Modes of Operation Elite Control Operations Manual
6 L-2230 ENGLISH
AUTOMATIC MODE
When Automatic Mode is selected, the system provides both heating and cooling as required. The Auto Mode LED is lit as well
as either the Heat Mode LED or Cool Mode LED, depending on which mode is in use. Cabin temperature in a given mode is
maintained within 2°F (1.1°C) of set point by default. (See “P-23: Set Point Temperature Differential” on page 10 for instructions
on how to reduce this variation to 1°F [0.55°C].) If the system was most recently cooling, the cabin temperature must drop below
the set point by at least 4°F (2.2°C) in order for the system to switch from cooling to heating. Similarly, if the system was most
recently heating, the cabin temperature must exceed the set point by at least 4°F (2.2°C) in order for the system to switch from
heating to cooling. This behavior prevents small temperature overshoots from causing the system to switch between heating
and cooling when it is not necessary.
COOL MODE
When Cool Mode is selected, the Cool LED is lit and only the cooling system operates as required. If the ambient temperature
drops below the set point, the system will not automatically switch to the Heat Mode.
HEAT MODE
When Heat Mode is selected, the Heat LED is lit and only the heating system operates as required. If the ambient temperature
rises above the set point, the system will not automatically switch to the Cool Mode.
MOISTURE MODE
Use Moisture Mode to help control humidity while you are away from the boat or away from a particular cabin. While the control
is in the On Mode, press the Mode button until the Moisture Mode LED is lit. Once Moisture Mode is enabled, the fan circulates
the air for 30 minutes. During this time, the air temperature is sampled and entered into memory. After 30 minutes, a cooling
cycle starts and continues until the temperature is lowered 2°F (1.1°C) or until the cooling cycle runs a maximum of one hour.
Four hours after the temperature is satisfied or the cooling cycle times out, this cycle repeats.
For software revision B23 and newer, Moisture Mode will also prevent your boat or a particular cabin from dropping below a
minimum temperature as a means to prevent the contents from freezing. When the temperature drops low, eliminating moisture
may become less of a concern and maintaining some minimum temperature may become more important. After the 30-minute
fan circulation, if the temperature is at or above the factory default setting of 50°F (10°C), a cooling cycle is started and runs as
described above. However, if the temperature is below 50°F (10°C), a heating cycle will be started instead. The heating cycle
will continue until the temperature reaches 50°F (10°C) or until the heating cycle runs a maximum of one hour. Four hours after
the temperature is satisfied or the cooling/heating cycle times out, the entire cycle repeats, each time determining whether
cooling or heating is required. See “P-24: Moisture Mode Minimum Temperature” on page 11 for more information on how to
adjust the 50°F (10°C) factory default to a different temperature that may better suit your particular requirements. The
adjustment range is 40°F (4.4°C) to 75°F (23.9°C). NOTE: On systems configured with reverse-cycle heat, the Moisture Mode
heat cycle will not be allowed to run when the ambient temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C). This is necessary to protect the
condenser coil from freezing. Systems configured with electric heat will be allowed to run the Moisture Mode heat cycle
regardless of the room temperature.
FAN MODES
Automatic Fan Mode
Elite has three automatic fan speeds available: high, medium and low. Automatic Fan Mode allows the Elite to determine the
required fan speed based on temperature differential. This permits a balance between the most efficient temperature control
and slower, quieter fan speeds. To select Automatic Fan Mode, press and release the Fan button until the LED next to the word
“Auto” is lit.
Manual Fan Mode
There are three manual fan speeds available: high, medium and low. Manual Fan Mode allows you to select and maintain a
desired fan speed. When a manual fan speed has been selected, the speed is indicated by one of the 3 LEDs above the AUTO
fan LED. The top LED represents the fastest speed. Press and release the Fan button until the LED next to the desired fan
speed is lit.
Fan-Only Mode
Use the Fan-Only Mode to operate the fan for air circulation when no cooling or heating is desired. From the Off Mode press
and release the Fan button to start fan speed one. Press and release again to select speed two. Press and release a third time
IMPORTANT
If your air conditioning unit is Cool Only (if it does not have a reversing valve) then Cool Mode MUST be selected. DO
NOT set to Automatic Mode for a Cool-Only unit. If Automatic Mode is selected and the thermostat calls for heat, the
compressor will run. Since there is no reversing valve, the air conditioning unit will supply cool air when heating is
desired. Cool-Only units do not heat.
