Hood controls, ECPM03 based SC/DCV - Manual to Auto Option
This article explains the Manual to Auto option and the Manual to Auto Time setting on ECPM03 based hood controls, released in 2012 and present on nearly all hood controls from 2012 through 2025.
This option can be enabled so the system will stay in manual mode (on by button) for a set period of time. It is enabled by default in most systems and set to 1 hours.
The purpose of this setting is to prevent kitchen staff from leaving fans on overnight.
It is recommended that all systems run in Auto mode, whereas the temperature of the cooking process activates the fans and they automatically turn off when the heat dissipates.
For information on HMI Menu Access and Navigation, please see the article under the same name elsewhere in this section.
Manual to Auto? – Yes/No option.
When the system is turned on manually (by button), a timer will start that sends the system back into automatic mode once the timer is
completed (this is advised to be about the length of time the restaurant will be open).
Manual to Auto Time - This is the length of time the system will be in manual mode (on by button) before switching over to automatic mode.
To access the Fan Zone Config section of the controls, please review the SC/DCV Owners Manual.
