Steffes 6140 - Manual (Page 33)

Anticipated Peak ~ Used only by certain power
companies as an alternative method of storing heat in
the brick core. An "A" will illuminate on the control
panel.
Automatic Charge Control ~ Method of brick core
charge regulation where a sensor monitors outdoor
temperature to automatically adjust the brick core
temperature.
Brick Core Charge Level ~ The amount of heat that
is stored in the brick core.
Charge Period ~ Off-peak time in which the system
is allowed to store heat in its brick core. A "C" will
illuminate on the control panel.
Control Panel ~ Contains the buttons to adjust and
the display to indicate system functions.
Control Period ~ On-peak time in which the system
is not allowed to store heat in its brick core. A "P" will
illuminate on the control panel.
Edit Mode ~ Process of changing or viewing the
values in a microprocessor location. This is accom-
plished with the use of the M (mode) button, the ñ
(up arrow) button, and the ò (down arrow) button.
Location (Function) ~ Where the specific operating
information of the system is stored. These locations
are part of the system microprocessor and are accessed
through the control panel. Displayed as an "L" on the
faceplate when in the edit mode.
Location Value ~ The specific information set and
stored in a location on the microprocessor which
defines system operation. A value for a specific
location is accessed through the control panel.

Manual Charge Control ~ Method of brick core
charge regulation where the owner must periodically
adjust the brick core temperature setting in relation to
the outdoor temperature.
Microprocessor ~ Device on the circuit board of the
system which stores and processes the information for
controlling the operation of the system.
Off-peak ~ The time during the day or night when the
power company can supply electricity more economi-
cally and may offer a special incentive such as a
reduced electric rate or billing credits for the electricity
consumed during this time. Typically, electrical usage
is not controlled during an off-peak time. (The system
will provide heat to satisfy comfort requirements
during this time as well as charge or store heat in its
brick core.)
On-peak ~ The time during the day or night when the
power company experiences a high demand for elec-
tricity. To limit demand, certain appliances are
controlled to avoid usage by them and/or a premium
for the electricity consumed during this time may be
charged to discourage electrical usage. (The system is
not allowed to charge or store heat in its brick core
during peak periods. Heating requirements are satis-
fied by only the heat it has stored in its brick core.)
Outdoor Sensor ~ Device that senses outdoor air
temperatures and communicates this information to
the Comfort Plus for automatic charge control.
Room Temperature Set Point ~ The targeted room
temperature the system is to maintain. If the room
thermostat senses a temperature below this point, the
heater's blower will come on and extract heat from the
brick core.
