Control Setup and Operation
The Mascot II control is an integrated electronic
control that replaces many of the individual components
found on older appliances. The control acts as the
ignition control, pump control, high limit and cascading/
lead lag control and is setup using the digital display on
the appliance.
8.1 Digital Display Navigation
The Digital Display is centered in the middle of
the User Interface and has 3 seperate modes of control.
They are USER, SETUP and DIAGNOSTIC. The names
of these modes clearly labels the intent of the different
levels of control. A USER might be the homeowner or
a service technician. SETUP displays all the controls
needed when setting up or expanding the boiler. And
DIAGNOSTIC is intended for a trained Mascot ll
technician. The menu structure and variables in each are
shown in Table 9, Table 10, and Table 11.
USER Mode is the home screen shown on the
control. If the display is not in USER Mode wait for the
display timeout period to be reached or press the Done
button to return to the USER Mode.
SETUP Mode is accessed by holding the up and
down arrow keys simultaneously for 3 seconds.
DIAGNOSTIC Mode is accessed by holding the
NEXT button for 3 seconds
Once in a particular Mode, navigation consists of
pressing the next button to scroll from item to item and
then pressing the up and down arrows to change values.
Once the value is adjusted, the NEXT or DONE button
can be pressed.
