Installer Settings

Ener-G-NET features two distinct programming areas: User Modes and Installer Settings. User Modes consist of three end-user functional modes, while Installer Settings are primarily accessed upon initial setup to specify critical operating parameters. Ener-G-NET factory defaults allow traditional operation suitable for most homes. To optimize the control setup, reference the tables below.

Temperature settings above 120° F can create a scald hazard.

User Modes are used to select from three distinct operational modes. To select, press the green MODE button and press again to cycle through the three available modes. A green dot illuminates to display the current mode.

User Mode
