5.2 Operating modes
The program controller MB1 operates in 3 modes:
Idle Mode
The controller is not functional, i.e., there is no heating. The fan turns
at 50% rate.
Manual Mode
(Fixed value operation)
(HAND)
The controller operates as a fixed-point control, i.e., a temperature
set-point can be defined, which is then maintained (chap. 8).
Program Mode (AUTO)
An entered temperature program is run (chap. 9).
The program controller MB1 allows programming temperature cycles.
The controller offers 25 program memory positions with 100 program sections each. The total number of
program sections of all programs is limited to 500.
Programming can be done directly through the keypad of the controller or graphically through the soft-
ware APT-COM™ 3 DataControlSystem (option, chap. 11.1) specially developed by BINDER.
