This is the delay time setting for the low alarm. A difference
between the high alarm and low alarm delay that should be noted
at this point is that when you select a value for the high alarm
delay and then turn power off, that value will appear again when
power is turned on again. The low alarm delay however will always
be 20 minutes when power is turned on. The reason for this, if the
delay is set for too short of a time and the compressor goes off, it
will be approximately 10 minutes before the compressor turns back
on. This is due to an internal time delay within the compressor.
The user can change this 20 minutes to a value desired, but when
power is turned off and on again, it will reset to 20 minutes again.
Use the up or down arrow keys to select your time value and press
ENTER.
The displays will change to the following:
This is the value for the alarm band, the amount of temperature
deviation allowed before either the high or low delay timers are
started. Use the up or down arrow keys to select your value and
then press ENTER and the displays will return to their normal
operation.
