Overview 

You can access the Curtain/Vent controls) through Menu > Vent C Settings. Alternatively, press 

the VCR output in the bottom left of the home screen. The menu will look like the figure, below.  

Options 

Mode – By tapping this box, you can select which mode you want your controller to run in. Off 
means the vent will not be adjusted by the controller. Manual will make another box appear in 
which you can select a percentage for your curtain/vent. Auto means the vent will open to 
different percentages based on your settings for Step and Percentages. Energy means that the 
controller will extend the curtain during the NIGHT stage and retract the curtain during the DIF 
and DAY stage. 

Step Size – Sets the tightness of control by determining how many degrees the temperature 
must rise above the target temperature before the vent opens to Step 1, then Step 2, then Step 
3, etc.
 Tap this box to enter a value between 1 and 9.  

Vent Threshold – This is the number of minutes the temperature must be in the next step 
before the curtain/vent will open or close to the next setting. Tap this box to enter a value 
between 1 and 9 minutes. 

Open Time – You’ll need to manually measure the amount of time (in seconds) to manually run 
the vent from fully closed to fully open. By tapping this box and entering a value between 200 
and 9999 seconds, you can tell the controller the time that is required for the curtain or vent to 
transition from closed to full open. 

Percentages – Determines to what percentage your vent/curtain will open to for each step. You 
can tap each green value in the chart to change it. Valid percentages are 0-99. 99% is full open. 
Percentages do not have to increase with increasing steps.
