1.03 System Overview
Elite is a user friendly, easy to operate, programmable
temperature control.
Press the Power Button once to engage the system. The
Display indicates room temperature when the system is
on and the Display is blank when the system is off.
Press and release the Mode Button until the desired
Mode LED is illuminated.
Set the desired room temperature by pressing the Up or
Down Button. The set point can be viewed by momen-
tarily pressing and releasing the Up or Down Button.
Fan speed operation is automatic allowing fan speed to
decrease as room temperature is approached in the Cool
Mode. The fan will operate at low speed when set point
is satisfied. Manual fan speeds can be selected by
pressing and releasing the Fan Button to select the
desired manual fan speed. The fan will operate at the
speed selected and will not change speeds with room
temperature.
The fan can be programmed to cycle on and off with
demand, allowing the fan to run only when cooling or
heating is required. Normally the automatic fan speed
operation is reversed in the Heating Mode, however, the
fan can be programmed to operate the same as in the
Cooling Mode.
Memory: Elite has nonvolatile memory which requires no
batteries or any form of backup power. When power is
lost the operating parameters are retained indefinitely.
When power is restored, the unit resumes operating as
last programmed.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO END USER:
If your air conditioning unit is a 24,000 BTU model,
or if it has a High Velocity blower, then you MUST
reprogram parameter P-14 prior to operating equipment.
A 24K unit is identifiable by the “24” in the model number
(i.e., VCD24K). A High Velocity blower does not have a
blower motor overhang, the motor is inside the blower,
and there is an “HV” in the model number. See the
Programming section P-14 for instructions.
