Although the manufacturer has made every effort to ensure the accuracy of the

information contained herein, this document is subject to change without notice due to

ongoing product development.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Equipment, probe failure, blown fuses and/or tripped breakers may prove harmful to the

contents of the building. Therefore it is strongly recommended to install backup devices

and alarm or warning devices. Spare equipment should also be available at the owner’s

site. Equipment manufactured by the manufacturer is protected against normal line

surges. High surges caused by thunderstorms or power supply equipment may damage

this equipment. For added security against line voltage surges it is recommended that

surge and noise suppression devices be installed at the electrical distribution panel. Use

of shielded cable for probes is recommended for protection against lightning. These

devices are available from most electrical supply distributors.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The manufacturer recommends that all installation procedures described herein be

performed by a qualified electrician or installation technician. Furthermore the

manufacturer recommends testing all the functions and equipment connected to the

controller, including the alarm system and backup devices, after installation, after

The manufacturer recommends that the following installation instructions be followed to

as closely as possible, and that all work be performed by a certified electrician. Failure to

do so may void the warranty.

Unpacking Unpack the controller and inspect contents for damage. Should the contents appear to be

damaged, contact your local distributor to return the equipment.

The package should contain the following standard items:

1 Controller

4 Brackets / 4 Screws

1 Installation / User’s Guide

Mounting hardware required This is the list of the mounting hardware needed, which is not included with the product:

Shielded two-wire cable, AWG #22 (to extend probes)

Shielded two-wire twisted pair cable, AWG #22 (used for communication) see

electrician note for capacitance selection.

4 screws (to hang the unit onto the wall)

Screwdrivers

Soldering iron kit or approved sealed connectors

Drill and hole saw kit

INSTALLATION

Section B-31

General installation guidelines

Controller - It is recommended to install the unit in a hallway to limit the controller exposure to

noxious gases.

- In order to avoid condensation problems inside the controller, it is recommended to

install the controller on an inside wall. If it is not possible, use spacers to have an air

gap between the wall and the controller.

- It is required to install the controller right side up with the cable entry holes facing

down.

- The enclosure is watertight, but do not spray water or submerge the controller in

water. Cover it carefully with plastic when cleaning the room.

- The controller should be installed in easy-access location but away from damaging

elements (heat, cold, water, direct sunlight, …).

- Do not drill the face, the side, the top or the underside of the control.

- Do not install the controller near high-voltage equipment, power supply or

transformer.

Electrical cables - All electrical cables must be installed according to local wiring codes.

- All cable shields must be connected to the shield terminal on the cord to which the

cable is connected, except for the cable connected to the optional PC interface. The

shield is needed to protect the controller and the modules against any electromagnetic

interference generated by lightning or nearby operating machinery.

- Never use the shield as a conductor.

- Connect only one end of the shield to the controller.

- Use separate conduits for the low voltage cables (communication and probes) and the

high voltage cables. There must be at least 1 foot (30 cm) between low-voltage and

high-voltage conduits.

- If a low voltage cable has to cross over a high voltage cable, make this crossing at

90°.

- All cable connections must be soldered or done with approved sealed connectors.

- Probe cables must be 500’ (150m) or less.

- Communication cables must be 820’ (250m) or less.

- It is prohibited to use overhead cables outside the building.

Electrical power - Protection from electrical surges should be included in the planning of each

installation.

- Every module should have a separate breaker to avoid unwanted consequences.

- The V2 and V1 modules require the same voltage and phase as the VAR BOARD

(X1204) power source.

- The OUT1 and OUT2 outputs require the same phase and same voltage as the

controller to operate.

- It is strongly recommended to have a backup power source to ensure life-sustaining

conditions in case of power failure (see figure 11).

INSTALLATION

Section B-32

- It is also strongly recommended to install a backup thermostat system parallel to the

controller module output (see figures 12 and 13) to supply sufficient airflow and

heating.

- The backup system and alarm must be thoroughly tested and verified as working

properly before using the ventilation system.

