Navigate to this screen via the  Control Logic option on the Menu then choosing the Thermal tab. Editing only available when in Technician mode.

Field Definitions 

Cooling Mode: operating mode for the cooling control logic.

• Auto will adopt the state calculated based on thresholds specified.
• ManualOn - will for the system state ON.
• ManualOff - will force the system state OFF.

Hi Cell Celcius (CT5):  Cell temperature threshold that is OK to operate, if above will start the cooling control when monitoring is enabled.

Hi Ambient (BT5):    WatchMon supervisor temperature threshold that is OK to operate, if above will start the cooling control when monitoring is enabled.

In Bypass:  when monitoring is enabled will start the cooling control if any cellmon modules goes into bypass.

Delay transition - Stop: Ensures that the state change from ON to OFF must exceed beyond the period specified in seconds.

Delay transition - Restart: Ensures that the state change from OFF to ON must exceed beyond the period specified in seconds.

Heating Mode: operating mode for the heating control logic.

• Auto will adopt the state calculated based on thresholds specified.
• ManualOn - will for the system state ON.
• ManualOff - will force the system state OFF.

Lo Cell Celcius (CT4): Cell temperature threshold that is OK to operate, if below will start the heating control when monitoring is enabled.

Lo Ambient (BT4):  WatchMon supervisor temperature threshold that is OK to operate, if below will start the heating control when monitoring is enabled.

Stop: Ensures that the state change from ON to OFF must exceed beyond the period specified in seconds.

Restart:  Ensures that the state change from OFF to ON must exceed beyond the period specified in seconds.

Status RX: Flashes as status telemetry is received (hover over will display time received).

Setup RX: Flashes when setup configuration is received (hover over will display time received).
