The controller has three (3) operation levels:
Operator level no. 1:
Parameterization of the set point value:
You can directly select the set point value for heating by pressing the SET button (regardless of the standby
mode). If you keep pushing SET key and press UP and DOWN buttons, you can increase or decrease the
set point values. The newly set values will then apply for the control functions.
Operator level no. 2 (P=parameters):
If you press both the UP and DOWN button at the same time and hold them pressed for at least 4 seconds,
you will get into a parameter list for the control parameters (these parameters begin with P1). You can use
the UP button to move the list upward, and the DOWN button to scroll downward in this list. When you press
the SET button, this will display the value of a single parameter. If you then press the UP or the DOWN
button, while still holding down the SET button, then you can increase or decrease the value of the respective
parameter. When you release all buttons, the new value will be saved. If you take no action or press any
button for more than 60 seconds, the system will jump back to the first display.
