Monitoring Mode: 

Set  the  Q-Controller  to  read  all  connected  inputs  and  control 
outputs in real time 
 

Simulation Mode: 

Simulation  is  to  assist  in  testing  the  installation  before 
commissioning.  When  the  simulation  mode  is  selected,  the  Q-
Controller  will  stop  polling  remote  input  devices,  you  can 
manually input simulation gas value or switch input status in tab 
[Monitoring]  screen.  The  Q-Controller  will  display  the  simulating 
value and use it to calculate the statuses of relays and buzzer, as 
well as 4-20mA analog output. This feature is able to evaluate the 
user  settings  and  testing  the  installation  (e.g.:  the  travel  of  the 
valve, fan speed, relay set points, etc. can be verified.) 
 

Calibration Mode: 

This  function  is  for  calibration,  system  testing  etc.  When  the 
calibration mode is selected, the relay, buzzer and analog output, 
etc., statuses will freeze in whatever state they are already in.
