Navigating The Display

Menu Button

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 400 uses a simple user interface to accomplish a 
variety of functions. The four buttons beneath the display 

are used to change the menu, sort through Items, and 
adjust each setting as required.

The menus display in the Menu Field at the top left side of 
the LCD. Four menus are available: View, Adjust, Monitor 
and Toolbox (identified by the wrench symbol).

The View menu allows the user to view the current 
status of various system parameters.
The Adjust menu allows the installer to adjust settings 
to ensure control operation matches requirements of 
the mechanical system.

The Monitor menu keeps track of run times and 
other important data that is collected during system 
operation.
The Toolbox menu is a source of system information 
and includes useful tools for commissioning and test-
ing the system.

Item Button

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each menu contains a list of Items that can be viewed and, 
in some cases, adjusted. Press the item button to scroll 
through the list in each Menu.

To view the next available item, press and release the 
Item button.
To view the previous item, hold down the Item button, 
and press and release the Up button.

Up and Down Buttons

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Up and Down buttons are primarily used for adjusting 
settings.

To adjust a setting:

Select the appropriate menu using the Menu button.
Select the item using the Item button. 
Use the Up or Down button to make the adjustment.



Default Item

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When navigating menus, the display reverts back to the 
default item (View Menu) after 60 seconds of button 
inactivity.

To set the default item in the View menu, display the 
item for more than five seconds.

Access Levels and Thermostat Lock

The 400 is shipped pre-programmed with common settings. 
The 400 has an ‘Installer’ access level that allows full access 
to all settings and a ‘User’ access level that restricts the 
number of settings to only the Warm Weather Shut Down 
and the temperature units. The 400 defaults to the ‘User’ 
access level after 12 hours of operation.
All thermostats are locked while the 400 is in the ‘User’ 
access level. Certain settings on the thermostat will be 
unavailable while the thermostat is locked.

To change to the ‘Installer’ access level and Unlock the 
thermostats:

In the Toolbox menu, locate Access
Adjust the access level to ‘Installer’ by pressing the up 
or down button. This will permit setting changes to the 
control.


Programming and Settings

The 400 settings can be found in the ‘Adjust’ menu. When 
changing the items value, the setting is saved to the control’s 
memory once the Item button is pressed to advance to the 
next item, or after 60 seconds, the control times out and 
reverts back to the ‘View’ menu.

All settings are stored in permanent memory and will be 
kept correctly during any loss of power.
