The example below is based on a temperature set point of 70°F with a control
band length of 4°F, which is ½ of the programmed temperature proportional band
value.

Note: in the above example that the control band begins at the 70°F temperature
set point and has a length of 5°F, which is ½ of the programmed temperature dead
band value plus ½ of the programmed temperature proportional band value.
