IMPORTANT
CONFIGURATION MENU
The Steffes Comfort Plus heating system has a Configuration Menu, which
allows the system to be customized to the power company and consumer’s
needs. This menu can be accessed on start-up and allows configuration
settings to be easily adjusted.
To access the Configuration Menu:
Step 1 Energize the system. Access to the Configuration Menu is allowed
for the first two (2) minutes of operation. If the system has been
energized for more than two (2) minutes, the 15 amp circuit breaker must be powered off and back on to
gain access to this menu.
Step 2 Press and release the M button until faceplate displays “CONF”.
Step 3 Press the up arrow once and the faceplate will display “C000”. The faceplate will flash between “C000”
and the corresponding configuration value.
Step 4 If necessary, edit the configuration value by pressing and holding the M button while using the up or the
down arrow button to change the value.
Step 5 Once the value is correct, release the buttons and press the up arrow button to go to the next configura-
tion (C001,C002, etc.).
Step 6 Repeat steps 4 through 5 until all configuration settings have been adjusted to the desired values.
Step 7 Once configured, use the down arrow to leave the Configuration Menu.
In most applications only a few, if any, configuration changes will be necessary. Determine which method of
peak control is being utilized and configure as follows:
C000 Off-Peak Method of Charge Control - Sets the method of brick core charging to be used during off-
peak (charge) periods.
C001 Start Brick Core Charge Set Point - If utilizing automatic charge control as set in C000, this value
indicates the outdoor temperature at which the system starts charging.
C002 Full Brick Core Charge Set Point - If utilizing automatic charge control as set in C000, this value
indicates the outdoor temperature at which the system targets a full core charge.
C003 Power Line Carrier (PLC) Channel Selection – This value must match the channel selected at the
Steffes PLC transmitting device. A value of zero indicates PLC communication is disabled.
C004 Optional Controls Configuration - Tells the heater what controls are being used.
C005 Control Switch Configuration - If utilizing power line carrier control, the Steffes Time Clock Module, or
line voltage peak control this value MUST be zero.
