Temperature Curve
The Precision temperature curves provide heat and tunnel temperature curves as well
as a target curve. The low and high alarm temperatures also follow their curves.
Note: you can set zone alarms in Management | Alarm Setting (see page 86).

Note the ‘Set’ Parameters at the bottom of the Temperature Curve table. You can find
them either in the System Parameters under Install, or you can push Help while in
Temperature Curve, and choose the Set option.
1. Temperature Curve Offset
: you may want to temporarily set the temperature warmer
or colder than programmed by the curve. Change this parameter, or use the Alt + Up
or Alt + Down hot key combinations.
2. Set Temperature Change Reminder Differential
: this parameter sets the change in
set temperature that will trigger a reminder to set backup thermostats. The Platinum
Plus logs this event in History | Table of Events.
3. Target Temperature Band: the size of the target temperature zone. The User’s
Manual refers to this as the Happy Zone.
4. Heater Band: heater on/off differential.
5. Cool Down Factor (%): the minimum correction towards target happy zone during
each increase ventilations delay (patience factor). If the temperature does not improve
by this amount, the Platinum Plus will increase one level.
6. Cool Down Fast Response: if the temperature is high, but moving faster than this
towards the happy zone, the Platinum Plus decreases one ventilation level to avoid
overshooting.
7. Min Vent if Heater On Y/N: The Platinum Plus goes immediately to minimum
ventilation if the average temperature reaches the heat temperature. This option allows
you to choose minimum ventilation if any heat zone turns on.
