Introduction

This manual covers the operation of the ClimateBoss temperature controller. The ClimateBoss is

a versatile touch screen controller that features heating and cooling outputs, 3 stages (DIF, DAY, and

NITE), a cycle timer for irrigation, misting or lights, high and low temperature alarms, statistics, and

much more. The ClimateBoss is equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities for software updating, as well as

remote programming and monitoring through the Bartlett Headgrower App.

Notes

The controller uses a 24-hour clock format (military time). Ex: 5 PM = 17:00

The DIF stage must start before the DAY stage and DAY must start before NITE

Allowable target temperatures range from 32



F to 131



Allowable offsets for each output range from 0



F to 31



When set for Louver/Fan (Forced Air) houses:

In single-zone mode, COOL 2, 3, 4 activate 30 seconds after COOL 1 to allow louvers to

open.

In two-zone mode, COOL 2 and COOL 4 will not activate for 30 seconds after COOL 1 and

COOL 3 (respectively).

Definitions

First, we need to define and understand some terms.

Controller Operations

This section will overview the controller and how it operates. It will explain how the settings you

input in the controller will affect your greenhouse appliances. For example, it will talk about steps that

are used to calculate what percentage your vents should open to. It does not explain how to program

said settings; that will be covered on page 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.

DIF, DAY, and NITE temperature setting for height control and energy savings.

2 temperature sensors allow 1 or 2 zone operation. (1 large area or 2 ground-to-ground houses)

2 heat and 4 cool outputs. (1 heat and 2 cools per zone in 2 zone mode) + 2 proportional

High and Low temperature setting for the alarm output. (an independent setting for each zone)

Statistics/average temperature for each stage and 24hr period. Helps with troubleshooting and

graphical tracking.

Timer/Mister output for lights or irrigation/fogging.

Humidity probe input to trigger the dehumidification vent cycle or the humidify misting cycle.

Controller Operations: Options

Option C –Adds Proportional Output for Curtain/Vent Control

The model ACLIMATEBOSSChas the standard features listed above plus time proportional

outputs (open/close) to control a curtain, roof vent, or vent window. It has a programmable step

size and 5 steps of control.

Option H –Adds 3rd Heat Output, Set Point Heat Output

The model ACLIMATEBOSSH also has the standard features and includes an extra heat output

with an independent set point and a sensor for controlling boilers or bench heat. This is

accessible from the more option on the home screen.

Option CH –Curtain/Vent Control + Set Point Heat Output

The model ACLIMATEBOSSCH combines the standard feature, curtain/vent control, and set

point heat.

On the home screen, you can check which model you are using by looking at the model at the top. It

should say GHK, GHK-C, GHK-H, or GHK-CH.

You can also check your firmware version at any time through Menu > Configuration > Controller Info.

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.

The NITE stage allows you to lower the temperature at night to save on heating.

Controller Operations: Target Temperature

The figure below explains the workings of the stages, DIF, DAY, and NIGHT.

Figure 4 shows the controller programmed the DIF stage to start at 06:00 (6:00 am), the DAY

stage at 09:00 (9:00 am) and the NITE stage for 17:00 (5:00 pm). The target temperatures for the DIF

stage: 50



F, the DAY stage: 70

Figure 4: Target Temperature Changing With Time of Day

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. Figure 5 shows

the sample settings for the step temperatures and the activation temperatures with respect to the

target temperature for each output.

Controller Operations: Output Temperature

Using the information in Figure 4 & Figure 5, if the time is 8:00 AM the operating stage is DIF

and the target temperature is 50F. The output temperatures for each output are as follows:

TARGET TEMPERATURE

Figure 5: Output Steps

Table 1: The Effect of Step on Target Temperature to Get Output Temperature

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. This separation above and below the output temperature is called hysteresis (Figure 6). A

larger hysteresis will give more efficient cycling of appliances but will also give a wider swing in

temperature. The hysteresis can be set to values of 1, 2, or 3 through the menu options.

Using the output temperatures from Table 1 and a hysteresis setting of 1, the trip points for

each output will be as follows (all temperatures are in ⁰F):

Menu Screen

By pressing the Menu button –indicated by 3 bars in the top left corner - on the Home Screen,

you’ll be taken to the Menu Screen. The Menu Screen is a list of various options from controller info,

WiFi settings, selecting the number of timers, and more. To navigate through the menu options, press

and hold the green slider on the right side of the screen and slide up or down for more options. For

more information on each component of the 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.

Heat/Cool Settings

Use to set the mode, set point, and offset for each heating and cooling output. Each heating and

cooling output has three different modes - Auto, On, and Off. In the “Auto” mode, the controller will

regulate the temperature to correspond with the target temperature +/- the offset. In the “On” mode

the output is active. The controller has an On-To-Auto setting that will return the control from On mode

to Auto mode after the programmed length of time has expired. See page 14, under Outputs, for more

information. In the “Off” mode the output is inactive until the setting is changed.

The set point or target temperature is what the ideal setting for the greenhouse would be. This

is the baseline which determines when each output comes on, based on their offset. Each output has an

offset or step temperature to be added to (Cools) or subtracted from (Heats) the set point to determine

when each output will activate. As the controller changes modes, the Heats and Cools will activate at

different temperatures, based on the mode’s (DIF, DAY or NITE) set point. See the Programming, page

14, for more information.

Vent C/D Settings

All ClimateBoss models come equipped with at least one proportional vent output, output D. If

you have models C or CH, you will also have an additional proportional vent output. These outputs can

be used to control a curtain, roof vent, or vent window. Using these menu options, users will set up step

size and 5 steps of vent percentage opening control. Settings include mode, step size, open time,

threshold time, and 5 step vent percentages. See Curtain/Vent Control, page 19 for more information.

Timer/Mister 1/2

The ClimateBoss has a two timer outputs that are not used for temperature control but can be

used to turn on lights or other appliances at a certain time or to run mist type irrigation. The

TIMER/Mister option has three modes of operation; TIMER, MISTER, and OFF. In the Off position, the

timer relay will not turn on. In TIMER mode the timer relay will turn on at a designated time of day and

run for a set length. The MISTER mode causes the timer appliance to enter an on-off cycle. In this on-off

cycle, the timer is on for a programmed number of seconds repeating after the set number of minutes

has expired. The timer along with the alarm output can also be used to run a shade or energy curtain.

See page 18 for more information on programming the Time/Mister output.
