Changing Setpoint

Change the target temperature setpoint on the Vector 8500

The unit must be powered up (START/RUN-OFF switch in the START/RUN position) or in PC mode with the default screen displayed. Press the Back soft key if needed to return to the default screen.

Step 1: Adjust the Temperature

Press the UP (▲) or DOWN (▼) arrow key to change the displayed setpoint. The setpoint changes 1° per press (or 0.1° if configured). Press and hold the key for faster scrolling — the longer you hold, the faster it changes.

Step 2: Save the Setpoint

Press the EQUALS (=) key to save the new setpoint. The MessageCenter will display "SETPOINT CHANGED" for 10 seconds.

Always Press EQUALS to Save!

If you do NOT press the EQUALS (=) key, after 10 seconds of no key activity the entire display and Light Bar will flash, the MessageCenter will display "SETPOINT NOT CHANGED", and the system will revert to the previous setpoint. You MUST press EQUALS to save your change.

Setpoint Range

The default setpoint range is -22°F to +95°F (-30°C to +35°C). The system may be configured with different minimum/maximum values. "MAX SETPOINT HAS BEEN REACHED" or "MIN SETPOINT HAS BEEN REACHED" will display in the MessageCenter when a limit is reached.

Setpoint Memory

The control system always retains the last entered setpoint in memory.

When You Cannot Change Setpoint

The setpoint cannot be changed while: • Viewing the Alarm List, Data List, or Functional Parameters • The unit is in Pretrip • The unit is in Sleep mode
