13. Overview/Features The ClimateBoss environmental controller for louver/fan houses is a growing tool with multiple set points, data collection, and coordinated heating and cooling to save you time and money. Here are the ClimateBoss series main highlights. -
Page 7: Controller Operations: Stages - Dif, Day, Night
Controller Operations: Stages – DIF, DAY, NIGHT The ClimateBoss has three operating stages (DIF, DAY, and NITE). The DIF stage allows you to adjust the temperature a few hours before sunrise to help control crop height. The DAY stage allows you to take advantage of solar energy to increase the daytime temperature so you can maintain the correct average daily temperature to control crop maturity. -
Page 8: Controller Operations: Output Steps
Controller Operations: Output Steps The target temperature is the baseline for determining when each output comes on. Each output has a temperature offset to be added to (Cools) or subtracted from (Heats) the target temperature to determine that output’s activation temperature. Therefore, as the target temperature changes with the operating stage, the activation temperature for each output changes. -
Page 9: Controller Operations: Output On/Off Transitions
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. -
Page 10: 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. 2-zone operation will have an additional target temperature for the second zone. See the Programming, page 14 section for more information. -
Page 11: Dehumidify
See page 15 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. -

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 13 Humidity Cal – Used to enter the calibration code for the optional humidity sensor. Calibration codes can be found on the Humidity Calibration sheet sent with your humidity sensor. The humidity sensor does not come with the standard ClimateBoss but is an additional option.

Page 14: Programming
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 7. (2-zone operation will have an additional target temperature for the second zone. -
Page 15: Date & Time
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 16 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.
- Page 17 Output Setup – Pressing output setup will bring you to a menu showing all of your appliances. Here, you configure which appliances will be used during a vent cycle and whether the heats will 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.

Page 18: Timer/Mister Function
Timer/Mister Function Depending on whether you are in Timer mode or Mister mode, the timer settings screen will look different. By pressing the mode box, you can toggle between the two options. You have a total of two timer outputs, meaning that you could have one on timer mode and the other on mister mode, if desired. -

If it decreases to just one step above the target temperature the output will close to percentage 1. All models of the ClimateBoss come with at least one vent output, but the C or CH upgrade includes another output, output C, accessible from the home screen. The default output, output D, is available from the “more”... -

The Heat 3 output is currently active if the box surrounding Heat 3 is red. Grey indicates inactivity. 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 22: 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 (H 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. -
Page 23: Overrides
Overrides Not only is the ClimateBoss programmed for automatic operation but it can also give the grower temporary overrides of the target temperature, manual start of the timer or dehumidification options, and on/off control of each output. Target Temperature (Set Point) Override The target temperature can be temporarily changed from the controller’s home screen. -
