3.0 Programming menu (Thermal Energy Controller)
There are a number of settings that may need to be changed from
time to time, such as the price of your auxiliary heating fuel or the type of
units that are displayed on screen. These settings can be changed by
using the programming menu on the Thermal Energy Controller.
To get to the programming menu, press the menu button from any
display on the outputs menu. The
icon will light up to indicate that
you are in the programming mode. Pressing the menu button again from
any display will return to the outputs menu and will not save the changes
for the current item. Use the up and down buttons to toggle values, and
press the enter button to accept the value for the current item and move
to the next item.
Note that the status of the system will not be displayed while in
programming mode.
3.1 Pump control
The default mode for the pump is
to run automatically based on
temperature readings. If there is a
temperature difference of 18 °F (10 °C)
between the collector and the storage
tank, and none of the temperatures are
out of operating range, then the pump
will run.
A pump set to run manually will
run for fifteen minutes before reverting
back to automatic mode. A pump
turned off manually will not turn back on unless the setting is returned to
automatic or it is manually turned on.
Pressing the up or down button will cycle between automatic (
) and
manual (
). If automatic is selected, the menu moves on to the next item.
If manual is selected, pressing the up or down button will toggle between the
and the
symbols, representing “on” and “off” respectively. The
diagram in figure 3.1 shows all of the segments that are visible for pump
control.
