The ambient and cool side temps will be on point as long as the wattage of your heat source is what is recommended for the size of your enclosure. This is because you want to have the basking area set to a certain temperature that dictates the rest of the cage temps.

For example I have my baby Burm in a 4 x 2 enclosure. A 150 watt heat source is the sweet spot for the size of my enclosure. So as long as my heat source is controlled by a pulse proportional stat all other enclosure temps fall in-line irrespective of external room temps within reason
Ok..
Bob at pro products suggested I put it on the cool side set the temperature for what I wanted to the ambient temperature to be.. at the time of ordering it I told him my room dropped down to the low 70's before I started using the space heater...

I'll move the probe over hot side then....
