Remote dethermalization (RDT) 

The model can be dethermalized by keeping T3 (RDT) pressed until the display shows the 
following message: 
 

 
 
 

The  Timer  will  terminate  the  sequence  by  executing  the  remaining  steps  until  the  disc 
reaches the end of its travel. 
 

Note: it is possible to program RDT to just stop the engine at first activation. Please 
see the following for the details.

Disc positioning modification 

 

The Programmer allows changing the positions assumed by the disc for each function. 
 
1.  Press and release T4 (Servo) to enter the FUNCTION menu. The disc moves to the 

start position 

 

 

 
 
 

 
2.  Press T3 (func+) or T4 (func-) to increase or decrease the current function and step 

the  disc  to  the  related  position.  The  disc  steps  to  7  different  positions  (START 

 

FUNC1 

  FUNC2 

  FUNC3 

  FUNC4 

  FUNC5 

  DT).  By  convention,  START 

and DT correspond to the initial and final disc position respectively. 

3.  By  T3  or  T4  reach  the  wished  function  (e.g.  FUNC5),  then  press  T1  until  the
