Introduction
This manual covers the operation of the ClimateBoss temperature controller. The ClimateBoss is
a versatile touch screen controller that features heating and cooling outputs, 3 stages (DIF, DAY, and
NITE), a cycle timer for irrigation, misting or lights, high and low temperature alarms, statistics, and
much more. The ClimateBoss is equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities for software updating, as well as
remote programming and monitoring through the Bartlett Headgrower App.
Notes
The controller uses a 24-hour clock format (military time). Ex: 5 PM = 17:00
The DIF stage must start before the DAY stage and DAY must start before NITE
Allowable target temperatures range from 32
F to 131
F.
Allowable offsets for each output range from 0
F to 31
F.
When set for Louver/Fan (Forced Air) houses:
In single-zone mode, COOL 2, 3, 4 activate 30 seconds after COOL 1 to allow louvers to
open.
In two-zone mode, COOL 2 and COOL 4 will not activate for 30 seconds after COOL 1 and
COOL 3 (respectively).
Definitions
First, we need to define and understand some terms.
TERM
MANUAL DEFINITION AND DESCRIPTION
Output
OUTPUT is a relay that corresponds to a particular function – heat, cool,
timer, etc.
Target
Temperature or
Set Point
The base temperature set for each stage (DIF, DAY and NITE).
Usually, the temperature for the first HEAT to come on.
Temperature
Offset
or Set Point +/-
The temperature offset is the amount added (cools) to or subtracted
(heats) from the target temperature to determine the output
temperature. Commonly abbreviated as Set Point +/-.
Output
Temperature
This is the TARGET TEMPERATURE with the STEP applied.
For heating APPLIANCES this is the TARGET TEMPERATURE minus the
OFFSET. For cooling APPLIANCES this is the TARGET TEMPERATURE plus
the OFFSET.
Trip Point
The temperature at which an output (relay) turns on or off.
Appliances
APPLIANCES are the heating and cooling connected to the controller.
