subtract a constant temperature value. (See Understanding Operation Concept on page 5)

the new calculated set point based with the Offset should be 175°F. However, it will not
exceed 170°F due to the Maximum Target setting.
,IUHTXLUHG$GMXVWWKH:DWHU2IIVHWLQPLOGZHDWKHU. If the ambient building
temperatures are too warm in the mild weather, decrease the Target Offset. If the
ambient building temperatures are too cold in the mild weather, increase the Target
Offset. The rule of thumb for baseboard radiation is to change the Offset 4°F for every
1°F you wish to change the building temperatures. In radiant heat applications, change
the Offset 1°F or 2°F for every 1°F you wish to change the building temperature.
