TROUBLESHOOTING
Power Disruption
The AQ251’s system and thermostat (zone settings)
parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and are
updated as they change.
When a power disruption or loss of power occurs, the system
configuration is retained in memory.
When power is restored, the AQ251 Control Panel enters
auto-detection mode, reads its previously-stored settings, and
initializes all AQUATROL network components according to
their saved parameters.
POWER DISRUPTION GREATER THAN 4 HOURS
If a power disruption lasts for more than 4 hours, the AQ251
will have discharged its internal super capacitor, and the
DATE and TIME OF DAY settings will need to be reset.
Upon restart, the AQ251 displays its clock settings as: YEAR
= 2008, MONTH = JAN, DATE = 1. The message PLS SET
DAY/TIME displays. This displayed message continues until
the DATE and TIME OF DAY are updated.
NOTE: If the power failure parameter is set to Backlight
(USER MENU > PREFERENCES/TIME), the LCD
backlight flashes repeatedly, along with the mes-
sage.
The AQ251 remains permanently in OCCUPIED (or Comfort)
mode until the DAY and TIME OF DAY are updated.
