part of the test. During the 45 seconds,

the control continues with the rest of the test sequence.

Warning on

The Warning relay and light turn on and the LCD shows “W A” to indicate that the external
Warning device is being tested. If the warning device does not activate, the wiring from the
control should be checked and the warning device examined for possible faults. After 10
seconds, the “Warning” light and relay are turned off and the test continues.

Step Seven

Operational test of control functions

Note: The test routine can be halted at this, or any of the following steps, by pushing the Test button once. If this is down, the “Test”

light flashes and the control is held in a pause mode for 5 minutes after which time it automatically exits the test routine. Pushing
the “Test” button during the 5 minute pause allows the control to resume the test routine at the next step.

Melting on

The “Melting” light and relay turn on and the LCD shows “ME” to indicate that the melting
device is being tested. If the device connected to the melt relay does not activate, there
may be a fault with the wiring to the melting device or with the melting device itself - check
both. After 10 seconds, the “Melting” light and relay are turned off and the test continues.

Boiler Pump P2 on

The “Pump P2” light and relay turn on and the LCD shows “P 2” to indicate that Pump P2
is being tested. If the pump does not turn on, the wiring to the pump and the pump itself
should be checked. This pump remains on through the next part of the test sequence.

Boiler Pump P2 on and Boiler on

After Pump P2 has been on for 10 seconds, the “Boiler” light and relay are turned on and
the LCD shows “b” to indicate that the boiler is being tested. If the boiler does not turn on,
check the wiring to the boiler and the boiler itself. After another 10 seconds, both the boiler
and the boiler pump are turned off.

Pump P1 on

The Pump P1 relay and light turn on and the LCD shows “P 1” to indicate that Pump P1
is being tested. If the pump does not turn on, check the wiring to the pump and the pump
itself. After 10 seconds, the “Pump P1” light and relay turn off and the test continues.
