Where is the "Allow Manual" Setting in ERP-FT v3.1.0?

Symptoms/Issue

My Echo Relay Panel Feedthrough (ERP-FT) no longer has the Allow Manual setting in the Output Setup menu after upgrading to v3.1.0.

Description/Explanation of Issue

This is expected.  This setting was removed from the ERP-FT in order to solve a software bug that could cause the system to lock relays on when it shouldn't. This only affects the ERP-FT and does not apply to the Echo Relay Panel Mains Feed (ERP) or the Sensor IQ (SIQ). 

Fix/Solution

If you need to bypass the controls of the panel to manually set a relay on or off, you will need to open the door to the relays and unplug the blue/red wiring harness connector from the Signal Distribution circuit board between the relays (see image below). Please do not pull the wires themselves.  The wires are small and can break.
