Diagnostic Mode
The diagnostic mode is a tool incorporated within the controls
and can be accessed via the optical display. This tool is designed
to assist in verifying temperature, inputs, outputs, and to retrieve
recorded faults stored by the controls by displaying the various
information via the LCD. Ten (10) screens, each having a particular
function, are used to display this information. For example, screen
three (3) displays the fresh food n thermistor temperature, and
screens four (4) and ve (5) display stored fault history.
The LCD utilizes a dual 7-segment display within the LCD. The
screen number is displayed utilizing the left-side 7-segment dis-
play while inputs, outputs, and various fault related information is
displayed utilizing individual segments of the right-side 7-segment
display. These individual segments will be dened/explained under
each of the individual screen descriptions to follow.