Mounting - The enclosure must be mounted in a location that will allow the cover to be

completely opened.

- Fasten the four brackets to the four mounting holes on the back of the enclosure using

the four screws provided with the brackets.

- Then mount the enclosure on the wall by inserting screws through the brackets’

adjustment slots, into the wall. Make sure to position the enclosure so that all wires

extend out of the bottom section of the enclosure.

- The bracket slots serve to adjust the position of the controller.

- Once you have adjusted the controller position, tighten the four mounting screws. (see

figure 1).

Connection procedure

Detailed wiring diagrams

Typical Sensor Wiring for Probes

An inside temperature sensor should be located in the area which gives the most accurate

temperature reading to achieve optimum ventilation. The sensor should be connected to

the controller with a shielded two-wire cable. It should be located in an area protected

from operating machinery, animal bites, personnel or anything that could damage the

sensor.

The outside temperature sensor should be installed in a location which is not influenced

by heat generated from inside the building or direct sunlight. It should also be protected

from physical damage.

Typical Water Meter Wiring

This function allows the user to measure the amount of consumed water measured in

pulses by the water meter (Example: Kent model C-700 water meter with B-Pulser

interface). The water meter interface must have a N.O. contact.

FIGURE NO. 5 Typical Water Meter Wiring

INSTALLATION

Section B-36

Typical Feed Sensor Wiring

Feed sensors (ex.: CSD-1 Current Switch Detector) should be mounted inside the

controller enclosure with the feeder power wire running through the sensor loop. If a

single sensor monitors multiple feeder circuit, run the wires from all feeder groups the

same direction through the sensor loop.

The best use for a single feed sensor is monitoring your silo auger motor. This provides a

clear indication of all feed entering the building and it provides an alarm when the feed

silo is empty.

GLOSSARY

Throughout this document, the following terminology is used. All of the terms mentioned

below will appear regularly and will be in Bold to indicate that the full description is in

the glossary.

Target Temperature This is the temperature goal for the room and it is also the

reference temperature for all relative settings. Note that

the Target Temperature may be affected by the

Ramping Function.

Growth Day This is the reference day used for Ramping Function. It

may be set to OFF, deactivating all Ramping Function. If

it is adjusted to a value other than OFF, it will be

incremented each day.

Growth Curve The Growth Curve is composed of value points and day

points. It is used for the Ramping Function. When the

Growth Day is equal to a given day point, the associated

value point will be the value taken by the parameter

affected by the Ramping Function.

Ramping Function The Ramping Function is used to modify a parameter

value automatically. When the Ramping Function is

activated, the affected parameter will be updated each

hour according to its Growth Curve and the Growth

Day.

RSP Relative Set Point: Number of degrees relative to the

Target Temperature where a function begins.

Differential Number of degrees changed before stopping the output.

For example, with a Differential of 1.0F, the control

turns on a fan at 70.0F when temperature increases, but it

will shut it off only at 70.0F - 1.0F when temperature

decreases. The Differential is necessary to avoid

oscillations.

Modulation Band Number of degrees a variable output takes to reach its full

intensity.

Average Temperature This is the temperature calculated using all probes selected

in PROBES FOR AVERAGE.

Outside Temperature This is the temperature read by the outside temperature

probe.

Section C-60

Ventilation System Overview

The different models will determine the amount of variable and relay outputs available on

the controller.

For the controller models using variable outputs, the variables can be used as a

ventilation stage, variable stir fan or as a light output. 0-10 Volt outputs can also be used

as a variable heater or as a chimney.

For all controller models, the relays can be used as a ventilation stage, stir fan, heater,

clock output, a feeder output, a feed auger output, sprinkler, inflatable inlet, 0-10V relay,

a high water alarm or air inlet.

The controller can work with up to 16 inside temperature probes that it can use to

compute an inside average. All outputs will follow the probes selected by the user. When

one temperature probe is defective (short or open circuit), the controller does not consider

it to compute the average and the alarm is triggered. An Outside Temperature can be

used to override the inside temperature alarm if it is too hot outside in order to reduce

false alarms. The outside temperature can also increase ventilation and affect water meter

alarms.

