Appendix B
Operating Parameters
Operating parameters are organized in this appendix according to the logical
groups listed in Table B‐1. For information about selecting and editing
operating parameters, refer to Section 3, Installation, Setting Up the Melter.
NOTE: Parameter numbers that are reserved or that are not used do not
appear in this appendix.
Standard
0 Enter Password
Description: A user‐defined password that prevents unauthorized
changes to set‐point temperatures and operating
parameters.
Value: 0 to 9999
Resolution: 1
Default Value: 4000
Format: —
Use: This parameter only appears if a password is created
using parameter 11 and then enabled using parameter 10.
NOTE: The melter remains in the password‐protected
mode for two minutes after the last key press. After exiting
the setup mode, attempting to re‐enter the setup mode,
even before two minutes has elapsed, will require you to
re‐enter the password.
Description: A non editable value that indicates the total number of hours that the
heaters have been on.
Resolution: 1 hour
Default Value: 0
Format: —
Use: The right display indicates up to 9999 hours of heater operation. When
the accumulated heater hours reaches 10,000, the display alternates
every two seconds between the three left most digits (thousands) and
the three right digits (hundreds). For example, 10,001 hours would be
displayed as ”10,” for two seconds and then ”001” for two seconds. The
comma is present if parameter 20, Temperature Units, is set to degrees
Fahrenheit. A period is present if parameter 20 is set to degrees
Celsius.

Use: Use the right-display scroll keys to review the log entries for the last ten
faults. Empty log entries are indicated by “_-F0.” Refer to Monitor the

Resolution: —
Use: Use the right-display key to review the log entries for the last ten
changes that were made to the operating parameters or the set-point
temperatures. Empty log entries are indicated by “P-_.”
Resolution: 1 minute
Use: The ready delay allows the contents of the tank an additional amount of
time to heat before pump turns on.
NOTE: The time remaining on the ready delay is indicated in minutes in
the right display at the end of every automatic scan cycle. The left
display indicates “rd” whenever the time remaining appears. When the
delay time reaches 1 minute, the time remaining appears in seconds.
Resolution: 1 hour
Format: —
Use: Set the service interval time to signal a user-defined service check or
maintenance event, such as changing the filter. The service LED will
turn on after the pre-set time elapses. With the melter in the scan mode,
press the Clear/Reset key to turn off the service LED and reset the
time.

Use: Set the standby time when you want the operator to be able to place the
melter into the standby mode for a limited period of time (break, lunch,
etc.). When manual standby is enabled (value greater than 0 minutes),
the standby LED blinks.
Set the standby delta (parameter 23) to the desired value before setting

card for information about wiring and setting up the optional outputs.
When control option 6, Alert is selected, the output is active whenever
the melter enters the two minute fault monitoring period. If the potential
fault condition clears before the end of the two minute period, the output
signal ends. Refer to Section 4, Operation, Monitor Melter Faults, for
information about fault monitoring.
