mikyg Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Re offset Searched high and low ( manuals/forums etc) without joy. The offsets 1-5 does that add or delete temp to that shown Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I would agree that the instructions leave a little to be desired. My interpretation is that the heater will turn off at a lower temperature (set temperature - offset) than that actually set. It would be quite easy to interpret it as the opposite, however. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 My understanding is that this relates to the accuracy of the reading in relation to the position of the sensor. Many sensors are placed near habitation doors and if they are constantly opened/closed they may not reflect accurately the temperature inside the bulk of the motorhome. Similarly, there may be slight variations in the manufacture of the sensors, and the Offset is a means of self-calibration. We have a standalone simple analogue temperature gauge on the wall away from the door and at the centre of the van, and have confidence it is showing a correct temperature. We then use the Offset to show the same temperature on the heating system gauge. In effect, this calibrates the system gauge to reflect the accurate temperature in the centre of the motorhome. It works for us! Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
