Viewing and Changing Values in the Advanced 
Menu

To access the Advanced menu and view and change 
the parameter values, follow these steps:  

Restricting User Adjustment

You can restrict user adjustment of the A421 control to 
either just OFF value (control band) only and limit the 
range of this value (Figure 9).

You set the A421 control into the restricted adjustment 
mode by positioning the jumper located on the circuit 
board next to the TB3 terminal block. See 

Setting the 

Control to Restricted Adjustment Mode

.   

Note:

Setting the A421 control up in the Restricted 

Mode prevents casual users from over-adjusting the 
control in your application, or from inadvertently 
changing the mode of operation from cooling to heating 
or heating to cooling (by over-adjusting the 

On

 value or 

OFF

 value).

When the A421 control is set up in the restricted 
adjustment mode, the following behavior is enforced: 

The restricted temperature adjustment range is 
defined by the selected High Temperature Stop 
(

HtS

) and Low Temperature Stop (

LtS

) values. 

The control band (differential) is defined by the 

On

 

and 

OFF

 values, and the control band between On 

and OFF remains fixed (not adjustable).

Only the 

OFF

 value can be adjusted, the control 

band remains fixed, and the On value 
automatically shifts equal to the OFF value 
adjustment. 

The 

OFF 

value can only be adjusted to values that 

maintain the entire control band within the 
restricted temperature adjustment range defined 
by HtS and LtS. See Figure 9.

The basic and advanced menus are not available. 
Only the restricted adjustment mode menu is 
available and only the 

OFF

 value can be adjusted. 

See Figure 11.    

Setting the Control to Restricted Adjustment Mode

To set up the restricted adjustment feature:

1.

Ensure that the A421 is not in the restricted mode 
(the jumper is positioned on both pins). See 
Figure 10.

2.

Select the 

OFF

 and 

On

 values that define the 

application’s required control band (Figure 9).

3.

Change the 

HtS

 and 

LtS 

temperature

 

values to 

define the restricted adjustment range (Figure 9). 

1.

With the Main screen displayed, 
press and hold  

 and 

 

simultaneously for 5 seconds. The 
LCD displays 

Un

, which is the first 

parameter code screen displayed in 
the Advanced menu.

2.

Press 

 or 

 to scroll through all of 

the Advanced parameter codes and 
display the preferred code.

3.

With the preferred parameter code 
displayed, press 

MENU

 to display the 

current parameter value for the code.

4.

With the current parameter value 
displayed, press 

 or 

 to scroll 

through all of the parameter code’s 
usable values and display the 
preferred value.

5.

With the preferred parameter value 
displayed, press 

MENU

 to save the 

displayed value and go to the next 
parameter code.
