anual Override Switch

An override switch is mounted on the side for testing and special 

operational requirements. Placing the switch in the "Automatic" 

position will allow the sensor to operate normally. "Manual On" will 

activate the control and will stay activated for a maximum of 40 

hours before returning to "Automatic" mode. The "Stand-by/Reset" 

position will clear any current snow melt call or delay activity.
If the Manual Override Switch is moved to Manual On for less than 

2 seconds and then back to Automatic the sensor will execute one 

delay off cycle. This can be used to clear frost, hail, drifting snow, or 

other conditions. Stand-by/Reset will clear this setting.
