Operation 

 
With the display and button features, basic unit control 
and/or monitoring can be performed.  Under normal 
operation the display will show: 

 

Current Time (Supplied from the pCO3 controller) 

 

Current Day (Supplied from the pCO3 controller) 

 

Current Room Temperature, Humidity, Cooling 
Setpoint or Heating Setpoint. 

 

Current Room Humidity Level 

 

Current Mode (Occupied or Unoccupied) 

 

Compressor / Fan Speed  

Using the buttons on the pAD, adjustments can be made to 
these currently displayed conditions.  Note that only 
occupied setpoints can be changed.  The setpoint 
adjustment range can be limited in the pCO3 controller using 
a service keypad (see pCO3 microcontroller manual). 

 

Adjusting the Temperature and/or Humidity Setpoints: 

To change the temperature setpoint, use the 

“Up” 

or

 

“Down”

 arrows to change the value.  This changes the 

Cooling Setpoint.  The Heating Setpoint will be 4°F below 
the Cooling Setpoint.  For example, if the Cooling Setpoint is 
74°F, the Heating Setpoint will automatically be set to 70°F. 

To change the humidity setpoint, press the 

“Hum”

 button 

and the Humidity setpoint will be displayed.  Use the 

“Up”

 or 

“Down”

 arrows to change the setpoint. 

 

Unoccupied Mode Override to Occupied Mode: 

In unoccupied mode you can press the 

“Sleep”

 button to 

activate Occupied Override.  Each press of the button 
increases the override time by an hour.  To cancel, wait a 
few seconds then press the 

“Sleep”

 button once and the 

override will be canceled. 

 

Clearing Alarms: 

The pAD will display Remote Alarm from the pCO3, if an 
alarm occurs the 

“Bell”

 symbol will flash and the main 

display will alternate between the temperature & 

“Alr”

.  To 

clear an alarm, press the 

“Mode”

 button.  Note that active 

alarms cannot be cleared and Service Personnel must be 
called to determine the source of the alarm and correct.  

 

Programming the Sensor: 

The sensor ships from Modine fully programmed.  If changes 
are required follow the instructions below.   

Note:   This should only be done by a qualified service 
technician. 

Press 

“UP” 

and

 

“DOWN” 

together until 

“PAR”

 is displayed 

in the main screen.  While still holding the 

“UP” 

arrow, 

release the 

“Down” 

arrow,

 

then press the 

“TEMP” 

button. 

To cycle through the values, use the 

“UP” 

and

 

“DOWN” 

arrows.  To make a change, press the 

“TEMP”

 button, the 

display will flash, and then make the change using the 

“UP” 

and

 

“DOWN”

 buttons.  When done, press the 

“TEMP”

 

button.  

To finalize the operation, press & hold 

“TEMP” 

until the 

normal display is returned, then press resume.  If this is not 
done the changes will not be made.
