Operation 4-4
Function 5: Temperature Offset
Sometimes the reading from a temperature sensor may be consistently low or high. This
may occur due to the location of the sensor or the actual difference in temperature
between the sensor location and a reference being compared to (e.g. a radio station). This
can be corrected by programming a plus or minus temperature offset. Function 5 can be
set with values from -9 to +9 degrees Fahrenheit. This value will be added to or
subtracted from the reading from the sensor. (Default: 0)
The temperature offset is entered in Fahrenheit. To obtain a given offset in Celsius, the
value must be converted as follows:
Offset Degrees F
(Offset Entry)
Offset
Degrees C
(+ or -)
0 degrees 0.0 degrees
1 degree 0.6 degrees
2 degrees 1.1 degrees
3 degrees 1.7 degrees
4 degrees 2.2 degrees
5 degrees 2.8 degrees
6 degrees 3.3 degrees
7 degrees 3.9 degrees
8 degrees 4.4 degrees
9 degrees 5.0 degrees
Note: OFFSET (degrees C) = OFFSET (degrees F) x 5/9
Function 6: Temperature Indicator
This function determines the indicator displayed with a temperature value. Indicators used
are: degree symbol, “c,” “C,” “F” or blank. (Default: 1). These are the indicator
combinations available:

Functions 7-10: Shut Down Feature
The controller can be programmed to go into a shut down mode that blanks the display at a
programmed time, and starts the display back up at a later time. This allows the display to
be blanked during low traffic hours each day. Function 7 is “Start Up Hours.” This
value is displayed in 24-hour format. Function 8 is “Start Up Minutes.” Function 9 is
“Shut Down Hours” in a 24-hour format. If a value of 99 is programmed, no shut down
will occur. Function 10 is “Shut Down Minutes.” (Defaults: 0, 00, 99, 00)
