6.6.2 Remote Boost Display
When a Boost command is received from an external source, the Mode
window shows
M/C BOOST
as black letters on a white background.
The length of time that the message displays for is dependent on the external
signal.
If
set
Boost time > signal length
, then the message [
M/C BOOST]
will
display for the entire Boost period.
If
set Boost time < signal length,
then the message [
M/C BOOST]
will
display for the entire time that the signal is present, although the Boost
current will only be applied for the set Boost time.
6.7 More About Zone Slaving
There are several points to remember when using zone slaving:
1. You can only slave like zones for like zones.
• You cannot slave a probe zone to a manifold zone.
2. You cannot choose a zone that is already slaved to another zone.
• For example: if zone 2 is currently slaved to zone 3, you cannot slave
zone 1 to zone 2. The leading zone must already be a healthy zone.
3. You cannot choose a zone that creates a loop.
• For example: if zone 2 is slaved to zone 3, then you cannot slave zone
3 back to zone 2.
4.
When selecting a lead zone to slave to you should find a similar zone
type that is currently operating at the same temperature and at the same
power level.
If you choose a lead zone that is working at the same temperature but
outputting a noticeably different power level, then the slaved zone may not
regulate efficiently.