The controller can monitor up to 12 water meters, 12 feeders and 12 feed augers

quantities and trigger alarms in the case of abnormal readings.

The controller can also operate up to 2 light zones, 2 bird scales, 2 bin scales and 2 Sort

Master modules.

Other features, including night set point, Ramping Function and history for alarms,

probes, heaters, feeders, feed augers, water meter, main set point, inlet positions, water

consumption per animal, feed consumption per animal and group consumption are

included in all controller types.

This parameter is used to adjust the MSP. This value sets the temperature goal for the

building. This parameter will be affected by its Ramping Function when the MAIN

SETPOINT CURVE is set to ON and the GROWTH DAY is not set to OFF. The MSP can

be adjusted in 0.1° increments from 0.0°F to 120.0°F (0.0°C to 40.0°C).

ACTUAL MAIN SETPOINT

This parameter displays the MSP actually used by the controller. This value can be either

MAIN SETPOINT, the NIGHT SETPOINT or, while a transition delay, a value between

these two set points. This set point is displayed the nearest 0.1° from 0.0°C to 40.0°C

(0.0°F to 120.0°F).

MAIN SETPOINT CURVE

This parameter is used to activate or deactivate the MSP Ramping Function. If this

VARIABLE STAGES

ACTUAL SPEED

These parameters display the actual speed of the variable stages. Each stage can display

OFF, or a speed from 0% to 100%.

START TEMPERATURE

These parameters are used to set the temperature at which the respective variable stage

will be activated continuously to VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) MINIMUM SPEED. A fixed

Differential of 0.3° is used with this logic. As the average temperature of the probes

selected in selected in VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) PROBES increases, the variable stage’s

speed will increase until VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) END TEMPERATURE is reached.

The variable stage 1’s behaviour may change, depending on the mode chosen at

VARIABLE STAGE 1 MODE. These parameters may be adjusted in 0.1° increments from

MAIN SET POINT - 10.0° to MAIN SET POINT + 40.0° except for VARIABLE 1 START

TEMPERATURE, which is always equal to the MAIN SET POINT.

END TEMPERATURE

These parameters are used to set the temperature at which the respective variable stage

will be activated at VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) MAXIMUM SPEED. The variable stage

1’s behaviour may change, depending on the chosen mode on the mode chosen at

VARIABLE STAGE 1 MODE. These parameters adjusted in 0.1° increments from

VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) START TEMPERATURE + 0.5° to VARIABLE STAGE (1-12)

START TEMPERATURE + 40.0°.

MINIMUM SPEED (Curve Available for variable stage 1)

These parameters are used to adjust the minimum speed of variable stages. This speed is

the base value used to calculate the actual minimum speed. The OUTSIDE

TEMPERATURE and humidity may affect variable stages’ actual minimum speed. If the

minimum speed Growth Function for variable stage 1 is activated, that stage’s minimum

speed will not be adjustable. The minimum speed settings are adjusted in 1% increments

from 12% to 100% or 0% to 100% if the respective stage is used on 0-10 Volts output.

not activated on temperature demand. If one of these parameters is set to OFF, the

respective stage will not use any timer. The variable stage 1’s behaviour may change,

depending on the mode chosen at VARIABLE STAGE 1 MODE. These parameters can be

adjusted from OFF, 1 to 4.

NATURAL SHUTOFF

These parameters are used to activate or deactivate the natural shutoff logic for the

respective variable ventilation stage. If a natural shutoff option is set to YES,

corresponding ventilation stage will deactivate when natural mode is entered. If it is set to

NO, natural mode will not affect the respective ventilation stage.

TUNNEL SHUTOFF

These parameters are used to activate or deactivate the tunnel shutoff logic for the

respective ventilation stage. If a tunnel shutoff option is set to YES, corresponding

variable ventilation stage will deactivate when tunnel mode is entered. If it is set to NO,

start tunnel mode cannot be shut off by tunnel mode even if the corresponding tunnel shut

off option is set to YES.

