System and Control Options
7.9Override Output
The Override Output feature allows you to manually change the state of any digital output to ON or OFF, overriding automatic control by the Liebert AC4 (the default setting for all outputs). This menu also allows you to release the manual override, returning any output to automatic control.
There are two ways to override automatic control of outputs:
•Use the Override Output menu, as described in this section, to turn any output ON or OFF.
•Use the hardware switch on the circuit board to force all four outputs ON at the same time (see Item F - Manual Override Switch (outputs) in 1.6 Controller Board Overview).
After an output is forced manually ON or OFF, it remains in that state until returned to automatic control through this menu.
Table 20 summarizes the four types of control, including the abbreviated message that appears on the LCD and in log reports.
