Setting Temperature Values
How the temperature is regulated
The Temperature Controller regulates the temperature inside the
Bat Box by reference to the Target Temperature. To avoid the
heater being repeatedly switched on and off very quickly.
(sometimes called jitter), it uses a Temperature Difference Value.
The controller will switch the heater on when the temperature at the
sensor drops to the Target Temperature less the Temperature Dif-
ference Value. It will then switch the heater off when the tempera-
ture at the sensor rises to the point at which it is equal to the Target
Temperature. Because of the thermal inertia of the Bat Box, and
the fact that the sensor is at a distance from the heater, you may
notice that the temperature in the Bat Box keeps rising for a few
minutes after the heater has switched off. This is perfectly normal.
