Sequence of Operation in real time. Fault or Alert messages are displayed when operational
problems occur. Advanced Service menu displays a list of possible causes for current Fault
and Alert conditions to aid in servicing. See the Troubleshooting section pages 65 - 69.
Economy Mode Operation: Control system automatically lowers the Operating Set Point
by a programmed value during user defined time periods. Helps reduce operating costs
during unoccupied or peak demand periods - see pages 55 - 58.

elements per bank) are energized according to adjustable (1 to 20°) differential set points for
each bank - see page 52. Helps reduce operating costs during low/moderate loads.