FULL SPEED START

These parameters are used to determine if the respective variable stage will perform a full

start upon activation. If this option is set to ON the corresponding variable output will be

activated at full speed for the first few seconds following an activation demand. This

option is not available if the variable stage is used on 0-10 Volts output.

ADD MINIMUM SPEED OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION

These parameters are used to adjust the amount by which the respective variable stage’s

minimum speed will increase when OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION option is set to ON and the OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE is equal to or above OUTSIDE

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION SET POINT. Setting one of these parameters to 0%

will deactivate the speed increase for the associated variable stage. These parameters are

adjusted in 1% increments from 0% to 100%.

PROTECTION MINIMUM SPEED

These parameters are used to set the respective minimum variable speed when activated

by the timer and by the protection option on the minimum speed and the protection

minimum speed function is activated. The respective variable stage will be active at the

speed adjusted here when active by its timer and its temperature is equal or under to the

TEMPERATURE PROTECTION UNDER. If VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) PROTECTION

MINIMUM SPEED is set to Stop, the variable stage will deactivate instead of reducing its

speed. If VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) PROTECTION MINIMUM SPEED is set to OFF, this

function will be deactivated. This speed can also be used for dehumidification if the

VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) PROTECTION MINIMUM SPEED ON

DEHUMIDIFICATION option is set to Yes. These parameters are adjusted in 1% from

Stop, OFF, 12% to 100%.

PROTECTION MINIMUM SPEED ON DEHUMIDIFICATION

These parameters are used to determine if VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) PROTECTION

MINIMUM SPEED will be used on a dehumidification demand on the respective variable

stage. If this option is set to Yes, the corresponding variable stage will use that speed

when activated for dehumidification. If this option is set to No, the variable stage will not

be affected by the minimum speed protection when activated for dehumidification.

set to No, inlet will associate the VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) MINIMUM SPEED (including Outside Temperature affects, but excluding humidity affects) to AIR INLET

(1-16) VARIABLE (1-12) START POSITION. These parameters can be adjusted to No or

Yes.

MINIMUM SPEED REFERENCE FOR INLET

These parameters are used to set the reference speed used by Position Mode inlets for the

beginning of the Modulation Band of the respective variable stage. The inlets positions

in Position Mode will modulate from de AIR INLET (1-16) VARIABLE (1-12) START

POSITION when variable stage is activated at VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) MINIMUM

SPEED REFERENCE FOR INLET. The inlet opening will increase proportionally to the

variable stage speed to reach AIR INLET (1-16) VARIABLE (1-12) END POSITION when

the variable stage is active to VARIABLE STAGE (1-12) MAXIMUM SPEED. These

parameters are adjusted in 1% increments from 12% to 100%.

AFFECTED BY HUMIDITY

These options are used to determine if variable stage (2-12) may be activated for

dehumidification. If this option is set to Yes, variable stage (2-12) will be activated at its

increased minimum speed when the actual humidity reaches the HUMIDITY SET POINT + VARIABLE STAGE (2-12) HUMIDITY RELATIVE SET POINT even if VARIABLE

STAGE (2-12) START TEMPERATURE hasn’t been reached. If this option is set to No,

variable stage (2-12) will never be activated by humidity.

ADD MINIMUM SPEED FOR HUMIDITY

These parameters are used to adjust the speed increase that will be applied on the

respective variable stage for the dehumidification logic. When the actual humidity

reaches the HUMIDITY SET POINT, VARIABLE STAGE 1 MINIMUM SPEED will be

increased by this value and, if VARIABLE STAGE 1 START TEMPERATURE isn’t

reached, it will activate continuously at its new minimum speed. When the actual

humidity reaches the HUMIDITY SET POINT + VARIABLE STAGE (2-12) HUMIDITY

RELATIVE SETPOINT, variable stage (2-12)’s will be increased by VARIABLE STAGE

(2-12) ADD MINIMUM SPEED FOR HUMIDITY and, if VARIABLE STAGE (2-12)

START TEMPERATURE hasn’t been reached. There is a fixed Differential of 3RH% on

this logic. This parameter is adjusted in 1RH% increments from 0RH% to 100RH%.

