ZONED HEATERS
To configure your system for zoned heaters, set dipswitch # 8 to ON. Since
the two heater outputs function independently, different probes are assigned
to each output: Probes 1 and 2 are assigned to Heater 1 and Probes 3 and
4 are assigned to Heater 2. Individual probes can be turned on or off using
the dipswitch settings. If both probes are activated for a given heater, the
average temperature from both probes is used. To use stages 10 and 11 for
heating, set internal switches # 6 and 7 to ON. To use only stage 11 for
heating, set internal switch # 6 to ON and # 7 to OFF.
Both heating zones can have negative and positive heater offsets. A nega-
tive offset is used when controlling heat mats, for example.
To avoid ventilation problems when using zoned heating, a special protection
is built into the device. Suppose the animals are young and confined to one
part of the building (zone 1) while the rest of the building is heated at a
minimum level (zone 2). If the temperature difference between zones is too

great and zone 1 fans operate according to the average temperature for both
zones, cooling in zone 1 may be insufficient. A built-in protection will operate
the fans according to the probes of the zone with the highest temperature
whenever the temperature difference between zones is greater than a user-
defined value.
