degree increments, click the slider and then press UP or DOWN on your keyboard.
 To adjust a run or idle duration, click and drag its minute or second number up or down.
You can also click the number and then press UP or DOWN on your keyboard.

Programming heating, cooling, and duty-cycle relays
There are two types of heating and cooling element setups: standard and duty cycle. Programming a
standard element means programming the temperature set point. Programming duty cycles means
programming the temperature set point and the ON and OFF durations.
Before programming the relays, make sure you have them properly configured. For more
information, read Configuring relays for heating, cooling, and duty cycle on page 24.
How temperature-based duty cycles work
For cooling elements
When the temperature is below the set point, the cooling element is off. When the temperature rises
above the set point, the element switches on for the on duration and then off for the off duration. If
the temperature drops below the set point, the duty cycle switches off and will not switch on again
until the temperature rises above the set point.
For heating elements
When the temperature is above the set point, the heating element is off. When the temperature
drops below the set point, the element switches on for the on duration and then off for the off
duration. If the temperature rises above the set point, the duty cycle switches off and will not switch
on again until the temperature drops below the set point.
The relay does not switch ON until a temperature condition has been met. For example, if the temperature rises above 85°F, switch
on a mister for 5 minutes and then OFF for 10 minutes. Re
