Modes 

Auto – The auto mode automatically turns your outputs on and off depending on your target 
temperature
 (Set during Stage programming, page 14) plus or minus your step value

On – On means your output (heat or cool) will be turned on. You can manually turn it back off by 
selecting the off mode. If left on, the output will automatically be turned back to auto after a 
period of time determined by your On-to-Auto setting. See page 10 for more information on On-
to-Auto. Manually turning an appliance on is generally used for comfort, say, if a gardener was 
in the greenhouse temporarily. 

Off – Off means your output (heat or cool) will be turned off. You can manually turn it back on 
by selecting the on mode. 

Output Temperature 

The output temperature indicates when your appliance will activate. In the example oFigure 8
the Cool 1 appliance will turn on when the temperature rises above 68⁰F. When the 
temperature goes back under 68⁰F, the appliance will turn off.  

This value is not directly changeable. Rather, it is calculated by taking your target temperature 
and adding/subtracting your step value, see Table 1 on page 8. 

Therefore, you edit this value by changing the step value, seen below. 

SP +/- 

To change your offset value, press the green number in the SP +/- row. Enter your value in 
degrees. It will automatically become a negative number if entered for a heat appliance and a 
positive number if entered for a cool. 

Date & Time

 

It is important to remember that the ClimateBoss uses a 24-hour clock (military time). For 
morning times, the clock setting will be from 00:00 until 11:59 and the afternoon settings are 
from 12:00 until 23:59.  

To modify your current time, press the current time button on the home screen (Figure 1). Enter 
the current time in military time and press save. You can also access this function from the 
Menu > Settings > Set Clock. 

To modify the current date, go to Menu > Settings > Set Date. Here, you set the day, month, and 
year individually. 

 

Dehumidification Vent Cycle 

The vent cycle is a flexible dehumidification cycle. When active, the Dehum box on the more 

section of the main screen will be green and the orange box in the center will show the current cycle 
stage. The cycle can be started by a programmed start time, can be run manually, or can be run by high 
humidity if the optional sensor is installed. Each option is detailed below.