AFFECTED BY HUMIDITY LEVEL 2

These options are used to determine if variable stage (1-4) may be activated for level 2

dehumidification. If this option is set to Yes, variable stage (1-4) will be activated at its

increased minimum speed when the actual humidity reaches the HUMIDITY SET POINT + VARIABLE STAGE (1-4) HUMIDITY RELATIVE SET POINT LEVEL 2 even if

VARIABLE STAGE (1-4) START TEMPERATURE hasn’t been reached. If this option is

set to No, variable stage (1-4) will never be activated by level 2 dehumidification.

STAGE 5 ON TEMPERATURE. As the temperature continues to increase, variable stage

4 will modulate according to its own modulation band (VARIABLE STAGE 4 END

TEMPERATURE - VARIABLE STAGE 4 START TEMPERATURE). When there is no

longer a temperature demand for on/off stage 5, variable stage 4 will return to the speed

calculated by its own settings. Setting one of these parameters to STOP will deactivate

the last variable stage when the first on/off stage activates on temperature demand.

This parameter is used to reactivate the inlet in natural mode if it is closed by the AIR

INLET (1-16) CLOSE IN NATURAL. When inlet temperature reaches this parameter,

inlet will not be forced to close in natural mode. A fixed Differential of 1.0° is used with

this logic. This parameter is adjusted in 0.1° increments from 0.0° to 40.0°C, OFF (0.0°F

to 120.0°F, OFF).

POSITION ON TIMER/HEATING

This parameter determines the behavior of the inlet for its positioning when a ventilation

stage is activated by its timer or by a heater. When this parameter is set to V1Str, in

minimum ventilation, no matter which stage is activated by its timer or by a heater, the

inlet will position itself at the AIR INLET (1-16) VARIABLE 1 START POSITION if no

stage is activated by temperature. When a stage is activated by temperature, the inlet will

position itself according to the opening position of the last stage which is activated by

temperature. If this parameter setting is between 0% and 100% inclusive, the inlet will act

as the previous case, replacing the V1Str position by the position adjusted in this

parameter. When this parameter is set to Stages, the inlet will position itself according to

the opening position of the last stage which is activated by temperature, its timer or by a

heater. This parameter can be set to V1Str, Stages or adjusted in 1% increments from 0%

This parameter is used to adjust the compensation that will be applied to the inlet for each

degree of difference between its temperature and the AIR INLET (1-16) PROBES temperature. When the inlet’s temperature is greater than the AIR INLET (1-16) PROBES,

the inlet’s opening will be increased by this value for every degree of difference. When

the AIR INLET (1-16) PROBES temperature is less than the AVERAGE

TEMPERATURE the inlet’s opening will be decreased by this value for every degree of

difference. This compensation will be applied only if the inlet is positioned for the stage

selected at AIR INLET (1-16) MINIMUM STAGE TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION or

a higher stage. Temperature compensation is not available for zone position mode inlets.

This parameter is adjusted in 1% increments from 0% to 99%.

This parameter is used to adjust the compensation that will be applied to the inlet when

the static pressure is not under AIR INLET LOW STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT or not

above AIR INLET HIGH STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT. When the static pressure is

greater than AIR INLET HIGH STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT, the inlet’s opening will

be increased by this value every time AIR INLET STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION

DELAY has expired. When the static pressure is less than AIR INLET LOW STATIC

PRESSURE SETPOINT, the inlet’s opening will be decreased by this value every time

AIR INLET STATIC COMPENSATION PRESSURE DELAY has expired. Static pressure

compensation will be applied only when the inlet is using the position of a stage who’s

corresponding AIR INLET VARIABLE STAGES/STAGES AFFECTED BY STATIC

PRESSURE COMPENSATION and the position added or reduced is reset each time a

ventilation stage is activated. Pressure compensation will be checked each time the AIR

