Vari-Brooder and Vari-Heater Settings - continued
Input the group numbers of the air sensors you want to use for controlling the vari-brooders and vari-heaters. The
controller uses Shared Sensor Technology to average the temperature readings of any sensors you want to use to
control any device.

Lower Temp by: 2.2 from 23:00 to 6:00
This menu allows you to have the temperature of the barn lowered at night when the animals are less active and do
not require as much heat. Set the “Lower Temp By” to the number of degrees to lower the on and off temperature
settings of the heater during the time of day specified. Set this value to 0.0 to disable the feature. Set the “From” time
to the time of day when the On/Off Temperature should be lowered. Set the “To” time to the time of day when the
On/Off Temperature should be returned to the normal, higher on/off temperatures. Note: there is no ramping of the
temperature settings when switching between the lowered On/Off temperatures and normal On/Off temperatures.
Lower Temp By
If you have set the Heater to Curtains Interlock (refer to the Temperature Control Settings section) specify the
curtain (and ridge vent) groups here. When interlocking is enabled for heaters (and brooders and furnaces), and the
controller detects that the heater’s ON Temp has been reached, the heater will not turn on if the interlocked curtains
are open more than about one inch.
