3.3 THE PRIMARY MENU
The primary menu is the default menu. When in
another menu level and there is no activity for 5
minutes the temperature controller will default
back to the primary menu. The Primary menu
allows the operator access to the following
temperature controller parameters:
Code
Meaning
tout
Outlet water temperature.
pct
Firing rate percentage.
Setp Desired set-point temperature.
Auto
Automatic controlling mode ON or
OFF.
3.3.1 OUTLET TEMPERATURE (tout)
Outlet temperature is the actual outlet water
temperature of the unit. To access outlet
temperature press the MENU button until (tout)
is displayed in the lower LED. The variables
under this feature may not be manually
changed. Fig. 3.3 below shows an outlet
temperature of 120º F

3.3.2 FIRING RATE PERCENTAGE (Pct)
Percentage of firing rate is a number, in percent,
that is directly related to the input BTU’s of the
unit. For instance a 50% firing rate equals
approximately 1,000,000 BTU gas input while a
75 % firing rate equals approximately 1,500,000
BTU gas input and so on.
CAUTION:
Do not leave the unit unattended while in
the manual mode of operation.
WARNING:
WHEN SWITCHING FROM AUTO TO
MANUAL MODE, THE UNIT WILL
CONTINUE TO OPERATE AT THE SAME
FIRING RATE PERCENTAGE AS WHEN
THE UNIT WAS IN AUTO MODE.
To access the firing rate percentage, press the
MENU button while in the primary menu until
(Pct) is displayed in the lower LED. While in
manual mode, (see section 3.3.4); use the
or
arrow key to increase or decrease the
percentage of firing rate. Press the ENTER
button to accept the desired change. Figure 3.4
shows the temperature controller displaying a
100% firing rate.

3.3.3 SETPOINT (Setp)
Setpoint is the desired outlet water temperature
that is to be maintained by the unit when in
automatic mode. Fig 3.5 shows the controller
with a setpoint of 120º F.
To access the unit’s setpoint press the MENU
button until (Setp) is displayed in the lower LED.
To increase or decrease the unit’s setpoint press
the
or
arrow keys. Press the ENTER button
to accept the change.

3.3.4 AUTOMATIC / MANUAL (Auto)
When set to automatic mode the controller is
receiving and processing inputs from
temperature sensor(s) located externally or on
the unit. The controller uses these inputs to
automatically decrease or increase the firing rate
to match the load.