INLET STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION DELAY has expired. This parameter is


LOW STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT

This parameter is used to adjust the value at which inlet static pressure compensation will

begin to reduce the inlet’s opening. When the static pressure is less than this parameter,

the inlet’s opening will be decreased by AIR INLET STATIC PRESSURE

COMPENSATION for every 0.010”WC of difference. Pressure compensation will be

checked each time the AIR INLET STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION DELAY has

expired. Static pressure compensation will be applied only when the inlet is using the

STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION DELAY

This parameter is used to adjust the time after which static pressure will be checked to

evaluate static pressure compensation on the inlet’s position. When the static pressure is

not within AIR INLET LOW STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT and AIR INLET HIGH

STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT, this delay will start. Once the delay has expired, the

compensation will be evaluated and applied. Once the compensation is evaluated, the

delay starts once again and compensation will be evaluated and applied again when the

delay expires once more. This cycle continues as long as the static pressure is outside the

AIR INLET LOW STATIC PRESSURE SETPOINT and AIR INLET HIGH STATIC

PRESSURE SETPOINT limits. Static pressure compensation will be applied only when

the inlet is using the position of a stage whose corresponding AIR INLET VARIABLE

STAGES/STAGES AFFECTED BY STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION option is

selected. This parameter is adjusted in 1-second increments from 0 second to 999

seconds.

STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION LIMIT

This parameter is used to set the limit for the static pressure compensation. The static

pressure compensation will not alter the inlet’s position by a value greater than the one

set here. This parameter is adjusted in 1% increments from 0% to 100%.

VARIABLE STAGES AFFECTED BY STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION

This parameter is used to activate or deactivate static pressure compensation for the

respective variable stage’s position. If a variable stage is not selected at this parameter,

static pressure compensation will not be applied for that variable stage’s position.

STAGES AFFECTED BY STATIC PRESSURE COMPENSATION

This parameter is used to activate or deactivate static pressure compensation for the

respective on/off stage’s position. If an on/off stage is not selected at this parameter,

static pressure compensation will not be applied for that variable stage’s position.

PRESSURE COMPENSATION WITH TIMER

This parameter is used to allow if static pressure compensation will be applied on a

ventilation stage using timer. If set to No, the static pressure compensation will not be

used as long as variable, stage or inlet uses minimum ventilation timer. If this parameter

is set to Yes, the static pressure compensation will be applied when outputs use minimum

ventilation timer.

FAN DELAY FOR POSITIONNING

This parameter is used to set the time for which the fans will wait before activating to

allow inlets to position themselves. When a ventilation stage receives an activation

demand, the position mode air inlets will take that stage’s position, the pressure mode air

inlets will open continuously and, once this delay has expired, the ventilation stage will

activate. Setting this value to OFF deactivates this delay. This parameter is adjusted in 1-

second increments from OFF, 1 to 300 seconds.

inlet when the system is in natural mode. If this parameter is set to a number that

corresponds to a natural potentiometer air inlet, this air inlet will follow the requested

position of the selected natural potentiometer inlet when in natural mode. Adjusting this

parameter to OFF or a number that does not correspond to a natural potentiometer air

inlet will deactivate this function.

COPY PARAMETERS FROM INLET

This parameter is used to choose another position mode air inlet to later copy its

adjustments. If this parameter is set to a number corresponding to a position mode air

inlet, the parameters of that air inlet will be copied when the PERFORM COPY

parameter is pressed.

FORCED OPENING TEMPERATURE

This parameter is used to set the temperature at which the respective inlet will be forced

to open continuously. When the assigned temperature reaches this set point, the inlet will

open continuously, without regard to static pressure. Adjusting this parameter to OFF will

deactivate this forced opening. This parameter is adjusted in 0.1° increments from MAIN

SET POINT - 10.0° to MAIN SET POINT + 40.0°, OFF.

