Guardian Digital Controller Overview 

  

Designed in-house to be the most advanced 
micro-climate controller in the industry, the new 
Guardian is the culmination of 25 years in 
producing the finest long-term storage and 
preservation devices.   

 A bright, intuitive display and easy-to-navigate 
menu makes setup and operation simple, while 
the powerful microprocessor automatically keeps 
conditions in check.  

 

Before you power up the Guardian controller, please take a moment to read 
this guide and familiarize yourself with the controller, menu, and options. 

 

DO NOT make alterations or additions to the terminal at the back of this control without 
contacting us.  All controls are built and wired to order, and permanent damage to this 
device or your collection could occur if incorrect

 

changes are made.  Please contact us if 

changes are needed and we are happy to assist.  
 

 

Several OPTIONAL features listed may not be enabled on your device.  
 

 

If you are operating the control with a remote wired sensor, be sure to adjust the slide 
switch located on the side of the control before the unit is powered. Information about 

this feature is listed under the “Keys 

& S

witches” section. 

 

 

 

A flashing alarm will display during the initial process and after major changes to the set 
points.  This is normal. Alarms will automatically clear once the conditions near the 
desired set point. Information about alarms is listed in Settings.
