CBASS (Coral Bleaching Automated Stress System) Inkbird ITC310T-B settings and temperature profiles

Description

The ITC310T–B is a dual-relay outlet thermostat with programmable timer function, which can be set to automatically control 12 period timer stages with different temperatures. The official user manual can be somewhat confusing, so this document is (hopefully) a helpful explanation. We also provide two datasheets: one that explains the settings and display abbreviations (CBASS_Inkbird_ITC310T-B_Settings.xlsx) as well as another one that can be used to automatically calculate the temperature set points for the different timer stages (CBASS_InkBird_ITC310T-B_TemperatureProfiles.xlsx). Please consult the manual for more detailed specifications and information, which is also provided. If neither of these help, then try the YouTube video link provided–it really helped us.
