Heater Settings continued…
To the right we have the Advanced Mode screen.
The first two columns are for adjusting the offset of
the front and/or back halves of the PH 100. Each
half can be adjusted to be 90°F (50°C) higher or
lower than the set point. This option is only
available when using the PH 100
’s internal sensor.
If either of the external sensors are the actively
monitored sensor, the plus and minus buttons will
be missing from this screen.
In the far right column, we have the ability to select
how precisely the heaters inside the unit are
controlled. The options for “Heat up” are normal
and fine and are switched between the two just by
tapping the square.
Preheat Cycles
From the advanced mode heater settings
screen, we can run timed heating cycles. This
is accomplished by entering a time and
temperature in the associated boxes.
Tapping Preheat Time will bring up a number
pad for entering a time anywhere from 0 to 60
minutes. After entering a time, press the
checkmark to exit and start the timer. To
change an incorrect number, press the arrow
button to backspace. Continue pressing the
arrow to clear any entries and exit without
setting a timer.
After exiting the Preheat Time entry screen, the
timer begins and the unit will attempt to reach
the temperature set in the Preheat Temp box if
something other than 0 was entered. At the end
of the timer an alarm will sound and the unit will
return to the previously set temperature automatically.
During the timed cycle, the Set Temp area of the home screen will display the Preheat temp. During the cycle,
the temperature on the main screen will be locked. To change the temperature without canceling the timer, you
must come back to the heater settings screen and adjust the Preheat temp. Once the timed cycle is finished, an
alarm will sound and the unit will return to the previously set temperature.
To cancel the timer, you must again come back to the heater settings screen and enter a time of 0.
