4. Operating Instructions
The PCT-1000 has four operational modes. The operational modes are Setup, Run,
Manual and Active Setup. The Setup mode is for modifying system or profile
parameters. The Run mode is for operating the unit with a profile that uses four
zones of heating. The Manual mode is for operating the unit with a single zone of
heat and no time limit. The Active Setup mode allows for the changing of
parameters within a running profile.
