Add Fan Settings to Quick Adjust menu

Just an item for the wish-list:

If possible, could the Cooling Fan parameters be added to the Quick Adjust menu? That would be especially beneficial for those of us running cooler thermostats.

It is a fairly common practice for us cooler T-Stat guys to bump up the Fan temps every couple of weeks so we can get the oil temp over 212 -- just to flash off water and contaminants.

Also regarding the Fan settings....I found when I set the temps for the Fans to come on, install the changes, and go back to check the Fan temps again -- they are 2 degrees less than what I set. If I set for low speed to come on at 185^, I go back to check and the low speed is set to come on at 183^. This is with all the Fan settings -- both AC on and off. Any ideas why this would happen?

Thanks,
Phil C.

Quick adjust items are things that can be changed without a full flash. I'm fairly certain the fan code is deep inside the programming and does require a flash to change.

Thanks Mike and Mike.

MikeL, any thoughts on the Fan settings not staying where they are set?

The fan settings change like that due to the factor used to convert the hexadecimal value to a numeric value.
The predator sets it to what you set it too, then the factor might round the value up or down, it should not vary more than +/- 2 degrees when you look at the adjusted value again. Just one of those quirky dcx things.
