Overrides  

Not only is the ClimateBoss programmed for automatic operation but it can also give the grower 

temporary overrides of the target temperature, manual start of the timer or dehumidification options, 
and on/off control of each output. 

Target Temperature (Set Point) Override 

The target temperature can be temporarily changed from the 

controller’s home screen. This feature is primarily used for when you want to 
change the growing temperature because it is too uncomfortable to work in, but 
you want to revert back to the automatic program after you have completed 
your task.  

To override, press the area of the home screen that says the zone you 

are working in and SP = ? underneath. See Figure 17: Set Point Override. By tapping that box, you will be 
brought to a screen to enter a temperature. Entering a value will turn the Set Point green on the home 
screen, signaling a manual override. The temperature will reset back to the normal programmed set 
point (see Stages, page 13) during the next stage transition (DIF, DAY, NIGHT). 

Vent Cycle or Timer Manual Start 

The dehumidification vent cycle or a timer cycle can be manually started. This allows you to 

program a cycle, set it to off and run it only on a manual cycle. For instructions on how to manually start 
one of these cycles, see Page 15 for the vent cycle and Page 18 for the timer cycle. 

Outputs 

Each Heat or Cool output can be set to on or off, in addition to the automatic function. This will 

override the safety checks and you may have instances where the heats and cools run at the same time. 
For information on how to manually turn on or off an output, see Page 14, Outputs.  

Error Codes 

Clock – indicates that the controller’s clock is not functioning properly.   

TH1 – indicates that thermistor 1 has a short circuit or an open circuit 

TH2 – indicates that thermistor 2 has a short circuit or an open circuit 

T1 Low – Indicates a low temperature alarm in Zone 1 

T2 Low – Indicates a low temperature alarm in Zone 2  

T1 High – Indicates a high temperature alarm in Zone 1 

T2 High – Indicates a high temperature alarm in Zone 2
