Sterling Plumbing scc2 Configurable Settings/Defaults, Station Setup Factory Presets

Chapter 6: Configurable Settings/Defaults

This section describes the proper setup of the 2 pump, 20-station control system parameters. These parameters are operator changeable; however, these items should require setup only during the initial installation. Only authorized personnel should change them.

Many of the variables and setup parameters have been preset at the factory and do not need to be changed. However, this section of the manual will address all of the setup parameters that were available at the time of printing. The purpose of this is to familiarize the reader with all the setup parameters and their usage.

	controller may attempt to refill the station before it
	is empty, causing material to back up and/or
