Resetting the FlexStat

Types of Reset

If the FlexStat is not operating correctly or if a low

limit alarm has occurred, the FlexStat should be

reset (reinitialized). Any reset interrupts normal op-

eration, and three types of reset exist:
• A warm start is generally the least disruptive op-

tion (restarting normal operation the quickest).

• If problems still persist, try a cold start. (This

should also be used after a new Control Basic

program is loaded and compiled.)

• If problems still persist (or major changes in a

firmware update have taken place)

restoring fac-

tory defaults (and reconfiguring and reprogram-

ming the FlexStat) may be required.

The “up time” since the last reset can be seen in the

About menu. See

About the FlexStat on page 6

.

Warm and Cold Starts

CAUTION

During a restart, the analog outputs go to zero,
and relays go to their normally open state. A re-
start is a process that lasts around ten seconds,
and it may result in several changes of state
for an output, turning equipment off and on
abruptly. Before resetting the FlexStat, manually
override equipment as needed. If a large fan
is controlled by the FlexStat, for example, set
a minimum off time. See

Fan Setup on page 8

(built-in, selectable applications with compres-
sors have a default programmed minimum off
time of 300 seconds).

A warm start does the following in the FlexStat:
• (After zeroing out objects during the restart

process) restores present values of objects to

their last values before the restart (until they are

updated by the FlexStat’s programs).

• Restarts the controller’s Control Basic programs.
• Leaves configuration and programming intact.

CAUTION

If the checksum test in RAM fails during a warm
start, a cold start is performed instead.
