Using the Keypad/Display
The keypad/display consists of a 5-line by 22 character display, three keys and a “push and
roll” navigation wheel. There is an Alarm Button, Menu (Home) Button, and a Back Button.
The wheel is used to navigate between lines on a screen (page) and to increase and decrease
changeable values when editing. Pushing the wheel acts as an Enter Button.
Figure 1: Keypad Controls
The first line on each page includes the page title and the line number to which the cursor is
currently “pointing”. The line numbers are X/Y to indicate line number X of a total of Y lines
for that page. The left most position of the title line includes an “up” arrow to indicate there
are pages “above” the currently displayed items, a “down” arrow to indicate there are pages
“below” the currently displayed items or an “up/down” arrow to indicate there are pages
“above and below” the currently displayed page.
Each line on a page can contain status only information or include changeable data fields.
When a line contains status only information and the cursor is on that line all but the value
field of that line is highlighted meaning the text is white with a black box around it. When the
line contains a changeable value and the cursor is at that line, the entire line is highlighted.
Each line on a page may also be defined as a “jump” line, meaning pushing the navigation
wheel will cause a “jump” to a new page. An arrow is displayed to the far right of the line to
indicate it is a “jump” line and the entire line is highlighted when the cursor is on that line.
The keypad/display Information is organized into five main menus or menus groups; Alarm
Lists Menu, System Summary Menu, Standard Menus, Extended Menus and Advance Menus.
Note – Only menus and items that are applicable to the specific unit configuration are displayed.
The Alarm Lists Menu includes active alarm and alarm log information. The System
Summary Menu includes status information indicating the current operating condition of the
unit. Standard Menus include basic menus and items required to setup the unit for general
operation. These include such things are control mode, occupancy mode and heating and
cooling setpoints. Extended Menus include more advanced items for “tuning” unit operation
such as PI loop parameters and time delays. Advanced Menus include the most advanced
items such as “unit configuration” parameters and service related parameters. These generally
do not needing changing or accessing unless there is a fundamental change to or a problem
with the unit operation.

When the keypad/display is first accessed, the Home Key is pressed, the Back Key is pressed
multiple times, or if the keypad/display has been idle for the Password Timeout timer (default
10 minutes), the display will show a “main” page where the user can enter a password or
continue without entering a password. The three password levels available are Level 2, Level
4, and Level 6, with Level 2 having the highest level of access. Entering the Level 6 password
allows access to the Alarm Lists Menu, System Summary Menu, and the Standard Menus
group. Entering the Level 4 password allows similar access to Level 6 with the addition of the
Extended Menus group. Entering the Level 2 password allows similar access to Level 4 with
the addition of the Advanced Menus group. The Level 2 password is 6363, the Level 4 is
2526, and the Level 6 password is 5321. Continuing without entering one of these three levels
allows access only to the Alarm Lists Menu and the System Summary Menu.
Note – Alarms can be acknowledged without entering a password.
Figure 2: Password Main Page
The password field initially has a value **** where each * represents an adjustable field.
These values can be changed by entering the Edit Mode described below.
Figure 3: Password Entry Page
Entering an invalid password has the same effect as continuing without entering a password.
Once a valid password has been entered, the controller allows further changes and access
without requiring the user to enter a password until either the password timer expires or a
different password is entered. The default value for this password timer is 10 minutes. It is
changeable from 3 to 30 minutes via the Timer Settings menu in the Extended Menus.

Using the Keypad/Display
Navigation Mode
In the Navigation Mode, when a line on a page contains no editable fields all but the value
field of that line is highlighted meaning the text is white with a black box around it. When the
line contains an editable value field the entire line is inverted when the cursor is pointing to
that line.
When the navigation wheel is turned clockwise, the cursor moves to the next line (down) on
the page. When the wheel is turned counter-clockwise the cursor moves to the previous line
(up) on the page. The faster the wheel is turned the faster the cursor moves.
When the Back Button is pressed the display reverts back to the previously displayed page. If
the Back button is repeated pressed the display continues to revert one page back along the
current navigation path until the “main menu” is reached.
When the Menu (Home) Button is pressed the display reverts to the “main page.”
When the Alarm Button is depressed, the Alarm Lists menu is displayed.
Edit Mode
The Editing Mode is entered by pressing the navigation wheel while the cursor is pointing to a
line containing an editable field. Once in the edit mode pressing the wheel again causes the
editable field to be highlighted. Turning the wheel clockwise while the editable field is
highlighted causes the value to be increased. Turning the wheel counter-clockwise while the
editable field is highlighted causes the value to be decreased. The faster the wheel is turned the
faster the value is increased or decreased. Pressing the wheel again cause the new value to be
saved and the keypad/display to leave the edit mode and return to the navigation mode.
Service Timers
A user may override timers for a period of up to 240 minutes by setting the Service Timer to a
non-zero number. When the Service Timer is not zero, the times listed below are set to the
Service Time (Default = 20 seconds) instead of the normal values. This allows the unit to be
run through its operating states without having to wait for the normal time delays to expire.
These times revert to the standard values when the Service Time count down to zero or is set
to zero by the user.
The affected times are:
• Cooling Stage Time
• Heating Stage Time
• Start Initial Time
• Recirculation
• ZeroOATime
Rapid Start
The user may elect to initiate a rapid startup sequence at unit power up by setting the Rapid
Start flag to Yes. When this flag is set to Yes, the Service Timer is set to 10 minutes whenever
the power is reset to the controller.

Figure 5 graphically shows the cooling reset operation. Example, The normal DAT cooling
setpoint is 55.0 F. The cooling reset scheme is set to airflow. The unit is to adjust the DAT
from 55.0 F to 65.0 F. When the unit is at 35% of the design airflow the discharge temperature
is to be 65.0 F. When the unit is at 80% of its airflow the DAT is to be 55.0F. This example
would give the following inputs:
Min Clg Spt = 55.0 F
Min Clg Spt @ = 80%
Max Clg Spt = 65.0 F
Max Clg Spt @ = 35%
Based on the above, the unit will have a discharge air temperature setpoint of 55.0 F from 80%
to 100% of the airflow.

On CAV units the Ventilation Limit and the Demand Control Ventilation Limit are fixed
values set equal to the Vent Limit= and DCV Limit= parameters. On VAV units the OA
Damper Position increases from the Vent Limit= value to the LoFloVent Limit= value as the
VFD speed goes from 100% down to the Min Clg Spd= value. The Demand Control
Ventilation Limit in this VAV case is determined by the Ventilation Limit X DVC Limit=/Vent
Limit=. When the Min OA Reset= parameter is set to “None” the Min OA Pos= value is set to
