PRG Startup display - model program number

Normal status 59SC6APayne PG96VTA59MN7C

What the display is showing

After power-up the 3-digit display alternates between the model program number (PRG) and the software version (uEr). The program number is set at the factory for the furnace and should match the number on the rating plate. After about 60 seconds without button presses it shows the system status instead.

Applies to: 59SC6A, Payne PG96VTA and 59MN7C furnaces (3-digit display control)
