Cleaning out the E2 controller needs to be done if:

the first time. 

•If all of the settings need to be cleared.

•If the program settings are unknown.

Open the E2 controller panel. There are two buttons 

located midway down on the main board (see Figure 2-2). 
These buttons are used to perform various hardware func-
tions.

Reset Button - The button 
labeled "RESET" on the main 
board resets the controller. 
Pressing and holding this button 
for one second will cause the E2 
to reset and retain all pro-
grammed applications, logs, and 
other data stored in memory.

Clean Out Button - The button labeled CLEAN OUT 

on the controller is used to perform a function called clean 
out. Using this button in conjunction with the Reset But-
ton will cause a clean out, which is a reset that erases all 
data from memory. The E2 will re-boot after a clean out 
with all programmed applications, logs, and other data 
erased.

Clean outs are also commonly called Blue “R” resets, 

named for the key presses required to clean out Emerson 
Retail Solutions’ previous generation of controllers, 
REFLECS.

Reset Button quickly. The 
screen will clear.

2. Press and Hold the Clean Out 
button.

in large text across the screen,

ton.
