The Roadrunner Comfort uses a sensor clipped to your air vent to measure the incoming air temperature. It uses that measurement to vary the pump operation and control the wetness of the cooling pads. By doing this it can achieve a near-constant temperature on the incoming air, mostly within +/- 1 degree Fahrenheit. The Roadrunner Comfort is the ONLY evaporative cooler control with Continuus Comfort™.
The color touchscreen works like the one on your phone, making operating your cooler familiar and easy to use. Screens are sorted by function, and colors used to help guide quicker recognition of control functions and differentiate screens.
It’s easy to set times for your cooler to automatically turn ON and OFF. Just tap the blue Option ‘button’ and then select ON or OFF time. You’ll come to a screen with swipe up/down rollers to set hours, minutes, and AM/PM. To disable the ON or OFF time, just tap Clear and you’ll be returned to the Options screen with the selected time (ON or OFF) disabled.
Pause turns off the fan and pump right away, and sets a countdown timer for when it will return to automatic operation (“Auto”).
You can add or subtract 5 minutes, 1 hour or 1 day at a time with each touch of the buttons. Cancel returns you to automatic operation (“Auto” screen).
This lets you set a pause of hours when you leave for work, or days when you leave for vacation, to have it turned back on before you get back home.
Touch control of fan on/off, fan hi/lo, and pump on/off.
Once you’ve connected it to your home Wifi network, the Roadrunner Comfort controller will check every morning between 1 & 6 AM to see if there is an updated version of its software. If it finds one, it will automatically update itself. This means that it will always stay up to date with the latest features and the best possible performance and security. Without you having to ever think about it. Or pay a fee.
Some homes have a single-wide control box mounted sideways. So we make allowance for that. The Setup screen includes a control for switching between horizontal and vertical display orientation. This makes it compatible with virtually every swamp cooler control installation.
We guarantee the Sensor battery will last at least 3 years, but we expect it to last 5+ years.
An early low battery warning gives you plenty of time to acquire a replacement so you can enjoy uninterrupted cooling.
