troller is doing. Seven possible modes can be displayed:
•

or turning off. Purge curtains and inlets are opening to the specified purge opening size.
•

purge opening size. The building remains in this mode for the duration specified under the Building Purge
Setting menu.
• Exiting Purge
– The building is transitioning out of purge mode. All devices designated as purge are closing or
turned off.
•
Entering Tunnel
