Anticipated Peak ~ Used only by certain power
companies as an alternative method of storing heat
in the brick core. Indicated by an "A" on the system
display. Also referred to as "Pre-Peak".
Automatic Charge Control ~ Method of brick
core charge regulation where a sensor monitors
outdoor temperature to automatically adjust the
brick core temperature.
Brick Core Charge level ~ The amount of heat
currently stored in the brick core of the heater.
Charge Period ~ Off-peak time in which the system
is allowed to store heat in its brick core. Indicated by a
"C" on the system display.
Control Panel ~ Contains the buttons to adjust and
the display to indicate heater functions. Located on
the front of the heater in the upper right corner.
Control Period ~ On-peak time in which the system
is not allowed to store heat in its brick core. Indicated
by a "P" on the system display.
Edit Mode ~ Process of changing or viewing
the values in a microprocessor location. This
is accomplished with the use of the M (mode)
button, the  (up arrow) button, and the  (down
arrow) button.
location (Function) ~ Where the specific
operating information of the heater is stored. These
locations are part of the heater's microprocessor
and are accessed through the heater's control panel.
Displayed as an "L" on the faceplate when in the
edit mode.
location Value ~ The specific information set and
stored in a location on the heater's microprocessor
which defines heater operation. A value for a
specific location is accessed through the heater's
control panel.
Manual Charge Control ~ Method of brick
core charge regulation where the owner must
periodically adjust the brick core temperature
setting in relation to the outdoor temperature.

Microprocessor ~ Device on the circuit board of the
heater which stores and processes the information
for controlling the operation of the heater.
Off-peak ~ The time during the day or night when
the power company can supply electricity more
economically and may offer a special incentive such
as a reduced electric rate or billing credits for the
electricity consumed during this time. Typically,
electrical usage is not controlled during an off-
peak time. (The heater will provide heat to satisfy
comfort requirements during this time as well as
charge or store heat in its brick core.)
On-peak ~ The time during the day or night when
the power company experiences a high demand for
electricity. To limit demand, certain appliances are
controlled to avoid usage by them and/or a premium
for the electricity consumed during this time may be
charged to discourage electrical usage. (The heater
is not allowed to charge or store heat in its brick
core during peak periods. Heating requirements are
satisfied by the heat stored in its brick core during
the previous off-peak period.)
Outdoor Sensor ~ Device that senses outdoor air
temperature and communicates this information to
the heater.
Pre-Peak ~ Used only by certain power companies
as an alternative method of storing heat in heater's
brick core. Also referred to as "Anticipated Peak".
room Temperature Set Point ~ The desired room
temperature the heater is to maintain as set by the
owner. If the room thermostat senses a temperature
below this point, the heater's blower will come on
and extract heat from the brick core.
