Factory Presets  

Before the DigitalDoc5 leaves the factory the values are set to the 
following:  

• 

All Temperature Set-Points are set to 50° C.  

• 

Only Fan number 1 has been "turned on" and its' RPM monitoring 
enabled. We will set all the other fans during this set up 
procedure.  

• 

The power tolerance warning range is set at +5% (or +0.25 V) for 
+5 VDC, and for +12 VDC, the range is +0.6 V.  

If you make a mistake when setting the system values, you can change 
all the values back to those of the factory settings. This is accomplished 
by pressing the SET button before the power is turned on. After this, turn 
the power on again and wait until you hear the sound of two beeps, which 
shows that the resetting in complete. Or when the power is on, press the 
RESET button, then press the SET button; afterwards press the RESET 
button again, and the two beeps indicate that the resetting is complete.  

Getting Started  

To begin the set up procedure you need to press the 

Set Button 

on your 

DigitalDoc5. This will bring you into Set-Up mode and will allow you to 
change all the settings according to your setup. At any time, if you do not 
press a button within 5 seconds, the DigitalDoc5 will return to Normal 
Operating Mode and you will have to restart the set up procedure by 
pressing the 

Set Button 

again.  

Here is a basic flow chart outlining the steps involved in setting up your 
DigitalDoc5. Later in this chapter we will go through these Step-By-Step. 
Each time you press the 

Set Button 

you will continue on to the next 

setting. You will use the 

Up 

and 

Down Buttons 

to change the settings 

such as Fan On-Off, RPM Sensing Enabled or Disabled, Temperature 
Levels and Power Tolerance Levels. 

A) 

Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit (F) temperature unit selection.  

B) 

Individual channel set-point selection, starting with the 
temperature setting for channel 1 (CH1) and proceeding through 
the set-points of all channels.  

C) 

Fan rotation monitoring and rotation control setting, starting from 
fan 1 (FAN1). When initially setting the fan rotation control 
function, the screen will display either [En] or [Dis]. 

 

Note:

 [En] indicates that the fan speed monitoring function is on, 

i.e. 

enabled

; [Dis] indicates that it is off for this fan, i.e. 

disabled

.  

Next is the override fan control, with the display showing either 
[On] or [Off]. [On] indicates that the override function is on (i. e., 
the fan is turned on whenever the power is turned on to the unit). 

 

Tip

 

You can leave Set-

Up Mode at any time by 
not pressing any button 
for 5 seconds. All values 
will automatically be  
saved.  

 

Note

 

Have your 

Printable Worksheet in 
front of you when you go 
through the set up 
procedure. It will help you 
throughout the set up 
procedure by showing you 
which fans are RPM 
Sensing or not.
