System Setup

  

The PB-1525 is intended to be set up in the field by a Pellergy Factory 

Trained Certified Installer.  There are no parameters that can be set up by 

the homeowner or system operator.  In order to set the system 

parameters, the Certified Installer must place the controller in “Technician 
Mode” to make adjustments.  These adjustments control various 

operational aspects of the system and ensure both reliable and safe 
system operation. 
 

WARNING! 

System operational parameters are to be set by the Pellergy 
trained Certified Installer only.  “Technician Mode” on the 

controller is intended for the exclusive use of Pellergy trained 
Certified Installers.  Modification of the system settings by 
anyone other than a Pellergy trained Certified Installer may 
cause an unsafe operational conditions that can result in injury, 
bodily harm, equipment damage and even death. 

 

Certified Installer Settings 

 
There are two menu headings available on the display within Technician 
Mode that allows the Certified Installer to adjust for proper firing of the PB-
1525 system and test certain operational settings on the unit.  These are
