Vari-Brooder and Vari-Heater Settings - continued
Set the Minimum and Maximum BTUs (in thousand) as stated on the variable heater. These values are used to
determine the current running BTUs displayed in the Current Equipment Status, to calculate the average running
BTUs for the hourly history records, and in calculating a rough estimate of the number of gallons used by the heating
device, which is displayed under the Summary menu.

The Gallons used per heating device and the total gallons used are displayed under the Summary
menus. The gallons used calculations are very rough estimates and should not be used to determine
the amount of gas left in the tanks. Refer to page 147 for more detail on Gallons used.
Target Temperature
This is the desired temperature of the barn. The variable heating device will adjust the output of the device to reach
and maintain this temperature. Once this temperature is reached, the heater will continue to run, making small
adjustments to the heater output to maintain the temperature.

The "Actual" wording will only appear when the "Lower Temp by" setting is greater than 0. (See below
for more details).
This menu is read only and will only appear if the menu, “Lower Temp By x from x:xx to x:xx”, is set. The menu shows
what the on and off temperature of the heater will be during the time period when the temperature is lowered in
the barn. (See menu options on the previous page for more details.)
