CONTROL DEVICE SETTINGS 

 

GENERALITIES 

 

All the control devices are set and tested in the factory before the unit is dispatched. However, after the 

unit has been in service for a reasonable period of time you can perform a check on the operating and 

safety devices. The settings are shown in Tables II and III. 

 

The control devices may be serviced SOLELY BY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS: 
incorrect settings may cause serious damage to the unit and injury to 

persons. 

 

Many of the operating parameters and system settings are configured by means of the microprocessor 

control and are protected by passwords.