DIFFERENTIAL

This parameter is used to set the Differential used with the INLET (1-7, 9-15) FORCED

AIR INLETS SETUP

TYPE

These parameters are used to set the mode according to which the respective inlet will

operate. When this parameter is set to No Mode, the associated inlet will not move unless

the manual override or toggle switches are used. Otherwise, inlets may operate according

to five modes. In Position Mode or Zone Position Mode, the inlet will position itself

according to the position mode settings. In Position Mode, the inlet will follow

ventilation stage activation according to their own probes and will be able to use

temperature and static pressure compensation. In Zone Position Mode, the inlet will

follow the ventilation stages as if they used the air inlet’s probes and will not be able to

use temperature and static pressure compensation. In Natural Pot the inlet can trigger

natural mode and will position itself according to the assigned temperature and the

parameter adjustments of that mode. In Natural Time mode, the inlet can trigger natural

mode and will position itself according to the assigned temperature and the parameter

adjustments of that mode. In Static Pressure mode, the inlet will position itself according

to the static pressure, assigned temperature and the parameter adjustments of that mode.

Inlets 8 and 16 cannot be assigned to Natural Time or Static Pressure mode.

PRECISION

This parameter is used to adjust the precision of the inlet. If the inlet performs

unnecessary small movements, increase this value until acceptable stability is obtained.

This parameter is adjusted in 1% increments from 1% to 20%.

POTENTIOMETER ALARM

This parameter is used to determine if the alarm will be activated when the inlet’s

potentiometer value cannot be read. If this option is set to ON and the inlet’s

potentiometer has an out of range reading, the alarm relay will activate. If this option is

set to OFF, only an alarm message will be logged in the alarm history in the case of a

potentiometer problem.

MAXIMUM RUN TIME

This parameter is used to set the maximum run time of the inlet within a ten-minute

period. When an inlet has moved for a time greater than the value of this parameter

within a ten-minute period, the module will not activate the open or close relays until the

inlet has had time to cool down and an alarm message will be logged in the alarm history.

This value should be set according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Setting this value

to OFF will deactivate the module cool down function. If the air inlet is already in cool

down mode when this parameter is set to OFF, it will finish the cool down period before

deactivating the function. It is possible to cancel the cool down sequence immediately by

powering off the controller and the powering it back on. Make sure this parameter is set

to OFF before powering down to cancel cool down sequence. This parameter is adjusted

in 1-minute increments from 1 minute to 9 minutes, OFF.

PROBES

TEMPERATURE exceeds the MAIN SETPOINT, the high alarm threshold will be equal

to the OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE + ALARM HIGH RELATIVE TEMPERATURE.

REINITIALISATION STATIC PRESSURE

This parameter is used to reinitialize the high and low static pressure alarms. When a high

or low static pressure alarm situation occurs, it will remain active even if the static

pressure reading returns within the ALARM LOW STATIC PRESSURE and ALARM

be known. The scale must be emptied of all matter and press on this parameter. At this

moment, the message located immediately below this parameter will appear to indicate

the status of the zero calibration sequence.

GAIN CALIBRATION

This parameter allows the user to start a calibration process that will determine the gain

of the scale. To correctly evaluate the gain of the scale, the variation of the electrical

signal according to two known weights must be known; i.e. weight when the scale is

empty and the SCALE (1-2) CALIBRATION WEIGHT. A weight precisely equal to the

SCALE (1-2) CALIBRATION WEIGHT must be placed on the scale and press on this

parameter to start a gain calibration sequence. At this moment, the message located

immediately beneath this parameter will appear to indicate the status of the gain

calibration.

EVALUATION OF WEIGHT METHOD

This parameter is used to select the method used to determine the SCALE (1-2) TARGET

WEIGHT. If the Evolution method is used, the target weight will be equal to yesterday’s

average weight (or the target weight adjusted by the user when flock is started) plus the

respective SCALE (1-2) ADD WEIGHT AGE (0-249). If the Chart method is used, the

target weight for a given age will be determined by the corresponding weight adjusted in

the growth curve of the respective scale. This parameter may only be adjusted when all

scales are deactivated.
