Configuration Menu - 3100/4100 Series (Descriptions)

In most applications only a few, if any, configuration changes will be necessary.  Following is a description of the configuration settings and their functions:
Configuration Number Location Number Name Default Value Description
C000 L010 Off-Peak Method of Charge Control 5

Sets the method of brick core charging to be used during off-peak (charge) periods. System is configured for automatic charge control which is a value of five (5).
C001 L012 Start Brick Core Charge Set Point 50°F If utilizing automatic charge control as set in C000, this value indicates the outdoor temperature at which the system will start charging.

 

NOTE: If using the Comfort Plus as a "Stand Alone" furnace, the factory recommends a value of 50 (°F)/10(°C). If using the Comfort Plus with a heat pump, the factory recommends a value of 40(°F)/4.4(°C).
C002 L013 Full Brick Core Charge Set Point 10°F If utilizing automatic charge control as set in C000, this value indicates the outdoor temperature at which the system will target a full core charge.
C003 L020 Power Line Carrier (PLC) Channel Selection 0 If using PLC communication, this setting must match the channel setting in the Steffes PLC transmitting device. A value of zero indicates power line carrier communication is disabled.
