OVERRIDES

DIF allows you to create alternate temperature setpoints during a 24 hour period. DIF technique 
typically drops the temperature in the morning hours. A second DIF period can be used to amass 
solar energy before sunset.
The control status is displayed as either Primary, DIF or LiDep. Touch the clock to change the DIF/
LiDep or clock settings.
