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.
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.
Press the EQUALS (=) key to save the new setpoint. The MessageCenter will display "SETPOINT CHANGED" for 10 seconds.
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.
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.
The control system always retains the last entered setpoint in memory.
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
