to be easily adjusted.

for the first two (2) minutes of operation. If the system has been
energized for more than two (2) minutes, the 15 amp circuit breaker
must be powered off and back on to gain access to this menu.

and the corresponding configuration value.
Step 4
If necessary, edit the configuration value by pressing and holding the M button while using the up or the
down arrow button to change the value.
Step 5
Once the value is correct, release the buttons and press the up arrow button to go to the next configura-
tion (C001,C002, etc.)
Step 6
Repeat steps 4 through 5 until all configuration settings have been adjusted to the desired values.
