Explanation of Icons
When you power up your Core for the very first time — after completing installation on your compressors and piping — you’ll be greeted with the startup screen.
From here, you’ll see two options:
- Run Setup Wizard
- Go to Dashboard
Since this is the first time your Core is running, it hasn’t been commissioned yet. That means you’ll need to run the Setup Wizard before the system can start operating correctly.
If you’d like a more detailed walkthrough of the commissioning process, please see our dedicated Support Articles where we go into this step by step.
Below is an overview of the icons you’ll encounter inside the Setup Wizard, with a short explanation of what each one represents:
