Whisker switch
Whisker switches tell the controller when
natural ventilation curtains are sufficiently
opened. Select “Yes” to enable the whisker
switch input of each curtain or select “No”
if these switches are not used.
[This parameter is common to all programs].
Ramping in stage 1
Select “Yes” to activate the ramping func-
tion on stage 1 fans. This function allows
smoothing out transition between minimum
ventilation cycles and stage 1.
Purge
The purge function allows opening natural
ventilation curtains on a short period of time
to purge the air continuously. Select “Yes”
to enable this function.
Misting
The controller can control one misting out-
put. Select
“Yes”
to enable this output.
Misting output follows the set point
Operating temperatures of the misting out-
put can either be related to the set point –
which means the controller automatically ad-
justs them when the set point changes – or
they can be set as absolute values. Select
“Yes” if they follow the set point or select
“No” if they set as absolute values.
Accessible if the misting output is enabled above.
[This parameter is common to all programs].
Cool cells
The controller can control one cool cell out-
put. Select “Yes” to enable this output.
Backup relay
The controller can control one backup re-
lay. Select “Yes” to use a backup relay.
[This parameter is common to all programs].
Number of outputs
Select the number of ouptuts in use (16 or
32 outputs).
[This parameter is common to all programs].
Use age-based functions ?
Some functions of the controller are based
on the age of the animals (temperature
curve, controller programs and lighting pro-
grams). Select “Yes” to use age-based func-
tions or select “No” to disable them.
[This parameter is common to all programs].
Temperature curve
The temperature curve is used to change
the temperature set point over time. Select
“Yes” to use this curve.
Accessible if age-based functions are enabled above.
[This parameter is common to all programs].
Number of programs
The controller can use several temperature
programs. Enable the desired number of pro-
grams (1 to 3 programs)
[This parameter is common to all programs].
Switch program by Age / Out T° ?
The controller can automatically enable a
new program when the animals reach a cer-
tain age and/or as a function of outside tem-
perature. Specify what factor causes a
change in the program selection: “Age” and/
or “ Out T” . Answer “No” to both questions
if you do no want the controller to change
the program automatically.
[These parameters are common to all programs].
