Basic Digital Environmental Controller

(BDEC) Overview

The Basic Digital Environmental Controller (BDEC) has four outlets: cooling device, heating

device, dehumidifying or humidifying device and a device controlled by the built in timer. The

BDEC has a 15 foot sensor cord attached to a high quality temperature and humidity sensor

which includes a photocell.

Instructions for Operation

Temperature Setting

Temperature Day Setting: There is a Day Cooling set point and a Day Heating set point. To set

the Day Cooling press the knob “DAY TEMP”, “COOL” will be displayed. To change setting turn

the knob and enter to accept new setting. Press the knob again for “HEAT” to be displayed. Turn

the knob to change the setting and press again to save.

4 5

Temperature Night Setting: There is a Night Cooling set point and a Night Heating set point. To

set the Night Cooling set point, press the knob “NIGHT TEMP”, “COOL” will be displayed. To

change setting turn the knob and enter to accept new setting. Press the knob again for “HEAT”

to be displayed. Turn the knob to change the setting and press again to save.

Low Temperature Protection: If the environmental temperature is lower than the limit, the BDEC

will stop the humidity output until the temperature rises to be 10° F above the low limit.

How to Set: For daytime, press “DAY TEMP” knob for 3 seconds, the screen will read “L” (for low

temperature). Turn the knob to change the value. Press again to save the low temperature setting

and return to the current temperature reading.

For night time, set up through the “NIGHT TEMP” knob using the same steps.

Temperature Min/Max Recall: Press both knobs to recall the min/max temp record. Press both

knobs again to return to current temperature.

Temperature Dead-Band: Choose between a 2°, 4° or 6° F dead-band.

EXAMPLE: When using Cooling, if the set-point is 75° F and the dead-band is 6° F, the Cooling

output will activate at or above 75° F and deactivate at 69° F. For Heating mode, if the set point

is 75°F, the output will activate at or below 75° F and turn off at 81° F.

Humidity Setting

Humidity Setting: Click each knob and turn to set the Day Humidity and Night Humidity, press

again to conﬁrm.

Humidity Mode

Humidify: Raises the rH% to a level above desired set point.

Dehumidify: Lowers the rH% to a level below desired set point.

Humidity Dead-Band: The humidity dead-band (hysteresis) is 5% rH.

EXAMPLE: When using Dehumidify, if the set-point is 45% rH and the dead-band is 5%, the

Humidity output will activate at or above 45% rH and deactivate at 40% rH. For Humidify mode, if

the set point is 45% rH, the output will activate at or below 45% rH and deactivate at 50% rH.

Humidity min/max recall: Press both knobs to recall the humidity min/max temp record. Press

both knobs again to show current humidity.

Humidity & Temperature Lock

Lock: If using a ventilation fans for cooling and removing humidity. The cooling output and

humidity outputs will both turn on when the sensor detects a rise above the setting in either the

humidity or temperature.

Unlock: If using a ventilating fan as a cooling device and a dehumidiﬁer to remove humidity or a

humidiﬁer to add humidity. Each device is controlled independently.

Timer Setting

ON TIME: Click the “ON TIME” knob. Turn to set hours setting, press to set minute and press

again for seconds. Conﬁrm the set-up by pressing the knob again.

OFF TIME: Click the “OFF TIME” knob. Turn to set hours setting, press to set minute and press

again for seconds. Conﬁrm the set-up by pressing the knob again.

Timer Mode

Day Mode: Timer only works when the photocell senses light.

Night Mode: Timer works only when the photocell senses darkness.

24 hours: Timer works during both day and night.

Error Codes

S_SR: Check the sensor connection and verify that it is clean and free of debris.

Error LEDs: There are four different error LEDs on the BDEC. Each one corresponds to an output

on the unit (Timing, Cooling, Heating and Humidity). These error lights are triggered when the

sensor doesn’t observe the set point being reached for the respective output in a 2 hour time

period. When this occurs, the affected output will be disabled. It will remain disabled until any

knob on the unit is pressed at which point it will return to normal operation.
