Changing Setpoint

The unit must be powered up (START/RUN-OFF switch in the START/RUN position) or in PC mode, and the default screen must be 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 bring the displayed setpoint to the desired value. The setpoint changes 1° per press (or 0.1° if configured). Press and hold for continuous scrolling.

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!

If you do NOT press the EQUALS (=) key, the setpoint screen will flash, the MessageCenter will display "SETPOINT NOT CHANGED", and the system will revert to the original 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 control system may be configured with a different minimum and/or maximum. "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, while the unit is in Pretrip, or while the unit is in Sleep mode.
