Overview/Features The ClimateBoss environmental controller for natural vent houses is a growing tool with multiple set points and data collection to save you time and money. Here are the ClimateBoss series main highlights. DIF, DAY, and NITE temperature setting for height control and energy savings. -
Page 7: Controller Operations: Target Temperature
The ClimateBoss calculates the required amount the vent should be open as a percent of full open. It then pulses the open or close signal to move the vent. -
Page 8: Controller Operations: Heating Outputs
Controller Operations: Heating Outputs The target temperature is the baseline for determining when each heat comes on. Each heat has an offset to be subtracted from the target temperature to determine that output’s activation temperature. Therefore, as the target temperature changes with the operating stage (DAY, DIF, NITE), the activation temperature for each output also changes. - Page 9 Controller Operations: Output ON/OFF Transitions The trip point for an output is the temperature at which the output actually turns on or off. The ON and OFF points for an output should be separated slightly to prevent the rapid cycling of appliances. When applied to heats, this is called hysteresis.

Page 11: Menu Screen
Menu, see the descriptions below. Program The ClimateBoss has 3 stages – DIF, DAY, and NITE. Each stage has a start time and target temperature. The 2-zone operation will have an additional target temperature for the second zone. See the Programming section, page 15 for more information. -
Page 12: Dehumidify
See page 18 for more information on programming the dehumidify mode. Statistics The ClimateBoss collects and stores temperature averages for 7 days for each zone respectively. Each day it stores the average temperature for each operating stage (DIF, DAY, and NITE) and the average for the 24 hours from the start of DIF until the end of NITE. -

NITE mode. Set Clock - Select to set the ClimateBoss clock. It is in military time. For Example: 3PM is entered as 15:00, 12AM is entered as 0:00, and 10AM is entered as 10:00. The clock can also be changed from the main screen by pressing Time. - Page 14 2 Roof Vents – Most houses will have one roof vent and one side vent. By default, the ClimateBoss assumes you have your roof vent set up as Vent A and your side vent as vent B. This is so if you have Wind/Rain alarm and it triggers a wind or rain warning, your controller will close your roof vents to avoid damage.

Stages – DIF, DAY, NIGHT The ClimateBoss has 3 stages – DIF, DAY, and NIGHT. Each stage has a start time and a target temperature, as shown in Figure 9. (2-zone operation will have an additional target temperature for the second zone. -
Page 16: Proportional Outputs: 5-Position Vent Control
Proportional Outputs: 5-Position Vent Control There are five steps in programming the proportional outputs: selecting a mode, choosing the step size, setting the percent open for each step, setting the threshold time for each output, and entering a full open time. You can access the screen to program these through Menu > Vent A (or B,C,D) Settings or by pressing the output indicator for any vent on the home screen. -

Percentages – Determines to what percentage your vent/curtain will open to for each step. You can tap each green value in the chart to change it. Valid percentages are 0-99. 99% is full open. Percentages do not have to increase with increasing steps. To synchronize the controller and appliance, set the curtain/vent to off and wait for the curtain/vent to close completely. -
Page 18: Date & Time
Enter your value in degrees. It will automatically become a negative number. 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. - Page 19 Start Parameter Mode When in TIMED mode, you can set the start time. When in Humidity Choose from Off, Timed, or Humidity mode, you can set the humidity threshold to start Sensing Manual Controls Limits When no cycle is active, Set the low and high press to start one.

be used to maintain target temperature during the exhaust stages. If something is toggled off, it will not run during the vent cycle no matter its other settings. On this menu, you will also see the option Heat Enbl. This option indicates whether your heat outputs will be active during the exhaust stage. -

Figure 14: Mister Settings Figure 13: Timer Settings Timer Mode In timer mode (Figure 13), the timer relay will turn on at a single designated time of day and run for a set length, with the option to repeat daily. You can also manually start the timer whenever desired while in this mode, unlike mister mode. -
Page 22: Haf And Aux Output Operation (Models C Or H)
HAF and AUX Output Operation (Models C or H) If you have a version of the ClimateBoss with an auxiliary board, you will either have 1 HAF and 2 AUX outputs or 2 HAF and 1 AUX output or Vent C + HAF output. The HAF outputs generally control circulation fans while the AUX output generally runs gable louvers and/or fans for cooling and dehumidification. -

HAF output to controller a heater that isn’t affected by the DIF, Day, and Night cycle. Wind/Rain Alarm Integration If your operation has both our PC software, C.I.S, and a Wind/Rain alarm. The ClimateBoss can look at the activity of the wind/rain alarm through the computer software and react accordingly. By taking information from C.I.S, the ClimateBoss can learn of outside temperature, humidity, wind speed,... -
Page 24: Statistics
The ClimateBoss also tracks the run time of each of the outputs: Heat 1, Heat 2, Cool 1, Cool 2, Cool 3, Cool 4, and Heat 3 (C and CH versions). The ClimateBoss will store the information until it is reset and will also display the number of days since the last reset. -
