6.5.1.3 Resetting the Actuator’s Position
The controller needs to reset the actuator’s posi-
tion at regular intervals to make sure the vent door
(inlet) position is always accurate. This reset is per-
formed automatically according to one of these two
methods:
•
Reset the minimum position only
(Close mode)
Each time a reset is performed, the vent door
(inlet) totally closes. Once the actuator’s po-
sition is reset, the vent door (inlet) returns
to its previous position. The “Close” pilot light
of the vent door (inlet) flashes while the ac-
tuator is closing.
•
Reset toward the nearest position
(Open/Close mode)
If the current inlet position is higher than
50% at the reset time, the controller fully
opens the vent door (inlet) to reset the
actuator’s position; if the current vent door
(inlet) position is lower than 50%, the con-
troller closes the actuator to perform the
reset. This way, the vent door (inlet) never
closes when the room temperature already
asks for a wide opening. The “Open” or “Close”
pilot light of the vent door (inlet) output
flashes while the actuator opens or closes.
Make sure limit switches are
located at both ends of the
actuators when using this re-
set method.

Accessible if at least one vent door (inlet) output enabled in
the Installation Setup (section 4.5). A password may also
be required to access this menu (section 4.2).
** Accessible if at least one timer-based vent door (inlet) is
enabled in the Installation Setup (section 4.5).
The following parameters are
common to all programs and to all
timer-based vent doors (inlets).
Vent / Inlet reset mode
Select the desired reset mode:
“Op/Cl”
to
reset the actuator toward its nearest posi-
tion; select
“Close”
to reset the actuator
toward its closed position only or select
“Off”
to disable the automatic reset.
Vent / Inlet reset now?
Select “Yes” to re-
set the actuator’s position now.
Day time:
Set the time of day at which re-
sets are performed.
Period:
Set the frequency of inlet resets. A
reset can be performed once every 1-7 days.
Reset delay
During a reset, the controller opens or closes
the actuator during the
Reset Delay
or up
until a limit switch is reached. The
Reset De-
lay
should be set to the same time value or
higher than the total opening time of the ac-
tuator (as defined in section 6.5.2).

The following parameters can only be
modified while the curve is off.
•
Set the following parameters:
Current day
This is the current age of the animals. This
value may be changed to move backward
or forward on the curve. A change in the
current day also changes the animal age in
the “Age & mortality” menu.
On Time
The current on time is displayed.
Day numbers
Set the day at which each step starts. The
day number refers to the animal age. It is
adjustable from -5 to 450 days. Negative
values are used to prepare the house before
letting the animals enter.
Can only be modified while the curve is disabled.

On Time
Assign a minimum ventilation “On Time” to
each step of the curve.
Can only be modified while the curve is disabled.
Status
Select “On” to activate the curve. Once the
curve is on, the controller automatically ad-
justs the “On Time” of minimum ventilation
cycles between consecutive points of the
curve; for this reason, curve steps cannot
be modified while the curve is running.
