TERM DEFINITION
Automatic Charge Control Method of heat storage regulation where a sensor monitors outdoor temperature to
automatically regulate the brick core charge level.
Brick Core Charge Level The amount of heat that is stored in the heater's brick core.
Charge Period Off-peak time in which the heater is allowed to store heat in its brick core.
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 heater is not allowed to store heat in its brick core.
Data The specific information for heater operation which is set and stored in a location on the
heater's microprocessor. This data is accessed through the control panel. Displayed as
a "d" on the control panel when in the edit mode.
Edit Mode Process of changing or viewing the data in a microprocessor location. This is accom-
plished with the use of the M (mode) button, the
ñ (up arrow) button
, and the ò
(down arrow) button.
Location (Function) Where the specific operating information (data) of the heater is stored. These locations
are part of the heater's microprocessor and are accessed through the control panel.
Displayed as an "L" on the control panel when in the edit mode.
Manual Charge Control Method of brick core charge regulation where the owner must periodically adjust the
brick core temperature during the heating season in accordance with outdoor tempera-
ture.
Microprocessor Device on the circuit board of the heater which stores and processes the data informa-
tion and controls the operation of the heater.
Off-peak Those times during the day or night when the power company may charge a lower rate
for electricity and allows uncontrolled usage. (Heater is allowed to charge or store heat
in its brick core during this time.)
On-peak Those times during the day or night when the power company may charge a higher rate
for electricity or controls the usage to certain appliances. (Heater is not allowed to
charge or store heat in its brick core during this time.)
Outdoor Sensor Device that senses outdoor air temperatures and communicates this information to the
heater for automatic brick core charge regulation.
Room Temperature Set Point The targeted room temperature at which the heater is to maintain. If the room
(Room Setting) thermostat senses a temperature below this point, the heater's damper will open and
allow heat to flow from the brick core.
Storage Level Set Point The targeted amount of heat that is to be stored in the brick core of the heater. If the
(Storage Setting) brick core temperature is below this set point, the heating elements will come on
(only if off-peak) and add heat to the brick core.
