Chapter 4: Programming the PEC Plus Phason
44 2009-06-15
For example, in the table on the right, step 2 has
a duration of 10 days.
The difference between the starting set point
(86.5°F) and the starting set point for the next
step (85°F) is 1.5°F.
The PEC Plus divides the temperature difference
by the duration 1.5 ÷ 10=0.15 and then
automatically adjusts the set point by 0.15°F
each day for 10 days.
Use the
Growth curve worksheet on page 89 when programming the growth curve.
The temperature set point must decrease as the steps increase.
