Temperature Set Point
Curve
5.3.1
Principle of operation
The controller can automatically adjust the target
room temperature (day set point) over time by us-
ing a curve.
A curve is composed of 10 steps. Each step speci-
fies a day number and a temperature set point for
that day (the day number refers to the animal age).
Once the curve is activated, the controller changes
the set point every hour in a linear fashion between
consecutive steps of the curve. When the last step
is reached, the controller keeps using the tempera-
ture set point associated to that day.
Notes
Certain restrictions apply to reduce the
risk of errors:
- The highest possible day number is 450.
- Decreasing day numbers is not allowed.
- All ten steps must be specified. If you don't
need ten different steps, repeat the last tem-
perature for each unnecessary step.

Cool Cells
The controller can control one cool cell output. This
cooling system reduces the air temperature by
evaporation of water into the air stream.
Principle of operation
The cool cell output can either operate according
to the inside temperature or outside temperature:
it starts running in timer mode when the inside (or
outside) temperature rises and reaches the output’s
start temperature; the output stops when tempera-
ture falls below a user-defined value. It can also
stop when humidity levels are too high (see RH
Compensation in chapter 10).
If the cool cell output operates according to the
inside temperature, its start and stop temperatures
are related to the set point; this means they are
automatically adjusted when the set point changes.
That is not the case if cool cells operate according
to the outside temperature.
Operating time range
The user can specify a time range during which
the cool cell output can run. This allows deactivat-
ing the output at night for instance.

•
Set the following parameters:
Temperature:
Select “inside” if the opera-
tion of cool cells is based on the inside tem-
perature; select “outside” if it is based on
the outside temperature.
On temperature:
Select the temperature (in-
side or outside T°) at which the cool cell
output starts.
Off temperature:
Select the temperature
(inside or outside T°) below which the cool
cell output stops.
On & Off times:
Set the on & off times of
the cool cell timer.
Start & stop at:
Specify the time range dur-
ing which the cool cell can run.
