CLOCK OUTPUTS
The controller has 2 outputs to control various de-
vices using the real-time clock. These clock output
can use up to 12 timer cycles.
A clock output starts when the
On Time
of a timer
is reached; it either stops after a certain run time
or at a certain time of day. The following diagrams
show both possibilities:
Start Time
(ex. 8H30 AM)

Set the following parameters:
Clock mode:
the clock mode allows stopping
a clock output at a certain time of day or
after a certain run time. Select
“Start/Stop”
to specify the time at which each cycle
starts and stops or select
“Start/Run”
to
specify the running time of each cycle. Note
that the “Start/Run” option allows stopping
cycles with more precision since this mode
allows adjusting the seconds.
On Time / Off Time or Run Time
Set the time at which each cycle starts and
the moment at which each cycle ends.

Assigning Relays to the Outputs
You must assign On/Off relays to each output of
the controller.

Select a relay then set its status as follows:
The relay is assigned to the output;
- - -
The relay is not assigned to the output;
TMR
: The load connected to the relay will run
in timer mode (available on fan stage out-
puts only).

• Proceed in similar fashion to assign relays to
each output in use:
• Fan stages 2-12:
Fan stages can either activate regular on/off re-
lays and/or
timer-based
relays. When a timer-
based relay is assigned to a fan stage, the relay
runs in timer mode when the fan stage is ac-
tive. This is useful to operate misting units for
instance. To use timer-based relays, set the re-
lay status to “TMR” (see example above).
• Tunnel 1-2 / Vent door (inlet) 1-2 /
Natural ventilation curtains 1-2:
When actuators are connected to these relays,
their open and close relays can never be acti-
vated at the same time.
• Feeding output:
Feeder relays are used to stop feeders when a
feeder run time alarm occurs. These normally
closed relays open when the alarm condition is
detected.
Accessible if the feeder alarm condition is enabled (sec-
tion 11.3.
• Backup relay:
The backup relay box relay is a normally closed
relay which opens in case of a power failure.
• Shutoff fans in natural ventilation:
It is possible to shutoff some fan output when
the controller enters in natural ventilation. Refer
to the natural ventilation section of this manual
to get further information about this feature.
• Heating stages 1-4 & Hi Fire stages 1-4 (opt.);
• Misting output;
• Cool cell output;
• Clock outputs 1-2;
• On/Off Light outputs.
A template is available at the end of
this manual to write down the function
of each relay.
