A5xx Controller UI
The A5xx Controller’s system status and setup information displays on an LCD UI with adjustable brightness. The
four status indicator icons show the defrost, cooling, evaporator fan, and alarm features and provide a visual
indication of the system status and alarms. The Defrost and Alarm icons also function as keys. You can use these
keys to initiate unscheduled defrost cycles and clear system alarms. You can also use the four touchpad keys to
navigate the system, see system information, change parameter settings, and respond to system alarms. The
following figure shows the controller’s UI, icons, and keys.
