Selecting Cycle Sentry or Continuous Mode
When Cycle Sentry Mode is selected, the unit will start and stop automatically to maintain setpoint, keep the engine warm, and the battery charged. When Continuous Mode is selected, the unit starts automatically and runs continuously to maintain setpoint and provide constant airflow.
See Selecting Cycle Sentry or Continuous Mode () for an overview of the procedure.
If the unit is operating in Cycle Sentry Mode, the Cycle Sentry Icon will be present in the upper right corner of the display as shown below. If the Cycle Sentry Icon ( Cycle Sentry Icon) is not present the unit is operating in Continuous Mode.
If allowed by OptiSet Plus, Cycle Sentry Mode or Continuous Mode is selected by pressing the Cycle Sentry/Continuous Key as shown ( Cycle Sentry/Continuous Key).
If the unit is in Cycle Sentry Mode, pressing the Cycle Sentry/Continuous Key changes the mode from Cycle Sentry Mode to Continuous Mode. The display confirms the change ( Continuous Mode).
The new mode is confirmed for three seconds ( New Mode Confirmed).
The display then returns to the Standard Display. In the example shown ( Cycle Sentry Icon Not Shown = Continuous Mode), the absence of the Cycle Sentry Icon indicates that the unit is running in Continuous Mode.
Pressing the Cycle Sentry/Continuous Key again allows the operator to change back to Cycle Sentry Mode operation.
