Settings which are rarely or never changed are found on a bank of switches located inside the front 
panel of the controller. The upper position is ON, the lower position is OFF. Switches number from 
left to right. The functions of the switches are as follows: 
7.1 Switch
Settings
SWX 1 - Lock
This switch is used to lock the controller. When it is on, the user may change 
settings such as target temperature and minimum speed/timer percentages but they 
can not change the settings in program mode. If the switch is set to ON the program 
settings are locked. 
SWX 2 - Fahrenheit/Celsius
This switch toggles between Fahrenheit and Celsius operation. If the switch is set to 
ON, the controller will read the sensors as Fahrenheit. (Note: If you change this 
switch, you will have to reset your tunnel on points and off points and your Target 
Temperature.) 
SWX 3 - 5/10 minute timer
This switch selects between a 5 and 10 minute system timer. If the switch is ON, 
the timer is 10 minutes. 
SWX 4 - Curtains independent
This switch is used to choose whether the curtain machines operate off the same 
sensor or if they operate independently. If the switch is ON, the curtains are 
independent with curtain 1 running on sensor 1, and curtain 2 running on sensor 2. 
SWX 5 - Tunnel On/Off
This switch is used to enable or disable the tunnel mode of the controller. When 
this switch is in the OFF position, the controller will not go into tunnel for any 
reason. 
SWX 6 - Tunnel On Stage
This switch tells the controller whether it is tunnelling off of the lowest 
programmed tunnel stage or if it is tunnelling off of outside temperature. If this 
switch is set to the ON position, the controller will switch to tunnel mode whenever
