MENU: Program >Edit 

 

To start a program from scratch, select the “clear” option in the Program Menu before 
selecting “Edit”.   
 
The Program >Edit sub-menu selection enables the user to specify the values for the 
Set Point and time for each step in the program sequence.  Figure 11 below provides a 
description of the items shown on the LCD in the Program >Edit mode.   
 
See Appendix A for examples of defined the program steps and the effects of using the 
global Program Option and Timer Option settings.
