This Quick Reference Guide provides you with a quick overview of the procedures of some
basic functions of the Data Alarm Processor-III (DAP III). More complete information is available in the DAP III Operation Manual that is shipped with the unit or can be downloaded from
the Data Aire website (www.dataaire.com) or ordered from the Data Aire literature department.

GETTING STARTED
Prior to starting the control panel, check all mechanical connections (refrigerant
piping, condenser water, drain line and humidifier supply water) ensuring all have
been completed and checked.
Check the high voltage power supply. Verify it has been connected to the unit.

PROCESSOR START-UP
Open the panel, remove the protective paper from the battery and ensure
manual override switch for power is set to the ON position, see page 4.
Press the power ON button to energize the panel.
The panel will proceed through an automatic diagnostic self-test.
If there is a failure during the self-test, the display will stop scrolling and only the
message with the failure will be displayed. On any self-test failure, simply press
the SELECT to bypass the FAIL message.
On initial start-up it is not unusual to fail the RAM SIGNATURE test because
there is no stored data available.
Once the self-test is complete, the timed START DELAY will be displayed (the
start delay is programmable through Menu Group 3, Sub-Menu 3-4 in five second intervals to minimize the in rush current with multiple units).
After the start delay is complete, the unit will start and be in normal operating
mode. The blower will start upon completion of the timed start delay.
The cooling, reheat, humidifier and dehumidification functions are inhibited for
one (1) minute after the blower starts. This allows the temperature and humidity
sensors time to adjust.

Menus are grouped in the DAP III from 1 to 10. Within each menu grouping there
are submenus. The grouping are:
